Jon Gruden expected to become Raiders' head coach
 

How are they going to get around the Rooney Rule?

"The Rooney Rule is a National Football League policy that requires league teams to interview minority candidates for head coaching and senior football operation jobs."

Jon Gruden expected to become next coach of Oakland Raiders

Chucky.

Might just be me, but I take Del Rio over Chucky any day.

Re: Jon Gruden expected to become Raiders' head coach
 

I agree. I'm not seeing the draw with Gruden. Kind of expected Oakland to go after a hot offensive coordinator (see Sean McVay).

Will be interesting watching him get picked apart on MNF like he picked apart others :p.

I don't get it. Why.

Re: Jon Gruden expected to become Raiders' head coach
 

they are offering Chucky a piece of ownership....
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Re: Jon Gruden expected to become Raiders' head coach
 

Gifting partial ownership could lead to conflicts of interest and turn out to be a huge mistake. The league shouldn't allow it to begin with, but who knows with Goodell's schizophrenic approach.

THANK GOD!

Now i don't have to listen to that bastard on MNF.

Plus, he's not that good of a coach. I see this like us hiring Ditka. Gonna be a big mistake.

Dumbest move I've seen in years. Worse then anything the Browns have done in a decade.

Davis kid is living in the past, plus Gruden makes his hairstyle look good.

Re: Jon Gruden expected to become Raiders' head coach
 

It's not so terribly bad of a move if you consider the season ticket sales, branding, merch and jersey sales, TV visibility, PR, and the eventual high-profile move to Vegas. But as a coaching move, to win games? Obviously a secondary concern. As others have said, it is a look to the past, and Ditka-esque. But watch closely, I will bet you right now the Raiders get more prime time games and 3 PM "Game of The Week" kickoffs on next year's schedule, more favorable press, and more Raiders players in commercials and endorsements, than they've had for a very long time. Not sure how he'll fare with the X's and O's of the game, but look for Gruden to dominate the media, pump the sponsorship/endorsement angles, and work the league front office like a stud.

One Question, WHY.
