Bringing Chucky in before a move to Vegas is a great marketing idea, even though I don’t think is more than an average coach. Chucky on the sidelines in sunny Las Vegas would be must see tv
My initial reaction was that Gruden would be an idiot to get back into coaching until I read that he would get an ownership stake and an excessive salary and understood his reasoning.
Too bad she doesn't cheer for the Patriots dressed like this
I think Davis fired him about 5 minutes after the game. I painted the picture in my head. Del Rio is walking in the tunnel with the sunlight fading behind him as he got closer to the locker room. Standing alone in a corner, with the shadows perfectly arranged on his face to show only his piercing blue eyes, was Mark Davis, flipping a quarter. I gave him a fedora because you can't look gangster with that haircut. Anyway, with violins playing softly in the background, he told Jack that his services were no longer needed and a car was waiting for him outside to take him to the airport. He asked Jack if he liked cannolis. Jack said no. Mark said shucks. As Jack walked to the podium, Al Davis' ghost appeared in front of his son. Smiling. Then one of the Chargers' staff turned on the lights and asked, "Mr. Davis, what the **** are you doing and why is Marshawn Lynch playing a violin?"
The Raiders are planning to introduce Gruden as their next head coach during a news conference on Tuesday, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reports.

Talk that this hire may have violated the rooney rule..... Random tweets and CBS article
They interviewed the tight ends coach and someone else.
Here's footage of the interviews.
Here's a screenshot of the offer to Gruden.

Basically, strap in.
"He has no idea what's in store for him, just in terms of the level of preparation, attention to detail," Gannon said of Carr on KGMZ-FM 95.7 The Game on Thursday. "He's going to be as prepared as any quarterback could possibly be to go out and really play championship-caliber football. But he has to do it.
"If [Carr] doesn't want to come in and spend eight hours on Tuesday, his day off, then you can't make him. If he's not a guy that's going to come in and grind away on Monday nights, or stay late on Friday, then you get what you get. You're going to get out of it what you put into it. I always say that those that invest the most are the last to surrender. We're going to find out how tough this guy is, and how hard he's willing to work to really take his game to the next level, but more importantly, to take the Raiders to the next level."

THIS ONES FOR JOHNWOULD YOU RATHER WIN UGLY, OR LOSE PRETTY?
Can't wait for him to disappoint by being incredibly average. Though I guess the Raiders will be able to enjoy several 7-9, 8-8, 9-7 seasons which will be a nice change for them i'm sure.
