Well, they gave the man $100 million and the keys to the franchise so I can’t say this is totally unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I think Gruden is doing well with what he has. If the Raiders just have patience in him, I think they'll regret doubting him. Two first round picks next year will give them some necessary talent outside of skill positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Non-story. This comes out because we haven't won yet and wouldn't be written if we have. Reporters love bashing the Raiders and a big name in Gruden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daineraider Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I dont doubt that there is some divide, but that was terribly written. Very short, no facts(outside of trading Mack), and just a lazy written short article. The Raiders arent winning, but Carr has as much to do with that as Gruden does.

43M Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Terrible article, but I never cared for Gruden. Always thought he was pretty overrated and thought the game passed him by the last time he coached. Feel bad for Raiders fans, and Im sure things will get better, but I dont see him ever being what they obviously expected him to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilseb93 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Good game to Raider fans and no disrespect, but I always found Gruden to be an overrated coach. I'm not sure many Raider fans will be defending Gruden though. I mean on talent I think the Raiders are better than their record. They could easily be at least 2-1 right now. I thought that going into this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DingoLadd Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I have on good word from my "Sources" the Raiders are going to fire Gruden mid-season because Gruden keeps taking Davis's favorite snack from the vending machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My "Sources" within the Raiders organization told me the same but also that Davis is willing to let it slide since both him and Gruden have the same hairdresser. Next season Gruden will have a winning record and Davis will extend both his contract and that of the hairdresser for another 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elky Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Yeah, the article is a joke, but Oakland is seeing why hiring Gruden was a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think hiring Gruden is a mistake. It was the contract 10 year/100 million that was the mistake. Gave him too much comfort to trade Mack and not worry about winning now, THAT was a mistake.

Doesn't really matter how much he's paid; he's always been a high-maintenance guy that has a my way or the highway mentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
