That’s why they haven’t been relevant in decades. How exactly would they have done that? No one knew about this.

ravishingone Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) So a convicted felon can over time reshape his image, but Gruden has no shot to ever work at a job related to the league?

That’s why they haven’t been relevant in decades. As for Gruden he saved face by resigning if not he just flat out got fired which I highly doubt it. He probably will just go back to ESPN to the MNF booth and doing Gruden Camp on the NFL draft prospects acting like nothing ever happened. It’s a very bad look on him and I know I won’t ever look at him the same. Gruden's football career is over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully whatever coordinator takes over can still lead them to the playoffs and show that their capable of coaching this team, that way they won’t have to start over from the beginning. yea, now that Gruden is gone they have to trade all of their good players, except Derek Carr.

Every owner should have a mandatory interview with Bruce Allen before hiring someone. If there's something to be known, he probably knows it, will be willing to squeal about it, and likely still has evidence of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting standards for redemption. There always will be. There are a lot more people who can do Gruden's job in broadcasting (and do it well) than there are people who could do what Michael Vick could do. People can feel however they want about it, but I think it's very much true. Networks want good optics and numbers. Right now Gruden's not going to provide either. If that changes, I think that will be quite a bit away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFT investigation results in LV HC being ousted. Diversion is a wonderful thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schefter just said it was ironic that he got fired during MNF. Pretty clear line in the sand where they stand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let Gus run with it now that he's no longer cursed in JAX. More likely CNN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is Ryan Day a big enough name - because you can be confident that that's going to matter to Davis if he's the one making the call. Honestly, I'm not even sure Riley would be unless Oklahoma wins the ship this season. Davis is going to want someone with a "championship pedigree" he can sell in Vegas. Ryan Day hasn't won squadoosh. I can think of several hires that I think would be good for the Raiders, and even could consider several of them likely if Mayock were to stay and have any significant stroke in that decision-making. I just don't have a whole lot of confidence that's going to happy, particularly the later part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
