But then again I just read a raiders blogger tweet that said McKenzie wasn't as informed about all this as he could have been. So maybe I'm just being an optimist. I really wouldn't want gruden making all the personnel decisions. I'd want him to have a GM above him that they could work together with. Oh well. You'll make yourself crazy casting such a wide net for information on rumors. There are very few sports reporters I really trust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raiderrocker18 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 i wanted gruden back when we had our previous vacancy (wanted Gruden, Rex Ryan, then Del Rio). It's not as clear cut this time... but seems like he's going to be able to put together a good staff, which is the most underrated aspect of a head coach (why Dennis Allen failed so miserably). Del Rio got some decent names, but letting Musgrave walk ended up being the decision that did him in. That said, it worries me when one guy gets too much power and becomes the "czar." Because when that goes bad, it goes REALLY bad. look at Parcells in Miami and Kelly in Philly for instance. Sometimes it works out if you have the right guy (Andy Reid, Bill Belichik). We're putting all our eggs into one basket with Gruden. Hope he's still got the fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 The idea of Gruden as HC with Reggie staying is a homerun for me. Add in the fact we are linked to some very promising coordinators and I am over the moon. I really hope this plays out for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaidersAreOne Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Jets fans seemed pretty pissed that we might steal their OC in Morton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so they should be IMO...he did pretty well with pretty few this year. I would be suprised if Bowles lets him walk, since I think Morton partly saved his job afterall. I will be a happy camper if Morton is our OC under Gruden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Will we need to seek the Jets' permission as he's already their OC, then? Or would we use the old "promotion" angle where he's asst HC/OC with us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to one reporter, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News, they wouldn't stop him. That isn't the same as the team giving official permission. Bowles was just asked about it and he said that he doesn't talk about rumor or coaches under contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OakRaiders3828 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Apparently Gruden confirms interest and Said “I hope they consider me” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightTrainLane Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Now we have it from the coaches mouth fellas... https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/01/02/gruden-on-raiders-job-i-think-i-am-being-considered-yes Jon Gruden acknowledged his candidacy for the Raiders head coaching job Tuesday in a phone interview with the Bay Area News Group. “My understanding is they’re interviewing candidates this week and they’re going to let everybody know sometime early next week or whenever they make their decision,” Gruden said. Asked specifically if he was a candidate, Gruden said, “Well, I think I am being considered, yes. I hope I’m a candidate.” I believe Gruden and Mark are being careful and respecting the processes and Gruden current job. The team has to interview a potential minority hire and Gruden is set to call a playoff game this weekend. I don't see any hire happening before then.

Olsen has the experience teaching QBs but Gannon has the on field reps to fall back on... Will be interesting to see how that plays out.
