Also he apparently lost the locker room and there were major issue going on behind closed doors. We needed a fresh start and a coach that holds players accountable. KNJ is far from that sadly.

Only had back to back winning seasons once in his career, and that included a 9-7 season. Last year, he relied on MVP caliber play from Derek Carr and Khalil Mack to carry the team to 12 wins. Seriously the amount of games Carr pulled out at the end of the game was staggering. It wasn't due to great coaching. The defense, JDRs forte, has been trash for all 3 years Del Rio has been here. He badly mismanaged the coordinator hires/fires. It was time It was time after signing a 4 year extension or something like that not even a year ago? It's nothing but a compulsive move based on nothing but the name brand that is Gruden, whose been a ghost in NFL circles for nearly a decade. It's just another story line driven Raiders move....just like Marshawn Lynch last offseason.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense was garbage outside of Khalil Mack and hasn't improved in any of his 3 years here. The offense was good, mostly due to Bill Musgrave who JDR fired, and because Derek Carr was playing like a bona-fide MVP winning games on last minute drives. Go look at how many close games that team won. I think we were something like 7-1 in one score games, that's not a sustainable recipe for success. We really should've been an 8-8 team, but the ball just bounced our way a couple more times. JDR has always been a mediocre coach.
