Fuck Gruden
Same idiots that were saying “0% chance mcdaniels gets fired in year 2”
Look at how many reposts and likes this post has. Look at this reddit post. Thats why they create these stories. It gets clicks and i bet all it was is something a beat writer said in passing like “Yeah i bet Mark Davis wouldve mind bringing in Gruden again if he dropped the lawsuit!” Then it turns into “Insider claims Mark Davis open to bringing Gruden back! CLICK HERE!”
As the season wraps up be ready for “Raiders targeting Caleb Williams or Drake May” and that will just be a copy paste. YOu can fill in whatever team in there because all 32 teams will at least look at those players. But when you have deadlines to make and stories to write, you make a mountain out of a mole hill.
I’m on board with him as HC, with two important provisos:
-
He actually wants to work with AOC or a QB we can get in the draft without trading too far up. The reason he did so well the first time is because he really wanted to work with Carr and got the best out of him, but we’re not going to get that band back together now. I wouldnt want him to come back here purely as a rehab assignment, without thinking he can win with the core people we have.
-
He agrees to let the GM do his job and stay out of the war room on draft day. He can give input and preferences, but does not have veto power on personnel decisions.
-
I don’t think it’s likely there would be any head nodding or tacit agreements. If Gruden was to drop his lawsuit for the chance at coaching the Raiders again then he’d have the signed agreement in hand before doing so. If not he’d have a whole nother lawsuit against his lawyers.
I’m sticking with AP man
I’m choosing not to believe that. It would be beyond idiotic.
My feelings are so mixed. I love Gru to DEATH and he is a true Raider. I love the passion he has and the love he has for the team. The Raiders and the NFL did him dirty, and I think he deserves redemption.
But like most commenters, idk if a 60-year-old HC is really what’s best for the team. But dayum I’d like to see Chucky back in the Silver and Black again. 😭
Maybe he could be on staff somehow but not HC? Idk
Prefer someone else but wouldn’t be mad if we brought back Jon
Let me tell ya, Davis does what he wants… if he wants chucky, he gon get chucky lol
And this is the Raider Nation you all root for and accept. No way to hold ownership accountable.
Enjoy that purple kool-aid ya’ll. 😆😆😆😆
Good god, no…
Love Gru, want AP, hard no to Harbaugh
Gruden had this team back on track before he left. I wouldn’t mind it 1 bit. Unless AP goes ape and wins out and gets us to the playoffs, I don’t think he’s that guy, and I just worry about him being Mike Singletary 2.0. I like him as an interim, but I don’t think he is a good long term fit.
