You draft your way buddy. I’m sure there was a strategy.
It’s like we missed being the LolRaiders since big Al died, but we hired Gruden to get us back to the promise land of never making the playoffs again. Here’s hoping the offense rocks at least.
I fear Gruden's style will not work in this era. He's rebuilding the cuture, which could be brilliant, but these entitled kids are getting paid millions and Gruden is a known hard ass. Guarantee these players, ESPECIALLY in the Raiders organization, are gonna give him lip when he chews them out. They're not gonna have some white ass dude yelling at them. Worked 15-20 years ago to yell at a player, not so much anymore.
I would say Gruden's problem is more that he's not a good coach than any "shake fist at clouds" generational gap.

Please note my objectivity as I crossed my fingers for Gronk tbh.
Well noted, broski.

Had to just delete post responding to this, got it. It's not that Gruden isn't a good coach yet (who hasn't coached in forever), it's that if he imbues Jason's "Get Off My Lawn" mentality, it's more on him then the generational gap.

Yeah, Gruden has seen far more success as a coach than most have.
They couldn't come to terms with someone on a contract. That is no reflection on anyone unless it becomes a habit. Sometimes teams and players just don't agree on value. At least the Raiders got a fair return on him.
