Expected to be announced officially soon. 1010 just reported it's a 10 year deal worth $100mil..... [BLEEP]

now he can win a superbowl with Jacks team

I think Oakland will regret this in 2-3 years.

Good luck with that.

Curious to see if he can fix Carr from the damage Del Rio did to him.

He is bringing Greg Olsen in as his O.C.

Curious to see if Gruden still has the ability to put together a winner. It's been long time since he coached. Wonder if the pressure and demands will seem worth it in a year.

For an 8 figure contract, I doubt he even cares.

Anyone think coaching salaries should be lumped into the salary cap? Not sure which way I'd go on that.

What a joke.

Seems like a gigantic overpay for way too many years

Still?

He had one good run in 2002 and then was a .500 coach. He's 95-81. Only had one season with double digit wins after his SB.

He was average at best no? So holding out this long gets him a 100 mill contact? Makes no sense.

He's essentially Jeff Fisher if Tennessee won that SB

He will fail miserably.

They could have gotten Jeff for a lot cheaper too.

This funniest thing about this is if Gruden fails miserably the first 3 years they won't fire him because the payoff is too much.

That's a fully guaranteed 100 million contract.

Wonder if he’s going to hire Gus Bradley?

10 years for a guy who hasnt coached in almost that long...at least they're embracing the whole Las Vegas/gambling thing.

Huh.

Fully guaranteed?

Oof.

Ten years?

Yikes.

Poorest owner in the league too.

Yup.  Lil Davis’s whole fortune is tied to the Raiders.  He doesn’t have a billion dollar side company like Shad.  

Out of respect for Al’s progressiveness and the Raider fans’ passion I’ve always rooted for the franchise softly, unless playing the Jags, in which case I’d wish them annihilation.  

There’s been an interesting underrated storyline between the two franchises in terms of recent draft capital, the Carr/Bortles, Mack/Fowler/Ngakoue, Robinson/Cooper, FA moves etc parallels, where until this year everyone was lauding the Raiders superior acquisition efficiency...but...turns out...Dave might’ve outdone Reggie.

I think this is a terrible move, but hey what do I know.  Personally I find Gruden grossly overrated.  I don’t doubt his passion but he doesn’t strike me as super-intelligent, and seems susceptible to latch to popular opinion, and prone to over-excitement.  I’d imagine he’s a great motivator, but statistically speaking he’s good- above mediocre -not great.

A ten year 100 mil deal seems oddly desperate or naively irresponsible.
