Jon Gruden Says He'll "Look At The Reasons Why" The Raiders Had No Pass Rush
The Raiders actually looked feisty in the first half of their season-opener against the Rams last night.

Maybe Change Is A Bad Thing?
It was a bad week to be an NFL coach making his debut on their new team. After Jon Gruden’s Raiders decided to allow the Rams to score 23 straight points on their way to a 33-13 loss, new coaches ended the first week of the regular season a combined 0-7, breaking a 17-year NFL record....
Alarmingly Red Jon Gruden: Khalil Mack Didn't Want To Be Here

Report: Raiders Give 10-Year Contract To Guy Who Hasn't Coached Since 2009

Report: The Raiders Are Prepared To Dump Out Their Wallets For Jon Gruden
Jon Gruden coached in Oakland for four good years, leading the Raiders to four consecutive .500-or-better seasons, including two playoff appearances and an AFC Championship game.

Why Does Jon Gruden Think The Philadelphia Stadiums Are "Downtown"?
Philadelphia teams have been tanking incompetently since before Sam Hinkie was alive. The 1968 Eagles started out 0-11 and looked like a lock to draft O.J. Simpson No. 1 overall. Then they won two straight to ensure that the Bills would have the top pick. In their 14th and final game that year, a yo...

The New York Times ran a story this morning on USA Football’s annual conference down in Orlando where officials met and discussed, among many other issues, the precipitous decline of youth participation numbers.

It had been 18 days since the end of the season since we’d heard hide or hair of Colts owner Jim Irsay, which was very strange considering the questionable job statuses of coach Chuck Pagano and GM Ryan Grigson, both of whom, after another disappointing season, seemed prime candidates to be replaced...
Jon Gruden Whacking Carson Wentz With A Pool Noodle Is The Highlight Of The NFL Offseason
The NFL offseason is a slog that goes from boring to unbearable as we get closer to the draft. The lone beacon of whimsy among the increasingly grim and tired analysis of character issues and 40 times has always been Jon Gruden’s QB Camp, a television show about a guy who says weird shit to young pe...

James Andrew Miller, author of ESPN history Those Guys Have All The Fun, is a repository for ESPN contract information.
