Word around the league is that Jon Gruden is in line to rejoin the Raiders
• Jon Gruden has been out of the NFL since his abrupt firing by the Buccaneers in 2008, when inside sources said the players turned against his hard coaching style. Known for his admiration of John Madden, many executives around the league believed Gruden was destined for a prime-time role in the broadcast booth and would seek to spend the rest of his career there, capitalizing on the naming rights involved with the video gaming world that reportedly have generated more than $100 million for Madden. While spending the past three seasons working for ESPN on Monday nights, Gruden also has not stopped spending extensive time grilling and getting to know the next batch of quarterbacks to come through the NFL in his annual "Gruden's QB Camp" series, logic would indicate, in preparation for the next coaching opportunity. The latest scuttlebutt in the league has Gruden, on the brink of turning age 50, in line to rejoin the Raiders' organization in a prominent role. The franchise’s downturn can be traced directly back to his departure a decade ago, he has a relationship with GM Reggie McKenzie from their time together in Green Bay and he has an even better understanding of the infrastructure in Oakland and the Al Davis brand of football than anyone in football. With more autonomy to run the organization how he sees fit, adapting a model that Davis taught him, Gruden is very well-positioned to resurrect a faitering franchise that went 0-for-November and has yet to win a game since owner Mark Davis put everyone on notice and said he was not pleased with the direction of the team.

What a crock of holy shit balls
Just last week Gruden was going on & apologizing about suggesting he would return to the NFL. He likes his gig at ESPN MNF. I call bull shit on OP.

Gruden is SUCH an overrated coach, it's not even funny. He won a Super Bowl with Dungy's players against a team that ran his same exact system. After that, nothing but mediocrity.
Please do hire Gruden, Raiders... then the Chargers won't be tempted to pick Gruden over Cowher.

I hope they hire him today. The sooner he is not on MNF the better.

I don't believe any of this crap. Gruden could have about any vacancy he wanted, I don't think the black hole would be his first choice.
