Greg Olson Talks Derek Carr, Excitement To Join Jon Gruden's Staff

In the end, working with Jon Gruden proved to be an opportunity Greg Olson just couldn’t pass up.

“If he [Gruden] ever got back into coaching, I knew that he’d be the one guy that I would want to have another opportunity to work with,” said Olson via conference call Wednesday. “Even though I only worked for him the one season in Tampa, I think our personalities just meshed. We always kept in contact since that time. I just feel real fortunate now to be back with him. Then the fact that for him to be able to come back to the Raiders, certainly it’s a big deal to him.
