Jon Gruden getting rehired to coach the the Oakland Raiders was a happy occasion for Raider Nation but there was always cause for concern. Gruden the coach is great but Gruden the GM could be a big problem. This is the same guy that led Tony Dungy’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl victory then flopped due to his personnel moves. He’s also the same guy that implored the Raiders to draft Johnny Manziel over Khalil Mack in 2014.
But suddenly, quarterback Derek Carr is the reason why he came back to coach the Raiders.
