Jon Gruden stands by Raiders defensive coordinator Paul Guenther

We have officially reached the point where Raiders’ coach Jon Gruden is being asked about his faith in defensive coordinator Paul Guenther.

It was a topic of Gruden’s press briefing on Monday, just one day after the defense played a big role in the Raiders’ second straight defeat. Despite being 2-2, the Las Vegas defense has been a problem in all four games. So, questions about Guenther’s job security have inevitably begun.

Yet, Gruden is backing Guenther, who has been his defensive coordinator since Gruden returned to be the Raiders’ coach in 2018.
