ALAMEDA — Mark Davis called Tuesday the biggest day of his life — his “dream come true”.
That might seem like hyperbole, but you have to believe the Raiders owner — when you work on something for six years and you finally achieve it, you have every reason to be jubilant.
When Davis took over the Raiders after his father, Al, died in 2011, he set his sights on re-hiring Jon Gruden as the Raiders’ head coach, and on Tuesday, in the largest press conference the Raiders have ever hosted in Oakland, he was able to announce that Gruden was “back in black”.
