The Jon Gruden Era will officially kick off this Monday night, as the Oakland Raiders play host to the Los Angeles Rams inside the Oakland Coliseum. The game between these two teams will be the finale of Week 1 of the NFL season, and should be must-watch television, as Gruden goes up against one of his disciples in Rams head coach Sean McVay.
McVay was a part of Gruden’s staff back when he was the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he has come a long way since then. The 2017 NFL Coach of the Year, McVay led the Rams to the NFC West title in his first season at the helm, and will be looking to continue that success against his mentor.
