Gruden is getting aggressive in trying to get the coaches he wants to join his staff. The latest has him trying to lure Lions Teryl Austin away with a promotion to Assistant Head Coach and defensive backs coach.
#Lions DC Teryl Austin's situation just got interesting: As he negotiates a deal with the #Bengals, the #Raiders are making a push to hire him & give him an assistant head coach title to coach DBs. Oakland hoping for an uber staff for Jon Gruden.

This would be essentially the same job as John Pagano held last season for the Raiders.
