Rough Start for the Gruden-led Raiders

By Victoria Vidales | Staff Writer

The Oakland Raiders are off to a rough start at the beginning of the 2018-2019 football season with zero wins and three losses in their first three games. The Raiders rehired to one of their former coaches, Jon Gruden, to help them improve their chances at a shot in the Superbowl. Gruden has returned to coach the Raiders for a second round this season, which was initially met with approval from fans. However, on Sept. 1, Gruden and Raiders management decided to trade outside linebacker Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears. Following the trading of Mack and the disappointing losses of the past two games, many fans are wondering whether or not the Raiders can turn the season around and if Gruden was the right coach for the job.
