Jon Gruden Says “Good Chance” He Becomes Next Raiders Coach

ESPN’s Jon Gruden this morning said there is a “good chance” he is going to be the next Raiders coach and confirmed he has had talks with Raiders Owner Mark Davis about the opening. Gruden: “They're still, I believe, going through the interview process. When he knows, I think we'll all know.” He added, “I'm excited about where I am in terms of studying the game and being prepared to come back and coach.” Gruden added there is “no truth … at all” to reports there is an ownership stake included in his potential contract. Gruden: “There’s no validity to that, none, zero.”

Gruden said he wants to get back into coaching after nine years serving as analyst for “MNF” because “you miss the players, you miss the grind, you miss the journey.” He said, “I love my ‘Monday Night’ team. That has been outstanding and I've had a great opportunity to work with exceptional people. But the peaks and valleys that go along with the football season are things that all coaches always miss when they get away from it” (“Golic & Wingo,” ESPN Radio, 1/3).
