Raiders: Retrospective On Jon Gruden’s Record Paints Mediocre Picture

A recent Tweet regarding Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden’s record paints a concerning picture.

When Jon Gruden returned to the coaching sideline for his second Raiders stint, most were thrilled. Other than Jack Del Rio, Gruden was the only other coach for the Silver and Black that made the team relevant in the last 25 years. ‘Chucky’ got off to a slow start though admittedly he inherited a team that needed a quarterback among other deficiencies. Nevertheless, Gruden turned the Raiders into a playoff team, and had it not been for the infamous ‘Tuck Rule,’ history might’ve been different.

By now, we all know the story verbatim. He got traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and led the organization to a Super Bowl in his first season. Funny enough, this was a while back and Gruden hasn’t had much success since that championship run. In fact, Gruden was only able to muster one 11-plus win season with the Bucs after the Super Bowl. CBS Sports’ Jeff Kerr recently shared Gruden’s history as a head coach on Twitter, surely stirring up debate among Raider Nation in the process.
