hoosierhawk Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 So glad we didn't go for Gruden. Davis must love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valpo2004 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 You a Hawkeye fan?? (Me too) You think they will give Gruden the authority to make personnel decisions. It wouldn't surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshinator Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 It is officially the Jon Gruden show now. I'm curious how he will use his draft picks in April. 3 first rounders. Doesn't happen too often in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Irrelevant Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 It seems like they are happy to go into complete rebuild mode with Gruden. Could turn out to be great down the road, but it could crash too. Don't really know what to think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPStack Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Gruden has been heavily scrutinized and some warranted no doubt, but I'd put the guy under the microscope come year three. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chad72 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Gruden is going to run the show, IMO, and we will see how he does during the 2020 season. It takes a solid 2-3 years for the rebuild to start showing its results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycolt1 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I could be wrong but the Raiders will implode with Gruden in charge of everything. Once the fan base dwindles so will the Raiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made a lot of bad decisions, but the last chance for him to redeem himself is what he does in the draft. He has 3 first round picks and he needs to hit on all of them if he wants to have any momentum going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His buyout has to be huge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's already done enough to warrant the ire from fans. Mack is having a great season in Chicago while the Raiders have no pass rush. Cooper got traded and has been playing very well for Dallas. If they don't nail their first round picks, the fans will be calling for his head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've been reading, Davis has a lot of financial problems. The fans won't care though. For the sake of Gruden, David, and Raiders fans, he has to nail all of the first round picks he got in trading his players away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will most likely trade one of them and move back into the 2nd round .

It is him that will be in control of everything including the cap. Nah, I think his ego would not let him do that. He wants to show the world how smart he is.
