POLL If he's hired (and it's looking like he will) is Gruden a good hire?

QB Camp interview that Gruden would want Carr to be his quarterback (specifically, in comparison to his brother David), and there’s a chance that’s actually the truth. (Gruden has a well-earned reputation of saying good things about anyone and everyone, part of a nine-year long con calculated toward this specific moment.) The more important truth is whether Derek wants Gruden.

More specifically, the more important truth is whether Carr will still want Gruden to be his coach, after dealing with Gruden for a while.

Per a league source, there’s a real concern that Carr won’t be able to put up with Gruden’s style for very long. Gruden will ride him and needle him and yell at him and criticize him and ride him some more. Carr will have to learn how to deal with that, or Carr won’t last.

Breaking News I guess the contract is a 10 year contract for $100,000,000 or $10 mil a year

Doesn't matter, at least we won't be hearing his name 47 million times an off-season as a possible replacement for Coach X

1-Carroll, Vermeil, and Gibbs all did pretty well after a long absence.

2-Gruden has stayed in the game as an analyst. Hardly out of touch with the modern game like say Jeff Fisher. Gruden watched a ton of game film and is a football junkie.

3-He has a solid team in place. He won't be rebuilding the Raiders. They have Carr and a solid OL who had a down year.

And if Bill, Payton, and Tomlin were all FA HC's....they'd all be getting in excess of 10 mill per.

think how much Mr Davis pissed off the other NFL team owners for when the next contract negotiating comes up for their own head coaches

Just wonder if that means MORE Dunkin Donuts and Corona commercials

Next year Carr will be heard screaming, "jet blue, banana-banana, power 5, dog sweep, lightning, lightning, 72 flex, over, over, 64 fly, silver zoom - hut, hut"

Should be fun.

You missed "Dilly dilly."

I think he is vastly overrated, although he talks a great game.

His record as a head coach is 95/81 (540 winning percentage) and in the playoffs 5/4. He did win a SB with Herm's team.

In contrast, John Madden's regular season record was 103-32-7.
