I'm just ready for that Chucky glare from the sideline again. I like his intensity and fire from what he presents, but you always hear he wears people out. I like the hire, but 10 years?!? Ain't that some Raider ish if you've ever seen it?!

With his and Carrs contract that puts him at 275 mil net worth. Hah. Honestly this might bite Gruden in the rear since he explained the spider 2 y banana in depth.

Gruden back in the NFL is a good thing for football but 10 years? HOLY CHIT BRUH!

I don't see him tanking, at worst .500ish coach up to playoffs constantly. Will be interesting.

The owner with the least amount of money gives out the richest contract to a coach :) Can't wait for this to flop and Raiders fans screaming for his head after 4 or 5 years.
Try 2 years!

Ya I think lunch is the reason the old coach lost the team. Gruden will the bring the best out of those players, but i feel they are years away .

At first sure. But, what Ramfan46 said below is what I have heard, and it includes players.

Gruden is a no-lose situation.

Either way, win or lose, he retires a mega-millionaire.

One way he can lose, is to flop and ruin his stellar reputation. Sure a 100 million is an enormous amount of money but the guy already makes 6 - 7 million a year. How much money does someone need to live comfortably. Hell never spend it half of it before he dies.

He could have stayed in media and gone out as a legend. It is fitting that he will be coaching in Vegas, because he is gambling with his reputation.

Now it makes sense why Gruden 4 days ago said “I hope I am a candidate’”, when asked about the Raiders job.

I guarantee you Gruden named his price at 100 million, and Davis About shit some bricks and said he would sleep on it.

Gruden’s work in Tampa didn’t impress me. He is definitely not a top tier coach.

I look forward to the Chuckie Dolls and all but I predict more hype than substance.

I think getting the Raiders back to playoff level would be rather easy though. Derek Carr is a legit QB.

This kind of reminds me of that crazy Steve Young contract the USFL gave him.

They used the numbers to get him to sign and get publicity for the league but they knew he'd never get paid out that much money.

haha. if it was real i thought it would be the guys on the teleprompter playing a joke on the newsreader. at least she's just reading what's in front of her, they had to actually type it into the computer. i guess they thought it would be funny too.

.

And she just casually throws out there that they "confirmed" those were the names.

I feel like the Sicilian from the Princess Bride. She keeps using that word. I do not think it means what she thinks it means.
