Jon Gruden's run with the Raiders was somehow worse than it looked, believe it or not. Great read today from @zakkeefer.bsky.social

Lots of competing forces trying to steer the storyline around Gruden. He’s been desperately trying to rehab his reputation with the help of some old friends. The article seems to ask what the point of rehabilitating his reputation would be. It’s not because he will be a great coach.

yeah I cannot imagine there’s a serious football person out there who would consider him for a head coaching job of any sort

Head coach contracts never include an incentive to win. I'd say, you want 10m a year? Sure thing, win the SB and it's yours. Miss the playoffs, it's 1m. Wina playoff game, 3m. Conference champion, 5m. Of they'd written Chuckys contract like that, things would have been different
