NFL statement: “The email from Jon Gruden denigrating DeMaurice Smith is appalling, abhorrent and wholly contrary to the NFL’s values. We condemn the statement and regret any harm that its publication may inflict on Mr. Smith or anyone else.” https://t.co/b9IUku9saH

Anyone calling for Del Rio to come back is an absolute idiot.
That mouth breather sabotaged his own team in 2017 by pushing out Bill Musgrave for Tod Downing. [Reply]

Seriously I don't want anyone to come in and blow up the coaching staff. I like Gus and Cable and even Olsen ... I hope Bisaccia can get the job done and make him the permanent head coach, He appears to work well with the other coaches, he is low key and he has plenty of NFL experience. [Reply]

I wish Rich the best but if this team remains mediocre the rest of the year, blow it up again. I hate saying that but I cant stand Cable. Raiders will never have a dominating line with Cable. He is the worst of the whole staff.
If they go with a new coach, I hope Fangio will be picked as DC. He isn't cut out for HC but his defenses are usually elite. Gus is good, Fangio is great IMO [Reply]

I would not have expected that. Sure, he was a bronco, but he also played for other teams and didn't seem to be a jerk in the media that I saw. [Reply]

They have the Eagles, bye, and then @Giants next few weeks.
Then it will be a big SNF game against the Chiefs in LV. Raiders could very well be 6-2 heading into a game with confidence in beating a team they match very well with. Raiders seem to have a different attitude with Jon gone ala "the next play".
A lot of teams are going to appear to play better when they face the Broncos.

If you catch Joe Schmoe on a bad day and he scowls at you at the gas station, no one cares. If a celeb does this, the story is told a thousand times.
Former #Raiders coach Jon Gruden is suing the NFL and Roger Goodell in Nevada district court, alleging they sought to destroy Gruden’s career and reputation through a “malicious and orchestrated campaign” that led to his resignation last month, Gruden’s attorney tells me.
