Raiders confident Jon Gruden will replace Jack Del Rio

The Oakland Raiders have their sights set on Jon Gruden.

One day after firing Jack Del Rio, team ownership remains "confident" that Gruden, their former coach, will assume that position once again, per NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.

Gruden, however, is "being careful about doing so" while the Raiders go through the process of complying with the league-mandated Rooney Rule, according to Rapoport.

Before jumping back into the NFL, Gruden must also tie up loose ends with his current employer. As the color commentator for ESPN's Monday Night Football, the former Raiders and Bucs coach is still on the schedule to broadcast Saturday's Titans-Chiefs playoff game.

Rapoport, though, noted that Gruden is already focused on his second go-around with the Silver and Black, planning to call his own plays on offense and pursue Bengals coordinator Paul Guenther to run Oakland's defense. Gruden coached the Raiders from 1998 to 2001 before he was traded to the Buccaneers.

I can promise you, with extreme confidence, this won't be the last update on Gruden. He will be the most aggressively covered candidate -- and, eventually, coach -- in a thousand moons. Get ready.

Fuck the Rooney rule which is code for hire an unqualified niggger for head coach. Why aren't hispanic asian or any other minority race interviewed for the most part?

The Rooney Rule is the most racist thing in all of sports. Why don't the players protest that?

Would you want to be the "token" to go to Oakland to interview for a job you were never going to get?

NFL is already too black and thuggish. Should have a quota more white players aside from the QB position. See how the black players like that. Same with the NBA, make rosters half white. See how they like that . Good reason why nigggers have been kept in their place for centuries. Bunch of unsophisticated savages is what they are. Send em back to Africa!!!
