Getting Gruden back may or may not be good for us, (I'm happy about it) but giving him a percentage of ownership, even a small percentage, sets a very bad precedent, IMO. This will open the door for other coaches to do the same. The owners are opening Pandora's Box, here.
Actually, they’re trying to close that box. From what I understand, the league may have already nixed the ownership stake. It looks like they won’t allow it.
Personally, I don’t understand why the league thinks they have the authority to disallow this. I men’s, precedent was set long ago. Coaches aren’t players. Their salaries and other comp has nothing to do w the salary cap. I men’s, we fucking SOLD Gruden to Tampa.
So I don’t see why the fuck the league should have ANY say in how we choose to compensate a coach. As long as the ownership stake doesn’t make him the controlling partner, I don’t see a problem w it. It’s the same as how we choose to compensate a GM. None of their fucking business.
When a company brings in a new VP, they give him a shitload of stock, and if he stays for any length, it could wind up being pretty substantial. So, everyone always says “this is a business.” And I agree. So let the fuckin Raiders conduct their business in the fuckin way they see fit.
So while I agree to an extent that it would set a bad precedent, to me the WORST precedent here would be the league deciding how we can or can’t pay our non-player personnel.
BETTER be a playoff win in 2022.
