  • 6 years ago
The Raiders will introduce Jon Gruden as their next head coach on Tuesday. Gruden will be part of the highest-compensated coaching staff in NFL history. The 54-year-old ESPN analyst is set to sign a 10-year contract worth $100 million, sources said Friday. It will be the second time Gruden has been with the Raiders organization. Gruden previously served as the Raiders' head coach from 1998 to 2001. Gruden will broadcast Saturday's playoff game between the Titans and Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. Gruden replaces Jack Del Rio, whom the Raiders dismissed on Dec. 31 following a 6-10 season. The Las Vegas-bound Raiders are set to begin play in Southern Nevada in 2020.
