The headlines surrounding Gruden have been everywhere, and social media has had a frenzy regarding his return to the Silver and Black.

Jon Gruden thanks all the former @RAIDERS players. “I saw Charles Woodson … Brady fumbled that ball.”

Great day for the Raiders and a great day for the NFL. The game missed Coach Gruden! Derek Carr doesn’t know how lucky & fortunate he is to have Jon calling plays for him. What an incredible opportunity that I know he will take advantage of over the next several years.
