Jon Gruden: Lack of coaching continuity has hurt Raiders

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Jon Gruden has an idea as to why the Oakland Raiders have struggled so mightily since the turn of the century.

The team has had a lack of continuity at the top of football chain.

“We ... have to put a system in place here that our players can grow within,” Gruden told KNBR 680 late Wednesday afternoon. “I mean, we have had 10 different head coaches, I believe, since [he was last] here. We’ve had a number of different offensive coaches. And poor Reggie McKenzie has had to draft players to fit different schemes and systems and I think it’s hurt us.
