When was the last time you remember a coach coming into a team and making it so unequivocally from top to bottom his own doing? Jon Gruden has come into power with the Oakland Raiders and has proceeded to make every decision based on his own gut feeling, naysayers be damned. It’s actually quite impressive, though also somewhat terrifying if his ideas don’t turn into W’s.
The thing about the 2nd era of Gruden that we are beginning this year is that he is making extremely high risk/high reward decisions without so much as a second thought.
