Jerry Rice: Jon Gruden's 'Chucky' is coming for the young Raiders

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Ten years might not seem long in general, but it is an eternity in the NFL.

So many things have changed since Jon Gruden last roamed an NFL sideline in 2008 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We aren't just talking about the CBA, rule changes or where the Oakland Raiders will be calling home in 2020 (pssst, Las Vegas).

Because while no one who has been around Gruden the past decade will ever argue that he is not insanely prepared to coach a football game, there are questions as to whether his manic, in-your-face style of coaching will jibe with this generation of players.
