Who is Rich Bisaccia? Here's what we know about Raiders' interim head coach, Jon Gruden's replacement

In the span of just a few hours on Monday night, Jon Gruden went from "Las Vegas Raiders head coach in hot water due to a racist comment in an email" to "former head coach who resigned due to racist, misogynistic, and anti-gay emails he sent over a seven-year span."

It's a huge fall, but there's a saying in the NFL: next man up. And the next man up for the Las Vegas Raiders is Rich Bisaccia, special teams coordinator and assistant head coach.

Team owner Mark Davis named Bisaccia as interim head coach shortly after Gruden resigned Monday evening, though he wasn't the obvious choice for the job.
