I don't think so. There's a big difference between reporting on the draft & building a team.
The only reason he lost his job was because God'ell or somebody from the NFL office under God'ell's watch released Gruden's confidential emails in which Gruden called God'ell gay. BTW, God'ell's brother's gay and if I had to bet God'ell may not have bleeped a bleep, but I bet he put it in his mouth more than once.
How disgusting and crass can you get
Yet, Gruden and especially Mayock got fired because God'ell is a vindictive piece of crap.
Maybe some expansion team, but not the Raiders. The Raiders ain't going to let Goodell dictate crap to them.
Gruden got fired because the eMails became public & the Raiders caved to SJWs. Goodell didn't demand they fire him.
Gruden got fired because somebody in the NFL office that God'ell runs wrongly released confidential emails. Mayock got fired because Gruden got fired. You think if Gruden hadn't gotten fired that Mayock would've been fired?
That's what I'm saying.
True. But if Gruden didn't get fired Mayock would still be pretending to be a GM.
To be clear you think if Gruden was still there Mayock would've been fired?
Well. Mayock got in bed with Gruden. Gruden and Mayock gone
Gruden actually made the final personnel calls. Mayock just did the daily stuff and took phne calls.
So Mayock was useless
Yep, all because God'ell allowed illegal things to happen on his watch. This is why Gruden is suing and probably will win his lawsuit against the NFL. Meanwhile through no fault of his own Mayock loses his job.
Everybody needs a right hand man who's well connected to do the daily work. Kinda like what Caserio did for Belichick is what Mayock did for Gruden. There's value in that job.
You really think he will win his lawsuit?
If he was good at his job he'd still be a Raider. I doubt he gets any interviews this go around
He should, it's against the law to release confidential emails. BTW, Despite Gruden/Ruggs the Raiders were still a playoff team that gave the Bengals all they could handle. They were really building something in Vegas. Also Gruden really helped Carr's game.
Disagree, Davis cleaned the slate and is going to put all of this behind him and start with a totally new regime. Looks to me like Jim Harbaugh will be running the show in Vegas starting next yr.
Gruden/Mayock did put together a playoff team that gave the Bengals all they wanted. If Arnette/Ruggs weren't so stupid then maybe they beat the Bengals.
Maybe we have a different definition of "shortly after", because Gruden coached for 6 more seasons in Tampa Bay. He won the Super Bowl in 2002 and wasn't fired until 2008.
