Jon Gruden is likely just trolling at this point.
He has totally lost the team and no one respects him, but the $100 million checks are still clearing.
“I’m just trying to get people excited about the Oakland Raiders,” Gruden said after his team was thumped 34-3 by the San Francisco 49ers in the final Battle of the Bay on Thursday night at Levi’s Stadium. The Raiders move to Las Vegas in 2020.
“The Oakland Raiders is a great organization. I know it’s not looking pretty right now. I’ve heard a lot of negativity over the last six or seven months, and rightfully so. But we’re going to build a championship football team here. I know a lot of people as players, as fans, just in general, want to be a part of this.”
Good luck for all that Raiders fans.
