More Gruden

While Gruden appeared in a ton of scenes during Episode 1, the entire show left me with a feeling that we need to see more of him. Of course, I could not allow my three Raiders fanatic sons to watch the show, as they are between six-and-four years old, but that does not mean I should be slighted of my dose of Gruden.

In Jon Gruden, the Raiders have one of the more passionate head coaches in the NFL, and he is even more passionate about the fact that he loves to be a Raider. This is a guy who was made for this program, and the hope is that we will see him get a lot more fired up as the summer wears on in Napa.

Next. How to watch the Raiders on HBO Hard Knocks. dark

The party will get started again on Tuesday night, and the episode was previewed with the Los Angeles Rams coming to town for some joint practices. Gruden and Rams head coach Sean McVay have a long history, which should make for some more air time for the head coaches, who are two of the best in football.
