Oakland is preparing to pursue ESPN analyst Jon Gruden with an offer so strong it could even include an ownership stake in the Raiders, according to league sources.

If it means I don't have to watch Jack Del Rio's soft zone defense and Todd Downing's offense anymore, then please bring back Chucky.

Why would you give a coach ownership stake? It is the Raiders, though.

Well, the Raiders have about 10 more years of being a franchise.

I'm not against giving JDR another season, but if we can get Gruden, get him.

I tend to agree. We have a good core if young players and we dont need to screw that up by hiring a guy that hasnt coached in 10 years

And Gruden still has an affinity for coaching. As successful as he has been as an ESPN analyst, providing color commentary for Monday Night Football and helping create Gruden's Quarterback Camp annual specials, many around the league believed it was only a matter of time before he returned to coaching. More and more, it looks as if this is it.

Gruden recently has been calling assistant coaches around the league, trying to piece together a staff, though he has made calls in other years and never acted upon any of the opportunities that have come his way.

This team is ready to give ownership to a guy who hasn't coached in almost 10 years. And that guy is Jon Gruden...
