The Raiders have been struggling amid the UNLV campus shooting
As for the Raiders, they're struggling amid the UNLV campus shooting incident. Las Vegas has won just two of its past six games to fall to 5-7 on the season.
Rumblings of Jon Gruden possibly returning to the Silver and Black have become prominent in recent days.
“I am going tell you there are a lot of people who feel that Mark Davis, more than (Tom) Brady and Jim Gray, the person he trusts the most is Jon Gruden and would love to bring him back,” Sports Illustrated's Hondo Carpenter said on December 2.
“I am hearing from multiple people around the league that if Jon were willing to drop his lawsuit, they believe the NFL would give a passive nod to go back and re-hire him…everyone keeps talking about Jon Gruden,” Carpenter added.
For now, that's all there is to it – a rumor. Interim head coach Antonio Pierce has his work cut out for him on the Raiders' sidelines.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and families of the tragic UNLV campus shooting.
