Raiders officially announce hiring of Jon Gruden

The Oakland Raiders have officially announced the hiring of Jon Gruden as head coach, the team announced Saturday. He will be introduced at a press conference on Tuesday.

Gruden returns to the Raiders after serving as head coach from 1998 to 2001 before he was traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - where he won Super Bowl XXVII - for two first-round picks, two second-round picks, and $8 million in cash. His contract is reportedly worth $100 million over ten years.

The head coach had been working as a color commentator for ESPN since 2009. He broadcasted his final game on Saturday, calling the Tennessee Titans' win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
