Report: Gruden to be introduced as Raiders head coach Tuesday

Jon Gruden is reuniting with the Silver and Black.

The Oakland Raiders have called a "significant" press conference on Tuesday in which the ESPN analyst is expected to be re-introduced as the team's head coach, according to multiple reports, seemingly confirmed by ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The former head coach has already begun to round up his staff as Los Angeles Rams quarterback coach Greg Olson, Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Paul Guenther, and Dallas Cowboys special teams coach Rich Bisaccia are expected to join Gruden in Oakland, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Gruden's last game behind the booth is slated for Saturday's AFC wild-card matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, another of Gruden's former teams, also expressed interest in a reunion but instead announced the return of Dirk Koetter.

The Raiders' pursuit of Gruden intensified when the team dismissed Jack Del Rio following the team's Week 17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The defeat concluded a disappointing season in Oakland, with the team going from 12-4 and making the playoffs last year for the first time since 2002 to 6-10 and out of contention this past year.

Gruden coached the Raiders from 1998 to 2001, guiding the team to two straight division titles and postseason appearances. He was traded to the Buccaneers the following year and defeated the Raiders 48-21 in Super Bowl XXXVII.
