He took a 4-12 Raiders team and had them a tuck rule away from the AFC Championship a couple years later.
In the process, he turned Rich Gannon into an MVP candidate. I'm not sure why people always forget what Gruden did in Oakland.
To me, it was every bit as impressive as winning a title in Tampa. Probably more so.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
