Raiders' owner on Jon Gruden: 'He may reach out to me, I may reach out to him'

The Raiders' quest to replace Dennis Allen on the sidelines may involve a blast from their past.

The Raiders have transformed into a coaching graveyard of sorts, with the team running through seven coaches since Gruden left the franchise for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after the 2001 season. Gruden and the Buccaneers routed the Raiders 48-21 to win the Super Bowl the following year.

Further fueling speculation, Raiders owner Mark Davis told reporters (via NFL.com) "He (Gruden) may reach out to me, I may reach out to him - I may reach out to anybody. I'm not going to talk about future coaches."

Gruden posted a 38-26 record during his four-year tenure with the Raiders.
