The Oakland Raiders have reportedly reached an agreement to make Jon Gruden their next head coach. Since the financial commitment and duration is said to be close to $100 million for 10 years, social media naturally had a lot to say about it.

The average NFL player’s career is just 3 years. Average salary for Oakland Raiders players for 2017-18 is $2.9 million. Yes, the players risking their bodies (and brains). Jon Gruden got 10 yrs, $100 million. Pays to be a coach $$
