Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden is off to a nightmare start to his second stint with the organization and the internet has taken note.

Gruden signed a 10-year contract worth $100 million in January and was expected to galvanize the team after missing the playoffs in 2017.

After stumbling to a 1-5 record, an internet user - perhaps a disgruntled Raiders fan - created isgrudengoneyet.com, a live countdown of how long Gruden has left on his contract. It also calculates how much he has earned and how much he's still owed in real time.

Oakland traded standout pass rusher Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears prior to the season in exchange for a package involving two first-round picks, drawing the ire of the fan base. Mack has since thrived with the Bears, while the Raiders are reportedly seeking a first-round pick in any deal involving Amari Cooper.

Suffice to say, Gruden will need to turn it around quickly before the rest of the fan base turns on him in his first season at the helm.
