Jon Gruden has secured the bag and will ink a 10-year contract likely approaching $100 million to coach the Oakland Raiders, according to ESPN.
The job became available after the Raiders fired Jack Del Rio following the regular-season finale on Sunday.
This will be Gruden's second stint with the Raiders. He coached the team from 1998 to 2001.
Gruden will no doubt be looking for another championship. He led the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl XXXVII win in 2003, one year after being traded there by the Raiders. He has a career 95-81 record in the regular season while going 5-4 in the postseason.
The 54-year old Sandusky, Ohio native's return to coaching follows a nearly nine-year run as an ESPN analyst. When the contract is made official on Tuesday, January 9, Gruden will become only the third head coach in NFL history to get a 10-year deal. Following Tom Landry and Jimmy Johnson.
