There is a video of him somewhere, yelling at Simms for continually messing up the extremely complicated verbiage on a play call. And this was during a relaxed practice/walkthrough IIRC, not during the chaos of a live game.
In other words, putting players in positions to fail.
As an insincere cornball. I don't get a leader vibe from him. He just seems like he tries too hard and it's transparent.After the 1st episode I read some unflattering takes on QB Derek Carr. How is he coming across after 3 shows?

To follow up on my previous post.
I think Oak is huge for him. Never really started & finished anything. In terms of winning % he's barely above 500. Never showed the ability to build through the draft. Burned Tampa w bad picks.I like Gruden he’s a good coach. But he needs to stop washing ABs balls and drop the hammer on him
We'll see how its goes & ends but in the short time Gruden’s been there the team looks like more of a joke.
He has never shown the ability to develop a quarterback or even really stick to one for any extended period of time for that matter. Brad Johnson, Chris Simms, Brian Griese, Bruce Gradkowski, Tim Rattay, Jeff Garcia, and Luke McCown all started games under Gruden's tenure. Out of all those guys none of them were "franchise" guys. He was always signing journeymen veterans or attempting to trade for over the hill vets like Favre and Jake Plummer and aside from Rich Gannon they never really worked out.I think Oak is huge for him.

No its been a shltshow since he got there. Alienated FO from day 1. Publicly talked out of both sides when he didn't have when addressing Mack & other team decisions.He has never shown the ability to develop a quarterback or even really stick to one for any extended period of time for that matter.

Now he shows up to a Raiders team that 2 years before he got there was a very good team with some solid young talent. He immediate trades Khalil Mack and Amari Cooper and then a year later pays a fortune for a tackle who has had one good year and a headcase receiver. He doesn't really seem to have a plan.
