Those close to Gruden ( Cris Mortenson) say that the QB at the prospective team will be an important factor in where Gruden will return to coaching. That said, Oakland is in a terrible QB situation with Carson Palmer, and even more uncertainty as you dive into the depth chart. They also are unlikely to pursue a rookie in a year where 2013 NFL draft class appears to be limited at the QB position. The potential Free Agency class of 2013 is shaky at best [Tebow, A. Smith, Vick]
Gruden to the raiders just doesn't make sense, unless they move the franchise to LA.
