鈥?The Oakland Raiders never really recovered from the decision to trade Jon Gruden to Tampa Bay 16 years ago.There was a Super Bowl trip the following season when Oakland lost to Grudens Buccaneers and another playoff appearance in 2016 under Jack Del Rio that garnered little optimism because quarterback Derek Carr was injured.But there has been mostly a run of losing seasons under nine coaches as only the Cleveland Browns had lost more games during Grudens 16-year absence than the Raiders.Owner Mark Davis hopes that will all change now that he has finally lured Gruden back for a second stint as the teams coach.A person with knowledge of the teams plans said the Raiders are planning a news conference Tuesday to announce that Gruden is leaving the broadcast booth to come back to coaching. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Friday because the team has made no formal announcement.The Raiders fired Del Rio following a disappointing six-win season and talk immediately turned to Gruden Authentic Rasmus Dahlin Jersey , who has been out of coaching since being fired by Tampa Bay following the 2008 season. Gruden has spent the past nine years as the lead analyst for ESPNs Monday Night Football telecast. He is scheduled to work his final game Saturday in Kansas City when the Chiefs take on the Tennessee Titans in a playoff game.Then after that he will head to Oakland with the task of resurrecting Carr after a down year and getting the Raiders back to the postseason.Oakland won 12 games in 2016 to earn Del Rio a four-year extension but the team fell flat this season. The offense regressed after the decision to fire coordinator Bill Musgrave and replace him with untested Todd Downing. The defense struggled mightily before a late-season switch from fired coordinator Ken Norton Jr. to play-caller John Pagano.That led to the decision to fire Del Rio following his third season and go hard after Gruden.ESPN reported that Gruden will receive a 10-year deal that could be worth close to $100 million. Gruden has already started putting together a staff with Cincinnati defensive coordinator Paul Guenther among those expected to join.Gruden told ESPN earlier this week that he had a good talk with Davis about returning to the organization and believed there was a good chance it would happen.Gruden spent four seasons as coach in Oakland from 1998-2001. After leading the Raiders to 8-8 records his first two years, Gruden helped the team reach the AFC title game following the 2000 season and got Oakland back into the playoffs the following season.His tenure ended shortly after the Tuck Rule loss to the New England Patriots when he was traded the following month to Tampa Bay for two first-round draft picks, two second-rounders and $8 million.Gruden beat the Raiders in the Super Bowl in his first season with the Buccaneers but didnt win another playoff game for Tampa Bay in his final six seasons. He has a 95-81 career record.The Raiders have complied with the Rooney Rule and interviewed minority candidates for the job, according to NFL spokesman Joe Lockhart. I can tell you we believe the Rooney Rule was complied with, Lockhart said. Minority candidates were interviewed and we will wait and see the decision they make.A second person with knowledge of the teams plans said one of the minority candidates who interviewed was tight ends coach Bobby Johnson. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Raiders were not releasing the names of candidates.This would not mark the first time the Raiders brought back a coach for a second stint. Late owner Al Davis hired Art Shell in 2006 Mark Andrews Jersey Elite , 11 years after firing him the first time. Shell went 2-14 that season and was fired after one year.Other teams have also done it, with one of the most recent notable coaching hires being Joe Gibbs in Washington. Gibbs stepped away following the 1992 season with three Super Bowl titles in his career. He came back in 2004 and had a 30-34 record in four seasons, leading Washington to two playoff berths.The timing of the news conference was first reported by the Raiders Snake Pit website.AP Pro Football Writer Schuyler Dixon contributed to this report The attorney for the ex-girlfriend of Reuben Foster said Wednesday that her client initially lied to authorities when she accused the San Francisco 49ers linebacker of hitting her leading to domestic violence charges.
Attorney Stephanie Rickard issued a statement on behalf of Elissa Ennis that said her client can prove the injuries in February that led to the charges were not caused by Foster.
"(Foster) did not strike her, injure her or threaten her," Rickard said.
Rickard said Ennis' injuries were the result of a fight with another woman Joel Iyiegbuniwe Color Rush Jersey , and that Foster tried to end his relationship with Ennis after he learned of the fight. A video of that fight with another woman has been made available.
"She was extremely upset and told him if he broke up with her she would 'trash his career,'" Rickard said.
Richard said that Ennis went back to the district attorney after she realized what she had done and tried to recant what she had told deputies. Ennis apologized to anyone harmed in the case, especially Foster.
The district attorney's office declined to comment.
Prosecutors said earlier this month Foster attacked his girlfriend in February at their Los Gatos home, leaving her bruised and with an injured eardrum.
The 28-year-old woman told responding officers that Foster dragged her by her hair, physically threw her out of the house Youth Fred Warner Jersey , and punched her in the head eight to 10 times.
Foster was also charged with felony possession of an assault weapon after officers found a Sig Sauer 516 short-barreled rifle in his home while investigating his girlfriend's domestic violence report.
If convicted on all charges, He faces up to 11 years in prison.
Foster has not been allowed to participate in the 49ers' offseason program while dealing with the case. General manager John Lynch said earlier this week that the team would be patient but that Foster would be released if they determined he hit a woman.
"The gravity of these charges has not been lost on us," Lynch said Monday. "We take it extremely seriously. We do feel like patience is the right approach right now. We're going to learn things through this legal process. I do want to be very clear, abundantly clear, that if these charges are proven true Seahawks Shaquem Griffin Jersey , if Reuben indeed hit this young lady, he won't be a part of our organization going forward."
The 49ers drafted Foster 31st overall last year after questions about his health and character caused him to drop from being a possible top 10 pick.
Foster delivered on the field, ranking second on the team with 72 tackles in 10 games as a rookie and looking like a key part of San Francisco's defensive future.
Foster then was charged in January in Alabama with second-degree marijuana possession before the incident in February that led to the most recent charges.
