Jon Gruden has told a close friend he would return to the NFL as a head coach with the Oakland Raiders.

"If there is one job I'd come to the NFL for, it's the Raiders," Gruden reportedly said.

Gruden is currently an analyst on Monday Night Football.

According to three sources, Gruden spent round one of the draft imploring the Raiders to select Johnny Manziel.

The Raiders picked Derek Carr in the second round.
