Jon Gruden to target Rams QBs coach Greg Olson
http://theramswire.usatoday.com/201...raiders-jon-gruden-greg-olson-coaching-staff/
In one offseason, the Los Angeles Rams not only overhauled their roster, but more importantly, their coaching staff. By bringing in Sean McVay, the Rams entrusted a 31-year-old, first-year head coach to put together a group that could change the culture in L.A.
That’s exactly what he and his staff did, but the Rams could be in danger of losing one key member of the unit. According to multiple reports, Jon Gruden, who’s expected to be hired by the Raiders as their next head coach, will target Rams quarterbacks coach Greg Olson for his staff.
Two more names I'm hearing as potential Jon Gruden staff hires: @RamsNFL QBs coach Greg Olson & @ChicagoBears o-line coach Jeremiah Washburn. Gruden had Olson on his @TBBuccaneers staff. @sportingnews

Heard same on Olson. Will be interesting to see if Rich Gannon joins Gruden's staff. Washburn also would be candidate for potential Jim Schwartz staff. https://t.co/4QmVAgtzQM

Olson has played a significant role in helping develop Jared Goff into a franchise quarterback. This season, Goff had 28 touchdown passes and just seven interceptions, elevating his play after a tough rookie season.
Olson was on Gruden’s staff in 2008 as the Buccaneers’ quarterbacks coach. He stuck around for three more seasons as Tampa Bay’s offensive coordinator under Raheem Morris, but it was hardly a successful stint.
The Buccaneers never finished better than 19th in yards or 20th in points scored, winning 17 games in those three seasons. Olson has bounced around since then, spending time with the Raiders and Jaguars from 2013-16 before joining the Rams this season.
