They kick Gruden to the curb only for him to go to Tampa, give them just enough of a boost to their offense and let that epic defensive unit carry them to the Superbowl where he literally destroys his former team by telling said epic defense every single thing that they were about to do before they did it.
Bill Callahan was running Jon Gruden's offense against Jon Gruden and a savage Tampa Bay defensive unit. It was over before it ever started.
It doesn't really get more epic fail than that.

The Raiders didn't fire Gruden. They traded him away.
That was back when you could trade your coach.
