There will be 50 total head coach and general manager press conferences held at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine this year. The Bills don’t seem to be on the schedule at all for some reason. That means of the league’s 32 teams, 19 of them will have both their head coach and their general manager. The Raiders won’t be one of them.
Mike Mayock will take to podium three on Tuesday at 11:15 a.m. E.T (8:15 A.M. P.T.) Meanwhile, the usually talkative Jon Gruden will be skipping the press conference portion this year.

Last year both Gruden and Mayock spoke at the combine. But it’s not vital that they both take the podium. No doubt, Gruden envisions the various ways media can ask him the same question about Derek Carr’s future to which he will have to say something to the effect that he isn’t going to address that at this time. And after the third or fourth attempt to get him to comment on it, he’ll get visibly irritated and start his next answer with “Look…” We can all picture it now and that will have to be enough for him not to participate any further.
Don’t worry though, Mayock will have to field the same questions. And hopefully, it will be televised so everyone can see his responses.
