Jon Gruden Joins Barstool Sports After Controversy

Jon Gruden, who resigned as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021 after emails surfaced revealing his use of racist and homophobic language, has accepted a multi-year role with Barstool Sports. Despite his new position in sports media, Gruden is reportedly still aspiring to return to the NFL, with former players suggesting that teams may be interested in hiring him in the near future. Gruden has been active on social media, building a following through game analysis and football tutorials, which may have facilitated his transition into media. He is currently engaged in a lawsuit against the NFL, alleging that the league selectively leaked emails to force his resignation. The leaked emails were part of a broader investigation into workplace culture at the Washington Commanders and included numerous offensive remarks made by Gruden. This new venture with Barstool could be a stepping stone for Gruden as he seeks to re-enter the coaching ranks.
