Jon Gruden is unlikely to ever coach in the NFL again, so the next best option would be to take his talents to the NFL.

When Gruden originally signed on to coach the Raiders back in 2018, the long-time NFL coach signed a huge 10-year deal that was scheduled to pay him nearly $100 million.

Unfortunately for him, he would be forced to resign in 2021 following reports that emails he wrote over a 10-year period included racist, misogynistic, and anti-gay language.

He spent the 2023 season as a consultant for the New Orleans Saints, but wasn’t brought back for 2024. In 2025, he shocked everyone when he joined Jeff Fisher for the ownership group of the Nashville Kats.

Now, his services might be needed in college.

Jon Gruden Could Be Headed To Florida

The University of Florida announced on Sunday that head coach Billy Napier was fired following a 3-4 start to the season.

It has been a season full of mishaps, including Gators assistant coach Jabbar Juluke’s suspension for his involvement in an altercation before Florida’s 20-10 Week 3 loss to LSU.

Napier went 22-23 in three-plus years with Florida. The Gators have not had a season with double-digit wins since 2019.

The Gators are heading into their bye week, which is likely the reason for the move’s timing.

Now, Jon Gruden’s name is being tossed around as a possible replacement. Former Gators head coach Steve Spurrier is linking him there.

“They’re throwing Lane’s name out there a lot, and he’d be good here. Look at what he’s done at Ole Miss… Drinkwitz is another one, even Gruden. There are several others, but Lane is being mentioned more than other guys it seems like,” Spurrier told Chris Low of On3 Sports.

Gruden previously visited Georgia this past summer and openly spoke about how much much he would love to coach in the SEC.

Aside from Jon Gruden, there is also talks of the Florida Gators possibly going after Lane Kiffin.

Despite recent reports, there’s buzz surrounding the Ole Miss administration’s preparation to give Kiffin a new deal.

Luka Doncic ‘destroys’ the Mavs on his return. Gets standing ovation and shows love to Mark Cuban

Luka Doncic hits 45 points in his first game in Dallas since being traded to the Los Angeles.

It’s rare for a home crowd to cheer the visiting team, but Luka Doncic’s return to Dallas was no ordinary night.

Just days before February’s trade deadline, the Mavericks shocked the NBA by sending their 26-year-old superstar to the Lakers—a move that outraged fans and sparked backlash toward GM Nico Harrison.

On Wednesday, Doncic played his first game back in Dallas since the trade. The arena was filled with fans in both his old Mavs and new Lakers jerseys, many chanting “Fire Nico” in protest.

Despite the emotion in the air, Doncic delivered a dominant performance, scoring a game-high 45 points to lead the Lakers to a 112-97 win. It was a powerful return for one of the league’s brightest stars—and a night Dallas won’t soon forget

The Mavericks pay tribute to Luka Dončić

While the Mavericks’ decision to trade Luka Doncic remains heavily criticized, they handled his return to Dallas with undeniable grace. The organization made sure his first game back as a Laker was met with respect and appreciation.

Every seat in the arena was draped with a T-shirt reading “Hvala za vse,” which translates from Slovenian to “thank you for everything.” It was a thoughtful nod to Doncic’s heritage and impact on the franchise.

Before tip-off, during the starting lineup announcements, the Mavericks played a tribute video showcasing some of Doncic’s most iconic moments in a Dallas jersey. The emotional gesture clearly resonated—moving Doncic to tears in front of the crowd that once called him their own.

Luka Doncic ‘DESTROYS’ his old team

Luka delivered a dazzling performance against his former team, putting up 45 points on 16-of-28 shooting, including 7-of-10 from beyond the arc. He also added 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals in a game that showed exactly why he’s one of the best in the league.

From the opening tip, Doncic was locked in. By halftime, Doncic had racked up 31 points on 11-of-16 shooting in just 19 minutes—marking the 10th time in his career he’s scored 30 or more in a single half.

Though his scoring slowed in the second half, he continued to lead effectively, securing both a Lakers win and an unforgettable showing for the fans in Dallas.
