Jon Gruden could return to the NFL soon.

Jon Gruden hasn’t coached in the NFL since 2021, when he resigned from the Las Vegas Raiders after Week 5. The 62-year-old has been mentioned as a potential head coach candidate for several teams in the last couple of months.

He was named a potential option to replace Brian Daboll on the New York Giants, more so after he praised rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart. He could end up going to New York, but with a different team. Evan Roberts predicted during Wednesday’s edition of WFAN’s Evan & Tiki that when Aaron Glenn gets fired, Jon Gruden will replace him on the Jets.

“When Aaron Glenn gets fired, and he will, Jon Gruden will be the next head coach of the New York Jets,” Roberts said.

“It’s obvious because Woody Johnson made that phone call. If Woody Johnson shows you he’s comfortable with getting into business with Gruden, that tells you all you need to know. Let’s save the drama, let’s save the time, the next head coach of the Jets is Jon Gruden.”

It might take some time for Gruden to change his mind, however. Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reported on Tuesday that the Jets contacted Gruden with this idea. He wasn’t interested in the job.


Aaron Glenn’s first season with Gang Green didn’t go as expected. After a 0-7 start, the season was pretty much over for the AFC East team. The Justin Fields experiment didn’t work out, and they will likely move to a different quarterback in the offseason.

The offseason was off to a rough start for many coaches. Glenn has fired multiple assistant coaches (eight at the time of writing), which many think puts him in a complex position.

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 rebounds6 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.
