Jon Gruden isn’t giving up on coaching.

After a hiatus from coaching stemming from the infamous release of controversial emails that led to his resignation as Raiders head coach in 2021, Gruden is once again eyeing a return to the NFL.

Despite his absence, he would re-emerge in the public eye in 2024 through his YouTube channel, where he created compelling football content that helped him rehabilitate his image.

He then made a shocking move by joining Barstool Sports and quickly became a social media star and one of their most popular personalities.

His plans are to ultimately make it back to the sidelines.

“Hopefully I’m not done,” Gruden told reporters while attending Detroit Lions training camp, per the Detroit Free Press.

 

“I’m about to make a comeback. I’m working hard to maybe get one more shot, but hopefully some of these guys that fell off my branch, if you say it that way, maybe they can hire me because I’m looking for a job.”

When asked about his chances of returning to the NFL, Jon Gruden said he doesn’t “care about that.”

“I don’t care if I coach at Jones Junior High,” he continued.

“I’m going to coach again. I’m still coaching. I’m just not on a team officially, but I do have some private assignments I work on, and I wear some gear when I’m watching the games that nobody knows about who I’m pulling for.”

It’s unclear if he will ever get another official coaching job in the NFL. He is 117-112 with a Super Bowl title.

What Got Jon Gruden out Of The NFL

Gruden is trying to come back.

He has been out of the league since resigning from the Las Vegas Raisers in 2021 following the leaking of emails that showed him using homophobic and racist language that he sent to then-Washington general manager Brad Allen.

Since then, he has been seen with the New Orleans Saints helping to consult Derek Carr when he was the team’s quarterback. He was also reinstated to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Ring of Honor.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
