Jon Gruden: I’m working hard to get one more shot at coaching

[Street Knowledge]

Former Buccaneers and Raiders head coach Jon Gruden hopes his abrupt resignation in 2021 amid the release of offensive emails wasn’t the end of his coaching career.

Gruden, who is at Lions camp this week, told reporters he’s eager to get back into coaching and hoping someone will hire him.

“Hopefully I’m not done,” Gruden said, via Dave Birkett of 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 cause I’m looking for a job.”

Gruden does consulting work for NFL teams but says he really wants to be a coach again.

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

Gruden, who will turn 62 next month, has a career record of 117-112 in the regular season and 5-4 in the postseason, and his 2002 Buccaneers won the Super Bowl.

He'll probably get work unfortunately considering the political climate and the fact that he's managed to rehab his public standing in the eyes of white America by ingratiating himself with that Barstool dude-bro audience

They see that racist bullshyt he wrote in those emails as a badge of honor and merit.

Still wont forget how they were shaping up to just fine or suspend him for the racist shyt but only axed him once the second batch of emails with the homophobic stuff dropped, just another day in the NNFL

When he does get another gig I'll be happily rooting for him to go 0-17

If he’s allowed back he actually was right about one thing that Goodell is a clues less anti football fakkit

So please, don’t let him be right Goodell

Gruden is highly respected in nfl circles but they’ll never hire him officially again

I forgot he's 62. He was a young head coach.

He should just enjoy the podcast world and private contracting.

It’s not like he was a great head coach anyway.

With so many assistants and coordinators in the league waiting for their shot, why hire a racist mediocre coach? Why take on that baggage?

All this talk about this Spider 2 Y banana dude but nobody says anything about his brother who hasn't been seen since trolling for college chicks when he was in Washington

I'm surprised a college team hasn't picked him up.

Why would they? Nobody gives a damn about his brother. I forgot he even had a brother until you mentioned him.
