Jon Gruden was pressured to resign as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders greater than two years in the past, however one reporter lately floated risk of a workforce having curiosity in Gruden this offseason. That workforce is the Las Vegas Raiders.
Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Evaluation-Journal lately put collectively an inventory of eight possible candidates to become the next head coach of the Raiders. Whereas it might sound ludicrous, Gruden made the checklist.
Gruden stepped down through the 2021 season after emails were leaked that featured him using racist and homophobic language. He additionally had unfavourable issues to say about NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in a few of the emails. The 60-year-old has since filed a lawsuit against the NFL, alleging individuals with the league deliberately leaked the emails in an effort to drive him out.
In keeping with Bonsignore, there are individuals across the NFL who imagine there’s a probability the league may enable the Raiders to rehire Gruden if Gruden agreed to drop his lawsuit.
The NFL needs Gruden’s lawsuit to be dealt with by means of arbitration somewhat than in a public courtroom. Public litigation would result in discovery, which means Gruden and the general public may acquire entry to supplies obtained as a part of the investigation into office misconduct with the Washington Commanders. Gruden’s emails leaked as a part of that probe. The NFL has persistently refused to publicize the detailed findings of that investigation.
A listening to is scheduled for Jan. 10 in Nevada Supreme Court to find out whether or not Gruden’s lawsuit needs to be despatched to arbitration. If the three-judge panel guidelines in favor of Gruden, the NFL could also be much more motivated to settle somewhat than threat having to air its soiled laundry in public.
Gruden has largely remained out of the general public eye since he resigned. He has been linked to some other jobs, however he’s in all probability ready to see how his lawsuit seems earlier than making any profession strikes.
