According to recent news articles, Jon Gruden has been involved in the NFL in various capacities since his resignation as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021. Here are some of the things he has been doing:
-
Lawsuit against the NFL: In July 2023, it was reported that Gruden was suing the NFL and intended "to burn the [NFLs] house down" in revenge for what he called a "massive hit job" that forced him out of his coaching job.
-
Consultant for the New Orleans Saints: In May 2023, Gruden reportedly flew to New Orleans to help his former quarterback Derek Carr transition to the offense he'll be running with the Saints. Since the Saints and Raiders have many similar offensive concepts, the Saints figured it would make sense to bring in Gruden to help Carr with the transition.
-
Presence at Saints' training camp: In August 2023, Gruden was seen at the Saints' training camp, and head coach Dennis Allen explained that Gruden was there to help the team in a consulting role.
-
Assumed a new role as a consultant: In May 2023, Gruden assumed a new role as a consultant for an unnamed NFL team, according to a report by WI Sports Heroics. The report did not provide further details about the team or Gruden's role.
In summary, Jon Gruden has been involved in the NFL as a consultant and in a lawsuit against the league since his resignation as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021.
