Jon Gruden was fired (he resigned) as the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders due to the public revelation of emails in which he used homophobic, misogynistic, and racist language. These emails, sent over several years while he was an ESPN analyst and before he rejoined the Raiders in 2018, included derogatory comments about NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, criticism of the drafting of a gay player, disdain for players protesting during the national anthem, and offensive remarks about women officials and others. The exposure of these emails caused significant backlash, leading Gruden to resign from his coaching position to avoid being a distraction to the team. The Raiders accepted his resignation promptly, appointing an interim coach afterward.
