Jon Gruden was fired from the Las Vegas Raiders for sending emails that allegedly contained misogynistic, racist and homophobic slurs. However, he's done well for himself since then with his media appearances and his YouTube channel.
The NFL world was rife with speculation that he would be returning to the NFL as head coach, with some even saying as of the Raiders. However, he has found a new gig that should keep him busy.
On Tuesday, Adam Schefter shared on X (formerly, Twitter) that the former Buccanneers and Raiders coach had joined the media company Barstool Sports.

Jon Gruden to the New York Jets?
With the Jets firing their head coach Robert Saleh and interim HS Jeff Ulbrich struggling to turn around the team's fortunes, Jon Gruden has become a frontrunner for the Jets HC role.
"I've been hearing Jon Gruden is a serious candidate to coach the Jets, maybe be President of football operations. He has close ties with the Jets, he's got close ties with Woody," Frankie V of the New York Post said.
Boomer Esiason echoed the same thoughts and said it was highly likely Gruden would join the Jets as their new head coach. He said Gruden brought the kind of personality, legitimacy and credibility that the Jets searched for in a head coach.
But with Gruden's new job, will he truly return to the NFL?
