This is actually good for the Raiders.  They can now get a good NFL HC.  

No way Gruden was going to last that 10 year contract. 

Can they??? Because the last time.they were any good was with gruden lol.

There's a lot more to it than initially thought.  With that being said, I'd love to see Gruden say F it and take everyone down with him.  If people think he's the only coach who thinks that way, talks that way and reacts that way wellll....I hate to spoil it for you.  

I bet he has a ton of dirt on Goodell that he could blow it up.

What did he even say? I haven't bothered to look because I just thought it was just more nonsense. Sounds serious

Said something about a black man's big lips or something along those lines in a email in 2011. 

Gruden out in Las Vegas.  Wow.

Can someone find some dirt on Howie?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just joking

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or am I

There is a rumor it was Howie's idea to keep Riley Cooper after he used the N word.  Is that enough to cancel Howie?

Ohh well, to be fair I doubt his views changed all.of a sudden.

More than that apparently.

Rip him all you want but he was a willing and excellent blocker. Not what you draft a WR for, but he has done what he can. Not his fault where he was drafted or who coached him.

That was a compliment (though backhanded)... but JJAW has been a bust by any standard.  That's not a shot at him, it's a shot at Howie.

Disgusting that Gruden was fired for that.

 

That throws that team in chaos when they were one of the better teams in the league this year.  Suddenly a very winnable game coming off 10 days rest.

It’s likely Howie has something on Lurie.

Yes lol. They are terrible.at finding coaches

Is it OK if I say Mick Jagger or Steven Tyler have lips as big as Michelin tires?

Frank Caliendo's Gruden character is also is a casualty of the emails.

Maybe not Gruden. But I've always been hesitant to fire someone for something they posted 10 plus years ago. Especially from teen years. People change. And what does taking someone's job accomplish? Now you've made a hateful person for life. Like I said Gruden situation little different.

Can you read?   He should have never been hired.  Question the NFL’s motives for getting this out now.  But not the decision to oust him.  
 

JFC. How can you be so consistently wrong?

Probably shouldn't feed the troll.  At least I hope that's what he's doing. 

Lmao

I never cared about him, just the bad process that led to the Eagles losing him. I’m aware he’s in all likelihood a JAG. 

Yes, but around the Eagles, JAGs can go on to legendary status.

I mean he has an openly gay player on your team. He seemed to be pretty hateful towards them.

A lot of people might disagree. But Id feel really fortunate as a team with that crap going on to have it timed so perfectly that a free agent coach like Pederson is available. I can see him doing very well with that roster. 

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/10/11/report-more-jon-gruden-emails-reveal-homophobic-misogynistic-comments/

It’s suddenly getting a lot worse for Raiders coach Jon Gruden.

The selective leaks of emails sent by Gruden to former Washington executive Bruce Allen has expanded to include emails leaked to the New York Times on Monday.

 

Per the report, Gruden in the emails called Commissioner Roger Goodell a "f—-t” and a "clueless antifootball ****.” Gruden also said that Goodell should not have pressured former Rams coach Jeff Fisher to draft "queers,” in reference to Michael Sam, a seventh-round pick of the team in 2014.

Meanwhile, an openly gay player, Carl Nassib, currently plays for Gruden.

Gruden also reportedly used "offensive language to describe some owners, coaches and journalists who cover the league.”

As explained in the article, "Allen and Gruden appeared to have few boundaries in expressing homophobic and transphobic language.” They mocked Buccaneers owner Bryan Glazer. They mocked Caitlyn Jenner. They criticized efforts to change the name of the Washington franchise. Gruden commented, "Nice job roger” in response to a sexist meme of a female referee.

As of last night, some in the league office believed Gruden would not be suspended for comments made at a time when he was not employed by any NFL team. It’s unclear whether those persons were aware of these additional emails. (I also have another theory on this, which I’ll explain in a later post.)

On Monday night, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the league sent more emails on Monday to the Raiders, and that the league is basically waiting for the Raiders to decide how to handle the situation. It ultimately could be that, while the league may not be able to suspend Gruden under the Personal Conduct Policy, the league will try to nudge the Raiders to fire him.

Gruden, who has repeatedly insisted that he has no racist bone, may now claim that he has no homophobic bone, no transphobic bone, and no sexist bone, either. At a certain point, the no-bone approach isn’t going to fly.

Based on the emails that surfaced on Monday night, that time may be now. If Gruden doesn’t choose to walk away in the aftermath of these disclosures, Davis very well could choose to terminate Gruden’s employment, sooner than later. It feels like the NFL is trying to get Davis to handle the situation, because the league fears that, legally, there’s nothing it can really do.
