The Raiders fired Gruden, then a head coach, in 2021, after emails were leaked showing that he was using language that could be considered racist. Recently, he’s been making consistent appearances in the media, including a spot on Barstool Sports’ “Pardon My Take” in October.
It’s not currently known what Gruden’s exact role will be.
