Ex-Raiders HC Jon Gruden Reveals Plan to Return to Coaching originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Oakland Raiders hired Jon Gruden before the 2018 NFL season for his second stint with the franchise. He led the team through their transition to Las Vegas before abruptly being fired in 2021.

Jon Gruden isn’t giving up on coaching. After a hiatus from coaching stemming from the infamous release of controversial emails that led to his resignation as Raiders head coach in 2021, Gruden is once again eyeing a return to the NFL.

Gruden attended Lions camp to support new Detroit offensive coordinator John Morton, whose first coaching job came as an assistant under Gruden with the Oakland Raiders in the late 1990s. He later worked for Gruden again during his second stint leading the Raiders in Oakland and later Las Vegas, before his resignation.
