Jon Gruden, a well-known football coach, has a strong desire to return to the field, but he is not willing to take just any job. Recently, he turned down an offer from the New York Jets to join their coaching staff. This decision comes after his controversial exit from the Las Vegas Raiders due to offensive emails he sent.
Gruden's potential role with the Jets was not specified, but he would have brought a wealth of experience to the team. The Jets have had a tough season, with a record of 3-14 and several notable losses. They also made some big trades, sending key players like Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams to other teams for future draft picks.
The Jets have been going through a lot of changes, with many of their coaching staff leaving after just one season. This includes both their offensive and defensive coordinators. The team also had three different quarterbacks start games this season, which shows how much instability there has been.
Gruden has been busy since leaving the Raiders. He joined Barstool Sports and has been working with young quarterbacks through his "Gruden's QB Camp. " He has also been involved in a legal battle with the NFL, suing them over the leak of his offensive emails. Recently, he won a key ruling that allows his case to proceed in court.
Despite his eagerness to coach again, Gruden seems to be picky about where he ends up. He has mentioned that he would even coach at a high school if necessary. For now, he is focusing on his private coaching assignments and enjoying his time away from the spotlight.
