In 2021, the NFL world was taken by storm when legendary coach Jon Gruden was disgracefully removed after news of his troublesome past hit the internet. Gruden, the youngest coach to win a Super Bowl, was removed from his post as the head coach of Las Vegas Raiders, a team that he once defeated to win his first and only Super Bowl. But, finally, it seems he is back in the league again.
Now, two years after news of Gruden exiting the league, the 59-year-old coach is paving his way back into the NFL landscape. Only, this time, he will not return to the Tom Brady-owned Las Vegas Raiders. He will instead re-unite, with a QB he once coached in a Raiders uniform.
