The NFL has seen its first head coaching change of the season, and it is coming on the heels of a scandal: Jon Gruden, who has led the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders since 2018, resigned on Monday after a series of offense emails emerged.
The Raiders shared the following statement on behalf of Gruden on Monday afternoon, after initial reports broke that he would step down from his position:
I have resigned as Head Coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. I love the Raiders and do not want to be a distraction. Thank you to all the players, coaches, staff, and fans of Raider Nation.
