Jon Gruden is back. Sort of.
The founding member of the FFCA has become a part owner of Arena Football One’s Nashville Kats.
The Kats are owned by Fisher Football Ventures LLC. Former Oilers/Titans and Rams coach Jeff Fisher is the Commissioner of AF1.
Per the press release, Gruden “will be a Partner with consulting and advisory roles in all aspects of the team’s football and business operations.”
Arena Football One launched in 2025, after a sputtered effort to revive the Arena Football League in 2024. It has eight teams with multiple dormant franchises that could join the league in the future.
