Jon Gruden resigns after report of anti-gay, misogynist emails

Jon Gruden announced his resignation as Las Vegas Raiders head coach on Monday shortly after a report that he repeatedly used anti-gay and misogynistic language over email.

“I have resigned as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders," Gruden said in a statement. "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. I’m sorry, I never meant to hurt anyone.”

Raiders owner Mark Davis later confirmed Gruden's resignation.

Assistant head coach Rich Bisaccia is expected to take over the job in the interim, per multiple reports.
