Former NFL head coach Jon Gruden is back.
But he’s not returning to the sideline. Instead, he’s headed behind the camera for a massive amount of money.
The former head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and then-Oakland Raiders has inked a multi-year contract with media giant Barstool Sports, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

It’s not currently known what Gruden’s exact role will be.
Gruden has been making consistent appearances in the media, including a spot on Barstool Sports’ “Pardon My Take” in October.
The Raiders fired Gruden in 2021, after emails were leaked showing that he was using language that could be considered racist.
