Oh yeah. This is a guy who would fit in great in the Ohio University and Athens communities, as a leader of young people and an example for them, and as the highest-paid university employee.
What Did Jon Gruden Say? Raiders Coach Resigns Over Offensive Emails
Gruden's resignation came after The New York Times reported on offensive emails he sent Bruce Allen, the former president of the Washington Football Team, during his time as an ESPN analyst.
The report found that the coach often used derogatory misogynistic and homophobic language.
The situation escalated on Friday when the Wall Street Journal reported that Gruden used racist language to describe NFL union chief DeMaurice Smith in a 2011 email to former Washington executive Bruce Allen.
A workplace misconduct investigation into the Washington Football Team is what led to the discovery of the offensive emails.
Some of the harmful content in the emails written by Gruden include him calling NFL commissioner Roger Goodell a "f*****" and also a "clueless anti-football pussy."
It is reported that he used that same homophobic slur several times when referring to Goodell.
In another email, Gruden referred to the openly gay Michael Sam as "a queer."
He also used a racist term to describe NFL union chief DeMaurice Smith in a 2011 email to former Washington executive Bruce Allen.
One email saw Gruden refer to then Vice-President Joe Biden as a "nervous clueless pussy" while exchanging photos of topless women.
He also criticized player Eric Reid for taking a knee during the national anthem and said he should be fired for doing so.
