Jon Gruden wants to ‘burn the house down,’ won’t settle NFL lawsuit

Figuring out who actually leaked a series of misogynistic, racist and anti-LGBTQ+ emails that ultimately led to his firing as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders is a web Jon Gruden has been trying to unweave for the better part of 18 months.

Embattled in a lawsuit against the NFL and its commissioner Roger Goodell, which he filed in 2021, Gruden has won all of his court motions against the league as he fights tooth and nail to prove Goodell executed a hit job against him that cost him his career as a coach and other “future employment prospects and endorsement opportunities.”
