Former NFL coach Jon Gruden has landed a surprising new job.

According to Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy, the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Las Vegas Raiders head coach has signed a multi-year deal with the company.

Portnoy posted the video below to social media, which shows the 61-year-old taking over a whiteboard session and asking a class including the likes of Portnoy and Big Cat whether they want to “learn some football” after explaining a play.

Jon Gruden’s NFL career has been marred by controversy. He was forced to resign as the head coach of the Raiders in 2021 after leaked emails from 2011 to 2018 exposed him for using homophobic, racist, and misogynistic rhetoric.

The emails were discovered during an NFL investigation into the Washington Commanders

Gruden has stuck around the game, having been involved in several roles since leaving coaching, including consultancy. He recently appeared as a guest at a Bucs game, which suggests a mending of fences between the parties.

The Super Bowl-winning coach signed one of the richest contracts in NFL history at the time when he returned to the Raiders in 2018, securing a 10-year deal worth $100 million.

Fans will probably be curious to learn the figure he’s set to make at his new job.
