Jon Gruden has resigned as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. This follows a report from an email from 2011 where Gruden made a racist comment about NFLPA Executive Director DeMaurice Smith. Raiders owner Mark Davis reportedly met with Gruden and was informed of the decision. Rich Bisaccia will serve as interim coach effective immediately. In a statement, Gruden said he loves the Raiders and that he wishes to not be a “distraction” to the franchise. Gruden also apologized in his statement and said he never “meant to hurt anyone.”
