What's next for the Raiders?
With Jon Gruden resigning, what's next for the Las Vegas Raiders?
Jon Gruden is out as Raiders head coach after multiple emails were leaked over the weekend. During the NFL's investigation on the Washington Football Team's workplace culture, they investigated over 650,000 emails. They found multiple emails from Gruden using homophobic, racist, and misogynistic remarks about multiple people around the league.
Jon Gruden’s emails are further & final proof for the necessity of minority voices in positions of power.

In 2011, Gruden was a homophobic racially insensitive pervert. He was also the face of #MNF on ESPN, speaking to an audience of 13.3 million people weekly. pic.twitter.com/9rpZTVBPBj
Jon Gruden, the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders, in 2011 used racist terms to denounce DeMaurice Smith, the executive director of the NFL Players Association, who is Black and is now facing opposition within the union to the extension of his contract.https://t.co/5KQM5yvX2Q

After signing a 10-year, $100 million deal, he's done after year three. What an absolute botch this deal was. At the time, I had no issues with the Raiders bringing in Gruden. It was just ridiculous that any head coach would receive a 10-year deal, considering head coaches in the NFL drop like flies.
What's next for the Raiders? As of now, Special Teams Coordinator, Rich Bisaccia will be the interim head coach. With a shiny new stadium in a new city, I'm sure Mark Davis is going to make a splash hire in the offseason. How do you move to Vegas and not make a big-time hire after all that went down? Plus, Mark Davis runs this team like a six-year-old who plays Madden.
Some big, necessary changes are coming to Vegas. With a new head coach coming in with a solid roster, maybe they can finally get over the hump.
