Former NFL head coach and ESPN analyst Jon Gruden has joined Barstool Sports, the company announced Thursday.
In its announcement, the company posted one video on its website where Gruden was breaking down a play called "Spider Y 2 Banana" to other Barstool employees but did not specify Gruden's role.
Gruden was in his second stint as the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021 and in the fourth year of a reported $100 million contract when he resigned after it was reported that he wrote emails over a decade that had homophobic, racist, and misogynistic language in them.
When he wrote those emails to former Commanders team president Bruce Allen, Gruden was the lead analyst for Monday Night Football on ESPN, which included comments about former NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
Those emails were part of the league's investigation of former Commanders owner Daniel Snyder and allegations of the team's workplace culture.

A month after he resigned from the Raiders, Gruden, now 61, sued the NFL over the publication of those emails, saying that the league was on a "malicious and orchestrated campaign" to ruin his career.
The league called the lawsuit "entirely meritless," and last month, the Nevada Supreme Court said they would conduct a review of the lawsuit.
