LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Chucky is back.

Former Raiders coach Jon Gruden, 61, who was the Raiders’ coach when the Silver & Black moved to Las Vegas in 2020, has made a new career move to join Barstool Sports.

A little more than three years ago, Gruden resigned after his private emails surfaced that were racist and homophobic in nature.

Gruden sued the NFL, alleging the league leaked the emails in a move to force the Raiders’ two-time coach to resign. The NFL denied the allegations and argued the case should be arbitrated.

Gruden’s deal with Barstool is a multi-year agreement, several media reports said.
