Jon Gruden
He was the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2003 Super Bowl Champion team
In his first season with the Buccaneers, Gruden led the team to their first Super Bowl victory in Super Bowl XXXVII, defeating his former team, the Raiders. At just 39 years old, Gruden became the youngest head coach to win a Super Bowl at the time. His tenure with Tampa Bay lasted until 2008, during which he set the franchise record for wins. However, despite his early success, Gruden's Buccaneers teams only made two more playoff appearances before he was dismissed from the role. After his departure from coaching, Gruden transitioned to a successful career as an analyst for ESPN's Monday Night Football from 2009 to 2017.
In 2018, Gruden made a highly anticipated return to the Raiders, who had since relocated to Las Vegas. His second stint as head coach, however, was marred by controversy. In 2021, Gruden resigned from his position after the public release of emails he had sent between 2011 and 2018 containing racist, misogynistic, and homophobic language. The fallout from the scandal led to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers removing him from their Ring of Honor. Despite the controversy, Gruden remains a significant figure in NFL history, particularly for his Super Bowl win and his impact on the Raiders and Buccaneers franchises.
In 2023, Gruden was brought in by the New Orleans Saints for a workout to assist with their offensive coaching, signaling that his expertise in football is still valued despite the controversies surrounding his career. His legacy in the NFL is a complex one, marked by both significant achievements and personal missteps. Gruden's influence on the game, particularly his role in leading the Buccaneers to their first Super Bowl title, ensures that he will remain a notable figure in the sport for years to come.
