“I have resigned as Head Coach of the Las Vegas Raiders,” he said on Twitter in a statement issued by the team. His resignation was a striking departure from the football league for a coach who had won a Super Bowl, been a marquee analyst on ESPN and returned to the NFL in 2018 to lead the resurgent Raiders, which he had coached years before. The emails between the two and other men included photos of women wearing only bikini bottoms, including one photo of two Washington team cheerleaders.Jon Gruden stepped down Monday as the coach of the Las Vegas Raiders football team hours after The New York Times detailed emails in which he had made homophobic and misogynistic remarks, following an earlier report of racist statements about a union leader. Gruden and Allen have a long relationship, having worked together in Oakland and Tampa Bay. The NFL sent pertinent emails to the Raiders for review. Senior league executives reviewed the content of more than 650,000 emails, including ones between Gruden and Allen.

Gruden's emails came to light during the NFL's investigation of workplace misconduct with the Washington Football Team, as "the league was informed of the existence of emails that raised issues beyond the scope of that investigation," according to NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy. But the additional emails sent between 20 show his use of derogatory language went well beyond that. Gruden, who had given his players a heads-up Friday morning that the Journal's report would be coming out, apologized for his "insensitive remarks'' about Smith, saying they were made out of frustration over the 2011 lockout and not trusting the direction the union was taking. The Wall Street Journal reported Friday afternoon that one of Gruden's emails from 2011 included a racist comment in reference to Smith. "The comments are clearly repugnant under any circumstance," ESPN said in a statement. Gruden was employed by ESPN as the lead analyst for Monday Night Football at the time he sent the emails now under review. "He needs to hide in his concussion protocol tent,'' Gruden wrote. The newspaper said Gruden also mocked an article in 2017 about players calling on Goodell to support their efforts promoting racial equality and criminal justice reform. The paper also reported that Gruden criticized Goodell and the NFL for trying to reduce concussions, and said that Eric Reid, a player who had demonstrated during the playing of the national anthem by taking a knee, should be fired.

In a 2017 email, the Times said Gruden responded to a sexist meme of a female official by saying: "Nice job roger.'' Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib came out as gay in June and is the first openly gay player to appear in an NFL game.

The Times reported that Gruden used an anti-gay slur in several instances to insult NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and said he was "clueless'' and "anti-football.'' He also said Goodell shouldn't have pressured the Rams to draft "queers,'' a reference to Michael Sam, who was the first openly gay player drafted by an NFL team in 2014. According to The Times, Gruden sent emails to Bruce Allen, then the president of the Washington Football Team, and others during a seven-year period that began in 2011.
