Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis said Monday that he believes Jon Gruden's resignation in 2021 set the organization back several years.
While discussing Tom Brady's new role, Raiders owner Mark Davis said former coach Jon Gruden had his "head chopped off" following scandal.

The Raiders were 4-13 this season and, with Brady helping to oversee things, fired head coach Antonio Pierce, then hired new general manager John Spytek and new head coach Pete Carroll.
Perhaps the only one at the news conference who matched his enthusiasm was former running back Marshawn Lynch, who screamed “Raaiiidddeeerrrsss!” when Carroll said he wanted Allegiant Stadium to be filled with fans of the home team. Opposing fans often make it feel like a neutral or away game for the Raiders.
The Raiders' new coach — and GM John Spytek — expressed plenty of optimism about their new roles with the team Monday in Las Vegas.
Raiders coach Pete Carroll was fired up at his introductory news conference Monday, but he faces a tall task in trying to turn the team around.
Tom Brady has been approved for a minority stake in the Las Vegas Raiders, joining the team under the ownership of Mark Davis. Davis pursued Brady's involvement to bring stability and leadership following Jon Gruden's resignation in 2021 due to controversial emails.
For Raiders star defensive end Maxx Crosby, the 2024 season was one of utter frustration. Not only did the Raiders come up far short of expectations with their 4-13 record, but Crosby was hit with an injury to his ankle that forced him to miss the first game of his career, and ended his season in Week 14.
Carroll's energy is known and obvious, but he cranked it up a notch while taking on the challenge of coaching the Las Vegas Raiders.
The Las Vegas Raiders are bringing back Patrick Graham as defensive coordinator, according to a league source.
