Gruden resigned from the Raiders after the emails were leaked
last year, and he eventually sued the NFL claiming that it
targeted him by releasing said emails.
But Tuesday was a different story, as Gruden asked for
forgiveness and said that he hoped for a second chance.
"I'm ashamed about what has come about in these emails, and I'll
make no excuses for it. It's shameful. But, I am a good person.
I believe that," Gruden said. "I've made some mistakes, but I
don't think anybody in here hasn't. And I just ask for
forgiveness, and hopefully I get another shot."
Gruden, 59, landed his first head coaching job with the Raiders
in 1998 and spent four seasons there before coaching the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers from 2002-08. The Bucs won the Super Bowl in his
first season there.
He then stepped away from coaching and worked for ESPN as a
color analyst before his second stint with the Raiders, which
lasted from 2018-21.
Gruden owns a 117-112 regular-season record and has led his
teams to a 5-4 mark in the postseason.
