Raiders DE Maxx Crosby Has Bold Jon Gruden Prediction<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jon Gruden took nine years off from coaching after getting fired by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2009, only to return to the Las Vegas Raiders in 2018. He only lasted a little more than three seasons before he had to go on hiatus due to the email controversy that led to his resignation.<\/p>\n

Gruden has slowly made his way back into the public eye. He’s been working with Barstool Sports and was recently at a Baltimore Ravens practice as a guest of head coach John Harbaugh. Although his second tenure with the Raiders was unsuccessful, many believe he’ll get another chance to coach.<\/p>\n

Star defensive end Maxx Crosby, who Gruden drafted in 2019, believes that we’ll see him coaching again at some point.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe dude is addicted to football, that\u2019s all he does, and I think he will get another opportunity, whether it\u2019s college or being a head coach somewhere or coming back to the league and doing it at some point,\u201d Crosby said on the “Glory Daze with Johnny Manziel” podcast<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gruden has expressed interest in returning to coaching, but there’s also no rush. He likely still made much of the remaining 10-year, $100 million contract he previously signed with the Raiders. Plus, he makes a lot of money with Barstool.<\/p>\n

However, he was also handsomely paid for his job at ESPN, and eventually chose a return to football. Eventually, the call to return will be strong, and there will likely be at least one team out there willing to give him another chance.<\/p>\n
