TAMPA, Fla. \u2014 The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reversed course on a decision made nearly four years ago, stating that former coach Jon Gruden will be reinstated into the team’s Ring of Honor.<\/p>\n

Gruden coached the Bucs for seven years from 2002-08, leading the team to its first Super Bowl win. He was initially placed in the Ring of Honor in 2017.<\/p>\n

In 2021, Gruden resigned as Las Vegas Raiders coach after emails he sent before being hired in 2018 contained racist, homophobic and misogynistic comments.<\/p>\n

The Bucs followed by removing Gruden from the Ring of Honor<\/a>\u00a0but said Thursday that he would be added back.<\/p>\n

Between his coaching stints with the Bucs and Raiders, Gruden spent many years working in television.<\/p>\n

\u201cJon Gruden was initially inducted into the Buccaneers Ring of Honor based on his many accomplishments during his seven seasons as our head coach, and he remains a significant figure in the history of our franchise,\u201d the team said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon further reflection, we have decided to reinstate him into the Buccaneers Ring of Honor.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TAMPA, Fla. \u2014 The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have reversed course on a decision made nearly four years ago,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":190910,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2077],"tags":[12606,1615,1613,211,380,20252,7,88,6,10738,11374,1614,9,266,209,704,250,15556,2597,2596,1004],"class_list":{"0":"post-190909","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tampa-bay-buccaneers","8":"tag-app-professional-sports","9":"tag-app-sports","10":"tag-app-top-stories","11":"tag-buccaneers","12":"tag-florida","13":"tag-florida-sports","14":"tag-football","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-orlando","18":"tag-professional-football","19":"tag-spectrum-news-staff","20":"tag-sports","21":"tag-sports-news","22":"tag-tampa","23":"tag-tampa-bay","24":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","25":"tag-tampa-bay-bucs","26":"tag-tampabay","27":"tag-tampabaybuccaneers","28":"tag-top-stories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114817688369799573","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190909","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=190909"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/190909\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/190910"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=190909"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=190909"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=190909"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
