Jon Gruden, the former NFL coach, is re-entering the professional football scene by becoming a part-owner of the Nashville Kats in the Arena Football One League. He will take on consulting and advisory responsibilities regarding the team's football and business aspects. Gruden, who has been away from official NFL roles since resigning in 2021 due to controversy over past emails, expressed excitement about working with longtime friend and Kats president Jeff Fisher. Gruden's history in the AFL includes family connections; his brother Jay has significantly contributed to the league before moving to the NFL.
"I have been a fan of indoor football for a long time and jumped at the opportunity to be involved with Jeff and the Nashville Kats as part of the ownership group."
"Gruden filed a lawsuit against the NFL, claiming contract interference and conspiracy, which resulted in a Nevada Supreme Court ruling siding with the NFL on arbitration."
