The Chargers head coach has used the Jon Gruden situation as a chance to reflect on his job as a coach and leader of a diverse group of men.
The Raiders have a new interim head coach in Rich Bisaccia after Jon Gruden was forced to resign in disgrace after emails were revealed from 2011 in which he used racist, homophobic, and misogynistic language repeatedly.
