Jon Gruden is back in the broadcast booth.
The former NFL head coach and "Monday Night Football" **** yst became a fan favorite for quirky personality and unapologetic love of football. While Gruden is no longer on the sidelines, he did make a one night cameo appearance in the broadcast booth for a Tampa Bay Buccaneers preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Gruden was cast as the play-by-play announcer alongside Bucs' legend Ronde Barber, which represented a departure from his traditional role as an **** yst.
It marked Gruden's first game on the mic since Jan. 6, 2018, when the Tennessee **** ans defeated the Chiefs in the wild-card round.
After that game, the broadcaster would exchange the mic for a spot back on the then-Oakland Raiders sideline as the team's head coach. Gruden eventually resigned from his post in 2021 after some disparaging emails he wrote came to light. During that time, he was also removed from the Buccaneers' Ring of Honor. He has since been reinstated.
