THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay called the situation surrounding former Las Vegas Raiders coach Jon Gruden, also McVay's mentor and former boss, "unfortunate" and "sad."
"It's really an unfortunate situation that's gone on with the Raiders and coach Gruden," McVay said to open his routine pre-practice news conference on Wednesday. "Hated that so many people have been negatively affected by this, thoughts and prayers are with all those people that are, and really just want to leave it at that."
Gruden resigned from his position Monday night following a New York Times report that revealed leaked emails from him that used racist, misogynistic and anti-gay language.
