The fallout from Jon Gruden's resignation as Raiders coach will linger for some time, but NFL games don't stop, and the Raiders have to play Sunday against the rival Denver Broncos.
From this moment forward, owner Mark Davis will have to make multiple decisions regarding the franchise's operations, but a fresh start is exactly what the organization needs.
Gruden's second tenure with the Raiders organization ended with a disgraced coach resigning because of racist, anti-gay and misogynistic remarks he made in past emails. The New York Times' expose obliterated a relationship that Davis termed "a big f'in deal" upon Gruden's hiring.
