Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden has informed his staff that he plans to resign, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.
News of Gruden's decision to step down follows a New York Times report that he regularly used anti-gay and misogynist language in email exchanges with former Washington Football Team executive Bruce Allen and others, the New York Times reported on Monday.
The Times reviewed a trove of email exchanges involving Gruden that surfaced as part of an NFL investigation into workplace misconduct at the Washington Football Team. Among the 650,000 emails that were reviewed included several from Gruden starting in 2010 when he worked for ESPN as a "Monday Night Football" analyst.
