Former Coach Jon Gruden Advises Baltimore Ravens During OTAs

The Baltimore Ravens hosted former NFL head coach Jon Gruden during their recent OTAs, with head coach John Harbaugh praising Gruden's football knowledge and detailed insights. Despite Gruden's controversial departure from the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021 due to offensive emails, he has remained involved in football through media work and ownership in arena football. Gruden provided valuable feedback to the Ravens' offensive players, offering specific advice on improvement and assessing how opponents might attack their defense. Harbaugh expressed respect for Gruden's candid coaching style and highlighted ongoing communication between their staffs. Gruden's presence at the OTAs, including interactions with key Ravens coaches and front office personnel, is seen as a potential boost as Baltimore aims to advance further in the playoffs with Lamar Jackson leading the team. This collaboration signals a continued if unofficial, role for Gruden in NFL coaching circles despite his unresolved legal situation with the league.
