Jon Gruden might never coach in the NFL again, but he’s hardly let his exile keep him away from football.
The former Raiders and Buccaneers head coach spent some time with the Chiefs at training camp during the offseason and was spotted wearing team gear, leading many to believe he had been hired by the defending Super Bowl champs.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has since revealed that it was just a friendly visit as he and Gruden maintain a great relationship.
Gruden, though, has admitted that he felt like punching one of Reid’s players, namely Patrick Mahomes.
The quarterback recently went viral for pulling off an insane behind-the-back pass to tight end Travis Kelce during a preseason game against the Detroit Lions. It was so good, Gruden nearly chose violence.
“He completed a pass behind his back. I wanted to go out and punch him for doing that,” the 61-year-old remarked, per MLFootball. “That’s just not fair. I mean, he completes them left-handed, behind his back, under his legs. The guy is a dazzling magician playing QB.”
Jon Gruden Might Feel Like Throwing Punches All Season
Fans are hoping to see a repeat of his in the regular season, though it’s very unlikely Mahomes will take the chance in a meaningful game.
Reid has already suggested that he won’t stand for it, although he was the one who encouraged the QB to give it a try.
Meanwhile, Jon Gruden has launched his own YouTube sports channel and already has a short episode out in which he breaks down the upcoming clash between the Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers in Brazil.
Hopefully, he won’t want to punch anyone after watching the game on Friday.

The Brooklyn Nets faced a challenging defeat on Wednesday, suffering a 113-98 loss to the Detroit Pistons. While the team was unable to secure a win, young star Noah Clowney had a standout performance. However, the game wasn’t without its setbacks for Clowney, as he was left shaken by an elbow to the neck from Pistons center Isaiah Stewart.
The incident took place with the score at 23-27 when Stewart seemingly made an intentional move by elbowing Clowney in the neck. As a result, Stewart was assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for the dangerous elbow. The elbow left Clowney struggling to breathe after being hit in the windpipe. The Slo-Mo clip of the incident reveals that Stewart’s actions were deliberate.
Despite the injury, Clowney continued to play through the discomfort and delivered a stellar performance for the Nets. He recorded a career-high 29 points, six rebounds, three assists, and three steals. He has achieved a milestone as the youngest player in franchise history to score 25+ points, grab 5+ rebounds, and make 5+ three-pointers in a single game.
Noah Clowney Reflects On His Three-Point Shooting Success With Nets
After the Brooklyn Nets’ loss to the Detroit Pistons, Noah Clowney opened up about his improvement in three-point shooting. Despite shooting just 29% from beyond the arc during his time at Alabama, Clowney has shown significant progress with the Nets this season.
“I don’t like where teams have the ability to sack off because I’m a weak shooter. I shot 29 percent at Alabama, but I knew I could shoot. Other people knew I could shoot. Somebody took a chance, and here we are. I feel like I can get in the lane,” Clowney said.
