Jon Gruden<\/strong> is hoping to get one more chance at leading an NFL team, and his former player Andre Rison<\/strong> says he deserves that opportunity … telling TMZ Sports<\/strong> he would not defend the coach if he truly believed he was not a man of character.<\/p>\n The former Raiders coach recently opened up about the email scandal that led to his departure in Las Vegas … saying his words were “shameful,” but hoping his mistakes wouldn’t permanently keep him out of the league.<\/p>\n Rison — who played for Gruden on the Raiders in 2000 — tells us he believes his old coach is sincere about his regret and accountability<\/strong> … and says if he were in charge of a team right now, he’d be giving Jon a call.<\/p>\n “No one is God,” Rison said. “For some reason in today’s time, everybody think they’re God now because social media and whatever other platforms that they can voice their opinions.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “God gave him the gift to coach and it’s up to him and God if he repents, and forgives for his negatives and his faults and his defaults, I have no problem with it.”<\/p>\n Rison says he knows firsthand Gruden is not racist … adding, “For him to be a racist, if he was a racist, he darn sure gave a lot of black athletes chances and opportunities to put food on the table for their families.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Gruden has been out of the league since 2021 … when his emails including homophobic and racist language were made public.<\/p>\n Rison says Gruden should get the benefit of the doubt.<\/p>\n “We all say things we regret. I’m not going to back him if he’s on the negative side — especially on that type of coin — and he knows that.”<\/p>\n Jon Gruden Out As Raiders Coach After Reported Homophobic Slurs In Emails <\/h4>\n
