Jon Gruden resigned on Monday as the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders after reports emerged of him using offensive language in numerous emails he sent about a decade ago.

“I have resigned as Head Coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. I love the Raiders and do not want to be a distraction. Thank you to all the players, coaches, staff, and fans of Raider Nation. I’m sorry, I never meant to hurt anyone,” Gruden said in a statement issued by the Raiders.
