The news of Jon Gruden’s resignation as head coach of the Raiders came fast Monday night after a New York Times report brought to light more homophobic and misogynistic emails sent by Gruden many years ago.

Many football fans are expressing their thoughts on the firing on social media, saying Gruden deserved to lose his job.

The Raiders announced Monday night Rich Bisaccia will serve as the interim head coach for Las Vegas.
