Tony Dungy Gets Dragged Into Jon Gruden Mess: TRAINA THOUGHTS

1. Tony Dungy, who has a history of trying to clarify controversial comments, is now trying to clarify his defense of Jon Gruden.
During NBC’s NFL coverage Sunday night, Dungy and Mike Tirico weighed in on Gruden’s racist emails regarding player’s union head DeMaurice Smith from 2011 that had become news late last week.
“I’m not gonna chalk everything up to racism. I think we accept his apology, move forward and move on just like he did with this team.”

Less than 24 hours after Dungy made a plea to move forward, a whole new batch of offensive Gruden emails became public.
Naturally, social media had a field day mocking Dungy’s take from the night before, and he was trending most of Tuesday morning. The NBC studio host clearly got wind of the reaction, so he took to Twitter to defend his stance.




Yes, things got much worse for Gruden when the second leak happened Monday, but I still don’t understand why Dungy would go on national TV Sunday night and basically dismiss the initial batch of emails. It was a terrible look Sunday and an even worse look Monday.
This is far from the first time Dungy has needed to issue a clarification for his comments. After famously saying he wouldn’t draft Michael Sam, who was openly gay, in 2014, Dungy, who is not exactly an ally to the gay community, ridiculously tried to explain that his reason for saying he wouldn’t draft Sam wasn’t because Sam was gay, but because he would be a “distraction.”
Well, clearly that was correct because Carl Nassib, the first openly gay active player, has been a distraction for the Raiders. All people talk about all day on Sundays during Raiders games is that Nassib is gay! Who knows how much better the Raiders’ 3–2 record would be if Nassib’s sexuality wasn’t such a massive distraction every Sunday.
Dungy’s seemingly oh-no-big-deal reaction to Gruden’s comments about Smith reminded me about what Shannon Sharpe once said about Dungy after Dungy stuck up for Drew Brees, who had said he’d never agree with anyone disrespecting the flag regarding NFL protests: “What I’ve seen the NFL do, is that when a player or owner or coach says something, 1-800-TONY-DUNGY and he’s the crisis manager because he’s so good in our community that if Tony says it’s O.K., it’s O.K. Come on, Tony.”

It does seem like Tony’s standard M.O. for any and all controversies is “let’s forgive.” Well, that’s a cop-out. You can forgive, but you can also call for consequences.

Every incident should be judged on its own. Sometimes a person deserves a slap on the wrist. Sometimes they deserve 24 hours of getting crap on social media. Sometimes they deserve to be fired.
The blanket take on every single issue can’t be, ”Let’s forgive and move on.”
Tony Dungy should do better and so should NBC’s studio show.

How Gruden email leaks led to Snyder's demise

The October 2021 leaks of Jon Gruden's toxic emails triggered a series of events that forced Dan Snyder to sell the Commanders. Sources interviewed by ESPN connect the leaks to Snyder, but they also say a larger cast of people might have been involved.

It would be ironic if he got hired by the team that fired Gruden.

In any case, the Raiders just got McDaniel so they will probably not be looking if Tomlin leaves Pittsburgh next year.

Yeah Raiders mismanagement is notorious and Mark Davis is a punk. He’s made the Raiders a team of nostalgia about the good ol days when his father ran the team. Raiders are a retirement team end of career legends come to on their way out. We shouldve had CJ Stroud this last draft.

Mc Daniels needs to go and whatever Tomlin has left is 1000x’s better that McDaniels full effort at this point.
