"But yeah, I'm very interested in coaching at any level, period."Jon Gruden wants to get back in the game.In his first interview since offensive emails led to his messy exit with the Las Vegas Raiders, Gruden tells @CBSSports he wants to coach again — and this time as a college football coach.Exclusive: https://t.co/Fa46O4pdUh pic.twitter.com/MVrUHQ3GhZ— Brandon Marcello (@bmarcello) September 18, 2024Gruden's potential candidacy remains problematic due to his abrupt 2021 ouster from his previous head coaching role with the Las Vegas Raiders. The uncovering of emails containing language that was homophobic, misogynistic and derogatory, including a racially insensitive metaphor to describe NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith, led to his resignation.Gruden sued the NFL in November 2021 alleging that commissioner Roger Goodell and the league intentionally leaked the emails to get him fired. In July, Gruden's attorneys lost their bid to reverse three Nevada Supreme Court judges' decision to allow the NFL to move the case out of state court and into arbitration.Asked by Marcello if he had any remorse for what he wrote in the emails, Gruden refused to comment because he hasn't had his "due process yet." However, in 2022, he did admit he was "ashamed about what has come about in these emails and I'll make no excuses for it."Jon Gruden at the Little Rock Touchdown club commenting on the emails that ended his NFL coaching career. pic.twitter.com/1ClcWtdTRn— Steve Sullivan (@sully7777) August 30, 2022Being out of the game for three years and not having run a college program before would be on the list of concerns for any school. The biggest issue, though, would be the constant questioning of Gruden's character by recruits and their families in the aftermath of his email scandal.An athletic director from a Group of Five school told Marcello that it would take "a pretty strong level of agreement or disagreement" to go forward with Gruden's candidacy. Rival programs also would use the email controversy as a negative recruiting tactic."If it comes to that, then I have to ask myself, is all that imputed risk worth the payoff?" the AD asked.One response in the affirmative is all Gruden is hoping for. But it would come from the most desperate of college football programs, one in need of a big-name hire splash.MORE TOP STORIES FROM THE BIG LEADNFL/FANTASY: Carson Steele is fantasy football’s latest saviorMLB: Stephen Vogt locks up AL Manager of the Year with emotional postgame remarksGOLF: Bryson DeChambeau makes wild claim about Chicago courseROUNDUP: The Roundup is back!

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew wants to sign two new strikers in the transfer window.
Senegal international Papiss Cisse was often utilised as a lone striker last season after Demba Ba departed St James Park for UEFA Europa League winners Chelsea in January.
Yoan Gouffran, Shola Ameobi and youngster Adam Campbell all provide competition in Newcastle s forward line, but Pardew is keen to bolster his options with Aston Villa s Darren Bent and Loic Remy of QPR mooted as potential targets.
I think we might need two strikers, Pardew told the Shields Gazette.
I personally think, my competition in that area Cisse, Shola, Gouff (Gouffran) and Adam Campbell last season wasn t strong enough.
In the Premier League, that s not enough. I need more than that.

An Italian Football Federation prosecutor has called for Paolo Cannavaro and Gianluca Grava to be suspended for nine months after they were asked to rig a Serie A match.
The accusations revolve around the fixture between Sampdoria and Napoli on May 16, 2010, which the former won 1-0 to seal their place in the following season s Champions League playoffs.

Diego Maradona is only considering victory for his Argentina side in next month s pivotal World Cup qualifier against continental arch rivals Brazil.
With four games to go in South American zonal qualifying, Argentina are lying fourth in the last automatic qualifying spot for South Africa, with 22 points, five behind leaders Brazil.
Chile and Paraguay are in second and third.
Despite that precarious position, Maradona was in positive mood Wednesday, telling a press conference in Rosario where the September 5 tie is being held: I m only thinking of victory, I m not considering defeat.
Honours were shared with a goalless draw in the two countries first meeting on the road to South Africa in Belo Horizonte in June last year.

Melbourne Heart right-back Michael Marrone has departed for China to discuss terms with an unnamed club.
Marrone has made 70 appearances since joining the Heart for their inaugural 2010-11 season and has long been linked with a move overseas.
He was on the verge of a move to Serie A outfit Cagliari before the 2011-12 campaign before a change of coach scuppered the transfer, but it now appears he has gotten his wish.
Newly capped Australia international Marrone will miss Heart s Round 16 A-League match with Sydney on Sunday, with coach John Aloisi wishing the 25-year-old the best.
Michael has been a great servant of the club and has become a fan favourite, Aloisi said via statement.

Two first-half goals helped Oman to a 2-0 Asian Cup qualifying win over Singapore at the Jalan Besar Stadium on Wednesday.
Neither side featured in Qatar 2011 but Oman gave themselves a great opportunity to qualify for Australia 2015 by moving top of the group thanks to strikes from Qasim Said and Eid Mohammed.
Oman, who were without injured goalkeeper Ali Al-Habsi as well as vice-captain Ahmed Mubarak and striker Ahmed Hosni, got off to the better start and were rewarded for their efforts early on.
Good play on the right-hand side from Said saw him cut in and fire an effort into the far corner after 14 minutes to put his side on their way to their second win of qualification.

The omission of Leroy Sane came as a major surprise when Joachim Low announced his final Germany squad for the World Cup on Monday.
The Manchester City winger was one of four names to be cut from the provisional group, along with Bernd Leno, Jonathan Tah and Nils Petersen.
Low explained it was a very close decision between Sane and Bayer Leverkusen s Julian Brant, who ultimately got the nod, adding that Sane, has not arrived in international matches yet .
The question of poor form on the part of the 22-year-old seems at odds with his performances in the Premier League, with Sane having won the PFA Young Player of the Year award for 2017-18 due to his form for champions Manchester City.
So, is Low s decision justified? With the help of Opta, we crunch the…

Frank Lampard has vowed to not let anyone off the hook after Chelsea slipped out of the Champions League with another 2-0 loss to Real Madrid.
The Blues suffered their fourth successive defeat in as many games as a Rodrygo double condemned them to a 4-0 aggregate quarter-final defeat.
Chelsea s latest loss means Lampard has overseen the club s worst run across all competitions for close to three decades since his return as interim boss.
Though much-improved from Santiago Bernabeu last week, the former midfielder still needs to see standards rise, and says he will not let any player off lightly.
You re playing for Chelsea, he told BT Sport. Every game you play, you have to give everything. I won t let anyone off the hook and we have to show. That standard…
