The former head coach and longtime football personality has filed a complaint against the League and Commissioner Roger Goodell, alleging that a “malicious and orchestrated campaign” was used to destroy his career on the run of emails. The disclosed messages came from his ESPN analyst and the “Monday Night Football” broadcaster.
The NFL appealed to the High Court of Nevada in 2022 after a Las Vegas judge rejected the League offers to reject Gruden’s complaint or to order the talks outside the field through an arbitration process which could be supervised by GOODELL.
On Monday, the Supreme Court of Nevada ruled in a decision 5-2 according to which “the arbitration clause in the constitution of the NFL is inadmissible and does not apply to Gruden as an employee”.
The NFL refused to comment on the decision, according to the Associated Press.
The Gruden lawyers applauded the decision in a statement from the Professional Football Conference.

“We are very satisfied with the decision of the Supreme Court of Nevada, not only for the coach Gruden, but for all the employees confronted with the unfair arbitration process of an employer,” said Adam Hosmer-Henner of McDonald Carano LLP at the point of sale. “This victory further justifies the reputation of coach Gruden, and this opens the way to quickly bring him full justice and to hold the responsible NFL.”
Gruden was the Raiders head coach when the team moved from Oakland to Las Vegas. He requests monetary damage, alleging that the selective disclosure of emails rushing his career and approval transactions.
Since he left the raiders, Gruden has come in the NFL. He was seen on the touch working with players from New Orleans saints and, more recently, Lions of Detroit and Jacksonville jaguars. He is also a co -owner and consultant for the Arena Football One Nashville Kats of the League.
He expressed his hope for a return of the NFL in July during the Lions visit.
“I hope I’m not finished,” Gruden told journalists, via the Free Press of Detroit. “I am about to make a comeback. I work hard to perhaps get one more stroke, but I hope that some of these guys who fell from my branch, if you say it that way, maybe they can commit me because I am looking for a job.

“I don’t care if I train Jones Junior High,” he added. “I’m going to train again. I’m still a coach. I’m just not in a team officially, but I have private assignments I work on, and I wear equipment when I watch the games that nobody knows for whom I shoot.”
