Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden is always good for a funny quip, even in what seems like drab times.
His brother, Jay Gruden, had to know this was coming, too.
“I’m obviously very disappointed for my brother,” Gruden told reporters Tuesday per Paul Gutierrez of ESPN. “It was a long night, last couple of nights. He worked hard. Got a lot of respect for my brother. Obviously, disappointed for him getting fired…”I’ve been fired. Jay’s been fired and … welcome to the club, bro.”
Jon, of course, was fired by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2008 and had his well-known stint outside of the game before returning with the Raiders.
Jon’s Raiders are much better off than Jay’s Washington Redskins at 3-2 and smack in the middle of what looks to be a long-term plan.
Funnily enough, Jay is now available to assist in that plan if the two brothers want to link up in the AFC.
