He's the only coach that's played an openly gay player, and extensively at


that. (don't think Michael Sam ever saw an actual snap in a season game) An openly gay player that at least initially came to back Gruden (not sure he had seen his emails about Sam at that point) and has said it's been a total non-issue and nothing but support for him since he came out.

I think his comments about the kneeling was ultimately what went too far. (not to defend his homophobic comments, or his comments and horrific response to the DeMaurice Smith email) Between that becoming an issue with players in his own locker room, and the NFL's current Wokeness on display, that was a spin he simply couldn't recover from.
