That's a nice quote from Jacobs. But to the best of my knowledge, Gruden himself hasn't actually taken accountability for the comments in full, which is what growth actually looks like.
Gruden may or may not be a coach again but you dragging him is punching down. Raiders running back Josh Jacobs said "I've been around this guy for 3 years. I've never felt a certain type of way about him. He's never rubbed me a certain way. I definitely trust him. It was 10 years ago; people grow."
