Wed Feb 05 01:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Raiders Owner Credits Tom Brady for Stability After Gruden Scandal
**Las Vegas, NV** – Las Vegas Raiders owner Mark Davis attributed the team’s recent stability to the addition of Tom Brady as a minority owner, filling a void left by the abrupt departure of former head coach Jon Gruden. Speaking Monday following the introductions of new head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Spytek, Davis emphasized that Brady’s involvement provided crucial football expertise.
Davis explained that Gruden, hired in 2018 with a 10-year contract, was intended to provide that stability but his resignation in 2021 due to racist, misogynistic, and homophobic emails unearthed during an NFL investigation left the organization in disarray. The subsequent coaching searches, involving Josh McDaniels and Antonio Pierce, ultimately proved unsuccessful.
Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion, joined the Raiders ownership group last October and played a key role in the interview process for the head coaching position. Davis expressed confidence in Carroll and Spytek, hoping they will finally bring sustained success to the franchise, stating, “We want to build something here… and we’ll see, but I’ve got patience to get it right, and I think we’ve got the people now.” The Raiders finished the 2022-2023 season with a disappointing 4-13 record.
