Unflattering videos of Jay Gruden emerged online Friday and have led to further questions about the Washington Redskins head coach’s job status.
According to NBC Sports Washington, two video clips were posted to the Twitter account “@bubbachuck757” on Friday. One video shows Gruden smoking out on a street while talking to a woman. The man gets annoyed upon seeing he is being recorded. The second video shows the same man sitting on the sidewalk of a street talking to a woman.
The videos were released at a time when Gruden is believed to be on the hot seat. His team is 0-4 and has a shaky quarterback situation, which includes Colt McCoy being named the Week 5 starter.
Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy says the video is old and he had it two years ago but decided against publishing it.
Oh by the way this Jay Gruden video. It’s Saratoga. I had it 2 years ago and didn’t post it. I put dude who filmed it in a pizza review to get it. Why didn’t I post it ? Cause Im nice.

Here’s the thing about the Gruden videos- we’ve known about them for a while. Man’s out there living his life a couple years ago. Let him breathe.

The Redskins declined to comment on the videos, according to NBC Sports’ JP Finlay.
I reached out to the Redskins about the videos circulating online that appear to be Jay Gruden. The team has declined to comment.

Gruden is in his sixth season as the team’s head coach. He won the division and made the playoffs in his second year, but has gone 22-29-1 since then.
