Modern social media allows fans access to athletes and coaches – and specifically, what they like and don’t like – in a way that was unprecedented 30 years ago.
Now, it appears that former NFL head coach Jon Gruden was caught ‘appreciating’ one woman’s workout a little too much.
The woman in question captured herself from behind working out on a treadmill while wearing some тιԍнт workout clothing.
Gruden clicked ‘like’ on the image as it came up on his feed. It appears that his ‘likes’ are public and some fans noticed his interaction with the feed.
‘Jon Gruden, my man!! Reels bops got him feeling nicey!,’ said one fan of Gruden’s, referencing a catch-phrase from his Barstool Sports show.
The account in question is from fitness influencer Jolie Becker – who goes by ‘joliejuiicy’ on Instagram – who has over two million followers.

Gruden, who won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2000s, has been out of work in the league since being fired from the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021 due to a series of controversial e-mails he sent.
He briefly worked as a consultant for the New Orleans Saints, but spent this past NFL season creating content for Barstool Sports.
But recently, he says he’s been tapped for some potential work as a coaching ᴀssistant at the University of Tennessee.
Appearing on ‘The Mike Keith Show’, Gruden says he had ‘serious talks’ to return to the school where he began his coaching career as a graduate ᴀssistant in the 1980s.
Now, Gruden says he’s interested in returning to the same position on the staff of head coach Josh Huepel
‘I got to visit with Coach Heupel and meet his wife last night, maybe I can come back here and be a GA (graduate ᴀssistant) all over again,’ said Gruden. ‘That’s the job I want.’
A shocked Keith couldn’t believe it, but Gruden replied, ‘Oh hell yeah. I’ll just go up to my barn (in nearby Sevierville), and I’ll come down here and break down tape and live happily ever after.’
