Former head coach Jon Gruden has returned to NFL coaching to help Derek Carr get to grips with the New Orleans Saintsoffence.

Gruden resigned as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders in October 2021 after a league investigation into the Washington Football Team for workplace misconduct found he had used racist, misogynistic, and homophobic slurs in emails written between 2011 and 2018. However, the 59-year-old has been brought in by the Saints in a specialist role to assist Carr.

Gruden worked with the quarterback for just over three seasons, and his familiarity with the offensive scheme set to be employed by the Saints ensured he could help Carr transition to his new team effectively. New Orleans signed Carr to a four-year deal worth $150 million (£121 million) in March after his release from the Raiders, who selected him in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draught.

The Saints ultimately called Gruden to work with Carr and the offensive coaching staff, as head coach Dennis Allen hopes the new-look unit can improve on their 7-10 record in 2022. With the Raiders, Gruden installed a West Coast offence, which is the same scheme utilised by the Saints.

In fact, the NFC South franchise’s version of the West Coast offence is a page out of the book of former coach Sean Payton, who spent 15 years in New Orleans and delivered a Super Bowl title. Payton and Gruden coached alongside each other on the Philadelphia Eagles in 1997, with the former being the quarterbacks coach while the latter was the offensive coordinator.

The Saints signed Carr due to his familiarity with the scheme, and the quarterback is excited to work in a similar setup. Speaking to NOLA.com, Carr said: "It's a new system, new words, [but] a lot of similarities to things that I grew up on and believe in. It's still a learning curve, but not as big of a curve as it could be in a different system or a different offence."

Saints offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael is thrilled to have Carr under centre, adding, "He's a great fit for us. We'll cater to things that he likes as long as they fit with our personnel. The majority of what we've done [in New Orleans], he's had some of that over his career. There are a lot of similarities.

BBQ Belt Origins: Exploring the Americas' Meaty Tradition

How America’s meaty tradition grew from Caribbean roots to the four distinct styles we know today. If any gastronomical treat could give the proverbially American apple pie a run for its money, it might just be barbecue. The culinary tradition of cooking meat low and slow over indirect flame (the true definition of barbecue—imposters who grill, take note) has become so prevalent over the years that BBQ itself represents a sort of pop culture, spawning TV shows, historically focused road trips, and even fusion dishes like BBQ tacos. Barbecue’s ability to reflect whatever might be hot at the time (from reality TV to the taco craze) isn’t new; in fact, barbecue has a long history of permeation, perhaps best experienced by the ongoing barbecue feud that plagues the South. From the Atlantic to the Gulf, bordered by the western outposts of Texas and Kansas City, the area of the United States known as the “barbecue belt” houses four distinct barbecue traditions: Carolina, Texas, Memphis, and Kansas City. From where did these traditions come, and how, in a relatively small region of the country, have they evolved along such different paths? The history of American barbecue is as diverse as the variations themselves, charting the path of a Caribbean cooking style brought north by Spanish conquistadors, moved westward by settlers, and seasoned with the flavors of European cultures.

The Great 'Taste' Divide: US vs. UK Chocolate

American chocolate tastes like "vomit." As any American knowing or living with Brits has heard, American chocolate is the absolute worst. Apparently, it even tastes like vomit or earwax to some. One British friend of mine even stated that he would rather eat no chocolate at all than suffer through an American bar. It should be noted that these comments are mostly relegated towards “everyday” chocolate, like a Hershey’s bar, and not the higher quality or fine chocolates. Yet the importance of these beliefs about taste cannot be overstated. There is likely a real flavor difference in the American Hershey’s and British Cadbury's milk chocolate bars, although not the ones that people usually claim; this difference has its roots in the chocolate giants’ respective histories during World War II.
