Gruden will interview for NFL jobs

[Guest]

Despite public protestations he's happy in his current position as a television analyst, Jon Gruden will interview with NFL teams for their head coaching position, according to people with knowledge of the situation.

Over the past few weeks, teams have quietly contacted Gruden and/or his representatives to gauge Gruden's interest. In response, Gruden and/or his representatives informed teams Gruden would speak to them once the regular season ended.

Well, the regular season has ended, and Gruden will begin talking to those teams maybe as early as Monday. Gruden is currently an analyst for ESPN and has said publicly he will stay at the network.

However, privately, the Gruden camp has acted differently, and let it be known the former coach is interested in returning to the NFL. This doesn't mean he will return. This means he's interested in doing so if the right job opens up.

Two teams to pay close attention to regarding Gruden are Philadelphia and San Diego (although the Chargers might focus on a younger coach).

More about the Browns. I can't see how he would take that job (if offered) above any other available on that he could snag. Perhaps the possibility of having control over making up the roster is what he may want...but that QB situation is too shaky at best.

He's boring to watch on ESPN and he's fun to watch when he's on the sidelines screaming nonsense. I hope someone hires him.

Media reports are all lies

Certainly are enough jobs to choose from

what makes the browns job any less appealing than any other? weeden is young, but has skills. he can be developed. they have a good core group of young players. they have a dedicated owner finally who has the money to pay him. sure the history has been shit, but you have to throw that out the window when talking about a new owner who is hungry to win

He is going to Chicago. Take that to the bank.

I actually agree with Maynard on this one. Given that Gruden has some ties to the state, and I think the new ownership of the Browns with Joe Banner in charge actually makes for an appealing job. The only question is how much autonomy do they give to Gruden, because that will be what decides if he comes to Cleveland or not.

[SuperKevin]

I think Gruden is going to go to a team with a Quartback he trusts. Did he like Weeden?

I hope the Eagles don't hire him....I don't think they will but he has some ties to Philly so who knows.
