Gruden keeps door back to coaching wide open

[polamalubeast]

One of the things that makes Jon Gruden such a great broadcaster is that he has a tremendous amount of passion. The kind of passion that comes from a guy who is still a head coach.

The kind of passion that, by all appearances, inevitably will make him a head coach again.

Gruden shares some of that passion with Bryant Gumbel in a profile to debut tonight on HBO’s Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel (9:00 p.m. ET). Gruden also addresses whether he has turned down offers to get back into coaching.

“Yeah, I’ve had opportunities to come back,” Gruden said, both at the pro and college levels.

So why hasn’t he? “I don’t know,” Gruden told Gumbel. “I’m trying to figure out — I’m trying to figure out where I’m going. If the right opportunity presents itself, I will come back.”

That would be stupid. He'd be exposed for the fraud of a coach he is...

He got the biggest gift of a Super Bowl ring ever, but the guy does his homework at least as a TV analyst.

The headline sounds like something Mike Turico would say about his mancrush Brady.

I always liked him as a coach, but I like him in the booth as well.
