Eh Gruden!http://beta2.nationalfootballpost.com/Source-Louisville-targets-Jon-Gruden.htmlSource: Louisville targets Jon GrudenFormer Bucs coach is top choice if Kragthorpe is fired. National Football PostThis October 14, 2009, 07:41 PM EST Sources at the University of Louisville have informed the National Football Post that Jon Gruden will be the school’s No. 1 choice to replace Steve Kragthorpe as head coach if Kragthorpe is fired, as expected. The Cardinals are 2-3 heading into this week’s game at UConn. Kragthrope is 13-16 in his three years at Louisville after taking over for Bobby Petrino. Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich believes his school can compete for a national championship, and luring a coach with Gruden’s resume and experience would be a giant step in that direction.Gruden’s brother Jay is a former Louisville quarterback and led the team to an 8-3 record in his senior season.Jon Gruden was fired as head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in January but has made a successful transition to the broadcast booth, working as an analyst on ESPN’s Monday Night Football telecasts. He is also rumored to be a candidate for the Washington Redskins’ head job if owner Daniel Snyder opts to fire Jim Zorn, whose team is off to a 2-3 start.

He shouldn't have a problem getting a coaching job in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gruden does coach UL it will more than likely be for the short term as I think he will help his brother Jay become the UL coach when he leaves back for the NFL. Also, another rumor is saying that Tommy Tuberville is on UL's want list. You know UL is going to go after a splash hire as they have that stadium expansion to sell more tickets. They wont take a chance on another mid major coach the next go around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the NFL talking heads have Gruden taking over the Redskins... Naturally thats the rumor-mill fodder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
