In his most-recent online chat, long-time Pittsburgh Steelers beat reporter Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette was asked this question: “Who do you expect realistically the Steelers to target in the off-season for their inevitable vacant OC job?” Dulac answered the question: “Way too early to speculate. But a good one would be a [Mike] Tomlin friend — Jon Gruden.” Since then, there have been posts taking that speculation from Dulac almost as a declaration that it will happen. On Thursday, a former NFL player who played for Gruden, Hall of Famer warren Sapp, essentially shot down the possibility of Gruden coaching for the Steelers next season.
