Gruden returning to coach? Not 'anytime soon'
TAMPA, Fla. -- Former Buccaneers head coach and ESPN Monday Night Football analyst Jon Gruden said Wednesday that he is not planning a return to coaching.
"I don't foresee myself coaching anytime soon," said Gruden, who led the Bucs to a Super Bowl XXXVII victory in 2002 and this fall will be inducted into the team's Ring of Honor. "But I do like getting as close to the fire as possible."
"All I really have going is football. I don't know what I would do without it. I'm happy with what I'm doing. I study as if I am a coach. I still make my own breakdowns, I still come up with my own playbook -- I just don't have anybody to give it to."
