The Tennessee Volunteers have initiated their search for a new full-time head coach following Butch Jones' dismissal on Sunday, and Super Bowl champion Jon Gruden has reportedly done a bit of due diligence with regard to the opening.
Citing multiple sources, the Times Free Press' Stephen Hargis reported Wednesday that "Gruden has reached out to current college assistants who have a history of either playing or coaching at Tennessee, to gauge their interest in potentially joining his staff."
Appearing on ESPN's Mike & Mike Wednesday morning, the Monday Night Football analyst downplayed his pursuit of the gig.
