It’s time for your annual Jon Gruden coaching rumor to be dispelled. The Monday Night Football analyst is not interested in the Philadelphia Eagles job.
Philly.com originally reported on Thursday night that Gruden had reached out to Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and made his interest in the job known. Later in the evening, the denials came down quickly, both from sources and from Gruden himself.
This Jon Gruden interest in the Eagles stuff is ridiculous. Not happening and not discussed

Gruden is always going to get linked to the highest profile coaching vacancies, but it’s been seven years since he’s coached and given the money he’s making at ESPN, it would take a lot to get him to give up that gig.
