    Head Coaching Prospect: Jon Gruden

    The meeting could be to gather info on Jay Gruden:



    "BTW that whole Brandon met with Jon Gruden thing was apparently legit but some speculation #Bills gathering info about Jay Gruden."

    Cowher and Gruden are my top picks.

        I know he's been offered head coaching jobs in the NFL before, but his only head coaching experience is in the Arena league, other than that I'm blank.

          He also coached the Florida Tuskers of the UFL the year after Haslett left for Washington. They lost the UFL championship game in his year as head coach.

              yeah... the one doesn't make sense. I think Simon has a bad source on this one, although I admittedly have no clue what the real story could be then.

                  And now PFT says he's willing to interview:



                  So we met with him and he's willing to interview... And was willing to meet with us. I like our chances.

                    You can't call another team's coach. You have to request permission.

                      Re: Howard Simon says the Gruden meeting happened. I want John over Jay

                      We officially have an opening. We did it quickly. And we've already met with Gruden... I like it all. Get him back here. Move swiftly.

                        But why meet with his brother... especially in person? Why not just wait?

                          I believed the Jay angle until I saw the report about John wanting to possibly coach again.

                          We met with him to gauge interest. It's pure speculation but I think we are very much in play for him.

                            If he actually got on a plane and came to Buffalo then I agree. The two variables are attractiveness of other openings and amount of personnel control.

                              Agree on variables.
