Where there is Gruden Smoke...there is fire

Whither Gruden? After a CBS report Sunday that ESPN's Jon Gruden is preparing to return to coaching, Gruden was unavailable for comment. But ESPN spokesman Bill Hofheimer had this response: "Jon remains committed to ESPN. With a third of our Monday Night Football schedule still left this season, he's focused on his analyst role and preparation for our games."

CBS reporter Jason La Canfora was pretty specific Sunday, saying Gruden is putting together "candidates to join him on his staff" and is focused on college coaching -- with Arkansas and Tennessee "prepared to get into a bidding war over him."

Notre Dame to national title game would be a boon for TV

Well, that's the end of it. ESPN says CJG remains commited to them. We can go on to someone else...

Hart subtly hinted at a 'bidding war' during the presser.

As a matter of fact, he referenced the Gruden situation at least 4 times without even being asked.

Gruden can remain commited to espn and finish out the year broadcasting while accepting UT's head coach position.
