The University of Louisville has pegged Jon Gruden as its No. 1 candidate should the school decide to fire coach Steve Kragthorpe, sources told NFL Network’s Michael Lombardi.
Gruden went 95-81 in 11 seasons with the Oakland Raiders (1998-2001) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2002-08). He led the Bucs to a Super Bowl XXXVII victory over the Raiders in his first season after leaving Oakland and lasted seven years in Tampa Bay before he was fired.
Gruden has never been a college head coach, but he served as an assistant at Tennessee (1986-87), Southeast Missouri State (1988), Pacific (1989) and Pittsburgh (1991). And his brother, Jay, played quarterback at Louisville from 1985 to 1988.

It’s possible. But, I think when all the dust has settled, he’ll be back in the NFL where there is more money. The question also arises of whether he can mold talent or if he’s more suited for the NFL player.
