Jon Gruden has not coached since the 2008 season and seems to enjoy his job as an analyst for ESPN, but a report says he would listen to a pitch if the Rams showed interest in him for their coaching job.

The Rams are looking for a new coach after firing Jeff Fisher on Monday amid a 4-9 season. Names like Jim Harbaugh and Gruden have been thrown around. While Harbaugh seems to just be getting started at Michigan, the Rams might have a little more luck talking with Gruden.

The LA Times’ Sam Farmer reported the following on Monday:

Those close to Gruden have indicated he would listen to a Rams pitch, however, and that he might be interested in a return to coaching after seven years as color analyst for ESPN’s “Monday Night Football.”

Gruden went 95-81 during his coaching career, which entailed stints with the Raiders and Bucs, including a Super Bowl win with Tampa Bay.

Gruden’s name has come up many times when teams have had coaching vacancies, but he’s never left the comforts of the ESPN broadcasting booth. One reason why is he’s reportedly being paid an absurd amount of money that is in line with what many NFL coaches earn.

Gruden probably won’t leave ESPN for the Rams, but it’s still noteworthy any time he is mentioned for a coaching job.
