I didn't quite hear the same thing. My understanding has been that Gruden wants his own QB if he's going to take over anywhere (but maybe I misunderstood), and he was the one (at the suggestion of Doug Williams) who pushed for the Bucs to draft Josh Johnson last year (but again, maybe I misunderstood)

I still haven't heard that he's interested in this job anyway. He seems to be having a lot of fun what he's doing right now. But I do think he'll coach somewhere next year and Bruce Allen will be back in the league somewhere as well. You'd assume together, but who knows.
