'Monday Night Football' analyst Jon Gruden agrees to multiyear contract extension with ESPN - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4659441)
Gruden is staying with MNF, which probably eliminates him from a lot of the coaching talk. I think ND was probably the biggest job out there for him but they haven't even fired their current coach.
Still, what's this say when you have guys like Gruden and Cowher enjoying what they are doing as analysts and turning down opportunities to get back into the game? I think the assumption that these guys are willing to jump at the first new opportunity that comes their way and leave their analysts gigs is slowly fading away.
