CORAL GABLES, Fla. (AP) — An ESPN executive says he expects Jon Gruden to stay in broadcasting and not return to coaching.
The Super Bowl-winning former Tampa Bay and Oakland coach has been linked to the opening at Miami. Gruden was hired as an analyst for “Monday Night Football” before last season after being fired by the Buccaneers.
On a conference call Wednesday about ESPN’s baseball announcers, executive vice president Norby Williamson was asked if he thought Gruden would remain with the network. His response was “absolutely.”
Williamson says: “My feeling is Jon is in Year 2 of a long-term contract, and we expect Jon to be on ‘Monday Night Football’ doing what he’s been doing for a long time to come.”
