Former Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden is strangely not being mentioned for, or being linked to, any of the open head coaching positions in the NFL.
I'm hoping the #Giants give him a long look as offensive coordinator.
I can't think of many other coaches I would want to coordinate and help develop Jones than Gruden. The work he's done with Cousins, Alex Smith, Dalton — all very impressive to me. https://t.co/aV624JZIzQ— Dan Schneier (@DanSchneierNFL) December 30, 2019
Gruden has always been known as a top offensive mind in the NFL and as Dan mentioned above, has developed some quarterbacks in his day. Why he’s not being considered for a new top job is a bit of a mystery.
The Giants certainly aren’t interested in him for their head coaching spot, but as a coordinator, Gruden could add value.
In an offensive-minded game, Gruden should be at the top of the list for at least a coordinator position. His track record in Cincinnati alone, where his offense helped the Bengals to three straight postseason berths earlier in the decade should warrant him a shot somewhere in the NFL.
