Grumors, other rumors abound

The NFL season is at the end of its rinse phase, and for coaches around the league the spin cycle is just getting started. Various sites are reporting on likely job openings (John Fox won't be back in Chicago, nor Chuck Pagano in Indy), and with those reports come the usual rumors about which young hotshots (Matt Patricia) or grizzled retreads (Josh McDaniels) may soon have their own teams to run. Perhaps most intriguing at the moment are reports that the Bucs only decided to retain hangdog HC Dirk Koetter after striking out in pursuit of the face of Monday Night Football, former Bucs HC Jon Gruden -- and that Gruden may instead return to coaching his other former team, the Oakland-bound-for-Vegas Raiders. Among the rumored enticements for Gruden to leave his cushy night job: a modest ownership stake in the team. We'll have more to say about all of this as the axes begin to fall on Monday.
