Report: Gruden eyeing NFL return? Interested in Eagles

The white whale of many Eagles fans might be in reach. But it appears the Eagles' head fisherman isn't going for it.

According to the Daily News' Paul Domowitch, former NFL head coach and Super Bowl champion Jon Gruden is interested in the Eagles' coaching vacancy. Gruden has expressed his interest to Eagles owner Jeff Lurie through an intermediary, according to the report.

Just because Gruden might be interested, it doesn't mean Lurie is going to go after the current ESPN analyst.

From Domowitch:

"The source said that while Lurie likes and respects Gruden, who was the Eagles' offensive coordinator in 1997-98, he has reservations about the ESPN Monday Night Football analyst's ability/willingness to play nice with Roseman, who has returned to a seat of personnel power now that Chip Kelly is gone.
