by from on (#736ZN)
Jon Gruden has denied reports that the New York Jets "reached out" to him about joining Aaron Glenn's staff ahead of the 2026 NFL season.
The Barstool Sports personality and former NFL coach addressed the rumors when asked about them by Tom Krasniqi in an appearance on 95.3 WDAE radio in the Tampa Bay area.
"There's a lot of stupid rumors out there. Some of these reports are ridiculous," Gruden said. "Let's just say there was never anything from the Jets and I wish them well in their search for a new offensive coordinator."
