Will Jon Gruden Sign Contract as NFL Head Coach Before Start of 2018 Season Odds

Dave Mason of BetOnline has posted odds on the future of NFL head coach-turned commentator Jon Gruden and the long time speculation that he may move back into coaching.....Could this happen prior to the 2018 NFL regular season? 

Every year around Christmas time, the football world is gifted with various rumors about Jon Gruden possibly returning to coaching, Kevin Patra of NFL.com writes.

Because this always fails to come to fruition year after year, Mason has posted the following odds, the NO being the favorite.

There is some reason to be optimistic if you happen to have taken the YES with a near $20 payout on every $10 bet.

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday on GameDay Morning said things may be different this year:

"As it's being explained to me, this year may actually be different," Rapoport said. "Gruden right now is going through the process of reaching out to former assistants and friends in the coaching industry just to see if they would be available, if they would potentially come with him if he were able to get a head coaching job. And of course the Tampa Bay Buccaneers do have Dirk Koetter on the hot seat -- that would be his preferred destination. The Bucs have often swung big. They'd have to give up a lot of money to outbid ESPN and pay Gruden what he would want -- something that would be worth it to come back to coaching. As a source close to him told me, this year may actually be different."

We shall see.
