Jay Gruden, former Bengals offensive coordinator, interviews for Saints' OC job

Jay Gruden, a former Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator and Washington Football Team head coach who worked in 2020 as the Jacksonville Jaguars' offensive coordinator, interviewed Tuesday for the New Orleans Saints' offensive-coordinator vacancy, according to a report via Twitter from on3's Matt Zenitz.

Gruden interviewed twice last month for the Carolina Panthers' offensive-coordinator vacancy, according to multiple reports. Carolina hired former New York Giants head coach Ben McAdoo after firing Joe Brady - LSU's passing-game coordinator when Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow led the Tigers to the College Football Playoff national title in 2019 - after two seasons as the Panthers' OC.

Gruden indicated last February that he wouldn't be coaching during the 2021 NFL season and would like to give broadcasting a shot, suggesting that he could do a better job than CBS' Tony Romo.

Gruden was the Bengals' offensive coordinator under head coach Marvin Lewis from 2011 to 2013. He was hired as Washington's head coach in Jan. 2014 and dismissed in Oct. 2019 after his team started the season 0-5.

Gruden was 35-49-1 as Washington's head coach.
