Would he hire Gruden? N-O, no.

With the Andy Reid era all but officially over, rumors of his replacement are about to intensify.

Jon Gruden, the ESPN analyst is supposedly on the Eagles' short list. Gruden hasn't accomplished anything as a coach since leading a Buccaneers squad composed mainly of Tony Dungy's players to a Super Bowl title.

Gruden's agent, Bob LaMonte, also is Reid's agent.

The latest Gruden rumor is here.

Penn State head coach Bill O'Brien also is on the list according to ESPN's Chris Mortenson.

O'Brien has a reported $9 million buyout clause.
