It looks like A.J.Smith and Jon Gruden are heading to the St. Louis Rams:

I want the Colts to hire Steve Spagnuolos as the DC.

Nah... He won't go there...

...he can't wear a visor indoors.

Gruden has said a million times that he isn't coming back to coach anywhere. I think he is enjoying his time as an analyst way too much to return to the sideline.

"Another source told CBSSports.com columnist Mike Freeman that Gruden is ''ready to leave television, but only if the right job is out there.""

One might consider the possibility that "the right job" is one with an incredibly >>>ed up team, a competent owner who is sick of winning, and Andrew Luck coming in as rookie. (And no, I'm not talking about the Colts).

If Gruden thinks Luck is the next Manning (whom he obviously admires), he may be dreaming of grooming him and riding his coat tails. If a new GM and coach came in, I wouldn't be surprised to see Bradford traded and the team starting fresh.

I think Gruden has the right attitude to coach the Colts. I wouldn't mind him here. At this point we could sign Lady Gaga as the head coach and I think it would be an improvement.

Unlikely if they keep the same management team in place - those individuals have too much invested in Bradford. However the article was about replacing the GM and coach. Smith traded Brees so he could play Rivers. If he has the opportunity to draft Luck (and he is all that many seem to think he he is), why not? Should he put his new job on the line for a QB who has taken a step back this year and seems injury prone? That franchise has a lot of problems, and the market for Bradford should be pretty lively. He's still very young, and probably a better prospect that anyone (besides Luck) in this years draft.
