Out-of-nowhere news emerged earlier on Tuesday that former NFL head coach and Monday Night Football color commentator Jon Gruden wants to do play-by-play broadcasting.
As first reported by JoeBucsFan.com, Gruden appeared on the Ira Kaufman Podcast and explained his desire to do play-by-play announcing.
“I was a broadcaster for nine years; ******* ’s bells,” Gruden said on the Ira Kaufman Podcast. “I want to be play-by-play. You know, Frank Gifford, he transitioned into the play-by-play role. I would like to transition. I had nine years of watching these guys — [Mike] Tirico. And I’d like to give that a shot, man.”
The JoeBucsFan article added, “Gruden is not joking about a new broadcast role. Expect a more formal announcement on that front soon.”
Well, a more formal announcement may still be to come, but Tampa Bay Buccaneers reporter Ira Kaufman — who writes for JoeBucsFan — added more details in an appearance on Tampa Bay radio’s 95.7 WMAE on Tuesday.
