After leading the Oakland Raiders to back-to-back division titles in 2000 and 2001, Gruden was flipped to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a blockbuster trade. There, he became the youngest Super Bowl-winning head coach in history.
Since Gruden's coaching days ended, he has been an analyst on "Monday Night Football," as the highest-paid employee at ESPN. Still, it seems that almost every time there is a high-profile opening for a head coach, his name is among the first to be mentioned.
Below, take a look back at Gruden's wild ride through 30 years of playing, coaching, and talking about football.
