Is Jay Gruden up for a promotion?

We told you on Tuesday that tight ends coach Bob Casullo appears to be on the outs.

Now, guess who is under consideration to replace him: Jay Gruden.

Coach Jon Gruden's younger brother might slide up the totem pole on the staff hierarchy, possibly going from a general "offensive assistant" role to full-fledged position coach. This move was made much more likely by the recent demise of the Arena Football League, for which Jay coached the Orlando Predators.

Jay, 41, had split duties between the Bucs and Predators before now. But he suddenly finds himself in the market for a full-time job.

If this move is consummated, it would be another sign that Jon Gruden isn't going anywhere. Maybe that's taking too much of a leap, but I doubt it. The fact that Raheem Morris has already been named defensive coordinator and, now, the potential hiring of Gruden's brother are indications that Gruden clearly wields considerable influence at One Buc Place and his job does not appear to be in jeaopardy.

Raheem Morris "on the radar" in Denver

Newly-promoted Bucs defensive coordinator Raheem Morris is considered in NFL circles to be "on the radar" in the Denver Broncos' search for a new head coach, according to the Rocky Mountain News.

The Denver-based newspaper reported the news for today's editions in response to the firing of longtime Broncos coach Mike Shanahan on Tuesday.

Morris, one of the hotter young coaches in the league, could be considered for other vacancies, too. His name has already been reported in connection with the coaching search in St. Louis.

Though the Bucs just locked up Morris under a two-year contract on Christmas Day, league rules prohibit teams from blocking assistants from interviewing head-coaching posts.
