Jon Gruden On Coaching Football Again + Competitive Relationship With Andy Reid

Recorded: December 16th 2024

In this episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, the boys sit down with NFL coaching legend Jon Gruden for a no-holds-barred discussion on all things football, coaching, and his new ventures with Barstool Sports. They break down the College Football Playoff, an epic NFL weekend, and discuss Jon’s storied career, including his Super Bowl victory in Tampa Bay and his thoughts on modern football, and his potential return to coaching.

Taylor Lewan and Will Compton also dive into some dad talk with the back of the bus, and preview their weekend in South Bend, Indiana. They then kick things off with a breakdown of the upcoming massive football weekend, a deep dive into the College Football Playoff picture, and some wild betting stories like Will’s almost 9-leg parlay. They cover the latest NFL recap, including controversial topics like DeVondre Campbell walking out on his team and the popular Shoutout No Free Shoutout segment.

Get on the bus with NFL players Will Compton & Taylor Lewan! The Boys are letting you in on their hilarious, high-energy (and often heartfelt) conversations. Topics range from exclusive stories to active player perspectives to out-of-left-field hot takes on things you and your friends only discuss behind closed doors. Sometimes they chat with a guest, sometimes it’s just the two of them, but it’s always a good time when you’re Bussin’ With The Boys.

And yes, this is the podcast where Mike Vrabel said he’d cut his piece off for a Super Bowl.
