Jon Gruden doesn't anticipate a return to the NFL as a head coach in the near future.

Gruden has been broadcasting with ESPN since 2009.

"I don't foresee myself coaching anytime soon," said Gruden. "But I do like getting as close to the fire as possible.

"All I really have going is football. I don't know what I would do without it. I'm happy with what I'm doing. I study as if I am a coach. I still make my own breakdowns. I still come up with my own playbook -- I just don't have anybody to give it to."

Gruden admitted last week that he's had talks with teams.

"I've met with several people -- I won't deny that."

"Just about every year I talk about coming back to coach," he said. "I'm not in here every day at 4:30 or 4:00 in the morning watching pinball, you know? I'm preparing myself to come back. I am. Every day. I'm preparing to come back."
