Jon Gruden is a Buccaneers legend, but he’s also a business man, and he knows Saturday will be a showcase for him potentially to earn millions broadcasting games on TV again.

After being excommunicated from the NFL nearly five years ago and suing the league as a result, Gruden has been on a comeback trail courtesy of Team Glazer. The Bucs owners restored Gruden into the Buccaneers Ring of Honor and embraced him.

The Bucs have since used Gruden for team media and blessed him joining Rondé Barber in the preseason WFLA-TV broadcast booth for the upcoming Chiefs-Bucs game call in Tampa.

Gruden told the Ira Kaufman Podcast that he wants to be a play-by-play guy after nearly a decade as an analyst on Monday Night Football.

“I was a broadcaster for nine years; hell’s bells,” Gruden said five weeks ago. “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.”

But Gruden has since backed off that stance and said he just likes breaking down football for fans. Period.

This week on The Rondé Barber Show, a WFLA-TV streaming property, Gruden said he thinks what he and Barber have cooked up for Saturday could be a landmark production for the future of televised football.

“This might be a concept; you never know,” Gruden said. “This concept could be a game-changer in the broadcast booth.

“I mean, there’s been a conventional way; I sat up there for nine years and did it. Mike Tirico, there was a cadence. ‘First-and-10, it’s da-ta-da-ta-da-ta-da,’ and then you have to be timely in your responses and get out before the next play. But I think as long as we’re on the same page, we love Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We’re going to try to really educate the fans on some of the position battles, just the excitement of opening day in our stadium.”

Of course, Gruden and Barber didn’t disclose how they will handle the broadcast, but Barber gave a unique description.

“One of us is going to have our hand on the steering wheel,” Barber said. “I don’t know if either of us will be driving.”
