Chargers to pursue Arians, Jay Gruden?
Colts Offense - TM - Indianapolis Colts
Dec. 31, 2012 - 1:00 PM ET
Appearing on The Herd Monday, ESPN's Chris Mortensen mentioned Colts interim HC Bruce Arians and Bengals OC Jay Gruden as potential candidates for the Chargers' head-coaching vacancy.
Gruden would bring a conservative-style West Coast offense to San Diego. Arians, who is a legitimate candidate for NFL Coach of the Year after effectively holding down the fort in Indianapolis following Chuck Pagano's leukemia diagnosis, will be a hot commodity in the coming weeks. His offense is also more similar to Norv Turner's with a downfield passing attack and power running game, so there would be less of a transition for Philip Rivers.
