If Gruden leaves for one of those vacancies, the obvious in-house candidate starts with Hue Jackson, who has been an offensive coordinator with the Washington Redskins, Atlanta Falcons, and Oakland Raiders.
In Washington ('03) and Atlanta ('07), Jackson's offenses ranked No. 23 (his Falcons offense had a scoring offense that ranked 29th). However, Oakland's offense ('10) ranked tenth and ninth (as a head coach in '11).
