    The Cincinnati Bengals are turning to Jay Gruden to guide their offense, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter. The team fired longtime offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski on Monday.

    The Bengals' decision to hire Gruden was first reported by Profootballtalk.com.

    Gruden, the younger brother of ESPN analyst Jon Gruden, was an offensive assistant with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2002 to 2008 while his brother was the coach.

    He coached the Virginia Destroyers of the United Football League in 2010 after leading the UFL's Florida Tuskers in 2009. He also has coached in the Arena Football League, winning AFL titles with the Orlando Predators in 1998 and 2000.
