Jon Gruden is hardly a defensive coach. That's why Tampa traded for him after Dungy, so he could get their offense to the level needed to win the Super Bowl. In fact Gruden has only ever coached offense in the NFL. The ESPN deal is leverage of course to get the biggest deal/most control possible. Doesn't mean he wants to leave ESPN, just that it's a really nice chip to have in negotiations.
