Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins

I am happy they got a move done quickly, tho. Now we can start moving on.

I don't know about that I like the idea of Rak with his hand in the dirt he will dominate there, have Rob Jackson and Kerrigan as the OLB's Riley and Robinson in the Middle (or draft Shayne Skov) and then have the pass rush specialist Chris Jenkins out of FSU we drafted last year as the other starting DE or Bowen. Cofield and Jarvis Jenkins would be great 4-3 tackles.

If we're only going to move one of Ryan or Brian to DE, you picked the right one. Kerrigan seems to have a knack for batting balls and getting INTs around or behind the line of scrimmage from the LB position. Orakpo has one great talent, pass rushing.

Is there something I dont know about why Haslett is still here? Like was Shanahan forcing him to call bad plays and have bad schemes and hes good otherwise?

I think him staying is bigger news that us hiring a coach

Same could be said for him getting this job in the first place. I guess it wasnt hos fault he sucked everywhere he ever went. Im happy about Gruden but i hope Haz is on a damn short leash.

Me too, we reached out and got alot of input and reached a decision quick. So much for this is toxic job nobody wanted. Figured Tampa and Houston, the best jobs first, would go and then us. Detroit, Minny, and Cleveland, the worst jobs, still available.

Same old crap, Gruden was already pencilled in as head coach before the season ended and the interviews were purely for show.

Hate it.

I agree. The hiring process started so well and then ran into the ditch.

But if luck is on our side and Gruden turns out to be the right man, the process won't matter...or so says the optimist in me.

Nice Fleetwood Mac sig btw.

The same way Andy Reid, Chip Kelly, and Bill O'Brien were hired. So what's so terrible about this?

Lets atleast give the guy a few hours. Lmao

only time will tell if it will work out. just like any hire if works the way the did is brilliant and if it fails it was the same old redskins. BTW Bobby Bethard hired Joe Gibbs that way, he told him he had the job and just interviewed other guys for show.

Only someone as persistently negative as you are would even be thinking of that right now.


What should I be thinking? Enlighten me with your positivism.

14 years of ownership.
8 head coaches.
2 playoff win.
0 super bowls.
failure, price of admission.

Yeah, I said on the locked thread that I'd be happy if this JG has half the success of the last JG.

Nice spot on the sig btw. :)
