Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins

Judging by this facial expression, you think Jay is having second thoughts?.....lol

I was not happy that my new coach reminded me of Vinny......at all. Lol

After last season this team needs to stay low and out of the spotlight a while. Screw Hard Knocks.

LOL. I was just thinking on the way in to work, shit I hope we are not chosen to be on Hard Knocks......

Can anyone verify this:

Its strange how the more Haz/Shanny guys turned over on the roster, the more they struggled. Sorry folks, dont insult me by listing crap stats and then somehow trying to re write history saying Defense wasnt an issue. Haz is not a not a good DC, he is just as responsible for the skins record as Shanny. This isnt a case where the defense showed up and the offense never did. Please dont feed me that bullshit.

The defense had some really bad games this year, but one of the things that hurt the perception of the defense is that fans tend to lump defense and special teams together as one when they say "defense." And our defense and special teams combined has never been worse in the history of the franchise than it was this year.

Haslett, of course, does not coach the special teams, and the defense, while below average for an NFL unit, has not underachieved its talent level since he has been here.

DC we need to consider right now:

1.Gregg Williams
2.Ray Horton
3.Wide Phillips
4.Todd Bowles (if somehow he wanted to come to Washington)

So continue the course with Haz in place?

So continue the course with Haz in place?Depends on his contract situation. And what the head coach thinks.

If he's in the last year of his deal, I'd terminate and find someone else. If he has multiple years remaining, I'd stick with him in 2014.

I gotta disagree Tripp. We finished 31st in defense in 2013 - are there really 30 other teams with more talent on defense than us? Same argument goes for 2012, etc.

While we need talent, especially in the secondary, IMO the talent argument is quite limited.

Featuring Sally Jenkins as Daisy Duke.

Ah man...don't ruin Daisy Duke's good name like that! LOL! :lol:

I understand the disappointment that some of you guys have with the notion that Jim Haslett is staying on as DC - at least for now. Believe me, it was a WTF moment for me as well. I would much rather Gruden bring in someone completely different to coach that side of the ball, but man, it is what it is. Let's see what Haslett and company can do with some better free agents this season.

So, can anybody confirm the coaches, other than the Shanahans of course, that were let go? Burns (ST) and who else?
