Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins

^ sdskinsfan2001 acts like demoting Haslett is a bad thing! His defense sucked, he should be fired. Making him the linebackers coach is his best option. Does anyone think he would get a job as a DC on any other team this year? Hell NO!

I did not say I was for or against him staying. Jay Gruden is the head coach, and I think that he should pick his coaching staff. If he wants Haslett to be DC then I'm ok with that, if he wants to fire him completely I'm more than fine w/ that.

Maybe he will want to stay, I don't know the guy obviously, but from my perspective I would have a hard time remaining at my current job if I got demoted. I'd rather have the same job (where I was demoted to) somewhere else.

There may be a lot of reasons why Haslett would want to stay, even if he is no longer the DC. Yes, LB coach would be a demotion but. if he wants to stay in D.C. and he likes the people he would be working with, the public perception might not bother him that much. There may also be compelling personal reasons why he would like to stay in this area.

I see no reason why he wouldn't be a fine LB coach and contributor in defensive game planning.

The primary issue I have with him as DC is his play calling in crunch time.

I have no problem with him staying, it just seems like an interesting situation to me. I guess if Haslett is fine w/ the demotion then it won't be a huge deal. As I mentioned previously, I want Gruden to fill his staff as he sees fit, as long as everyone 100% buys into their roles. I don't want in-house fighting.

Personally, I'd prefer for Morris to be DC, seems like he gets the players to respond to him. What I would like even more, is to get some real talent on defense. Make any coaches life better.

If Gruden stays with a 3-4 defense then Hasslett should be let go (or not DC). I believe Morris should not experienced enough with a 3-4 defense to be DC. I just hope Gruden does not stay with a 3-4 defense....hasn''t worked for us in 4 years....

Difference between us and them is that they get paid millions of dollars plus there are only so many of these NFL coaching jobs. The move was made so fast that Gruden didn't even realize what happened. Hell he hasn't even watched any Redskins tape.

Neither did the 4-3. That's why we switched to the 3-4 in the first place.

Whether he actually gets to or not, I don't know, but I would prefer if he did. Just my perspective.

At his presser Gruden said he would pick his own coaches.

yeah I remember that but I really wonder if he or Allen has final say. I pray Snyder isnt involved.

Dude you're the most pessimistic Debbie Downer around here.
