Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins

Via Twitter: Looks like Fletcher endorsing Morris as DC

"@LFletcher59 (https://twitter.com/LFletcher59/status/421295877651980288) I think Morris as DC would be great choice! Brings energy & excitement! Would feel pretty good about HC, DC, & OC then!"

Def not an endorsement for Haz and that's for sure

Matty says 4pm press conf for gruden

I dont see Riley as a MLB in a 4-3. I see him and Kerrigan as Outside LBs. Orakpo and Bowen as the DEs. Coefield and possible Jenkins as the DT. I think we need to bring in 4-3 MLB and get a DT immediately.

I'd rather see both Rak and Kerrigan as DEs, have our own version of Freeney/Mathis in their primes.

I think Rak is a better DE , more like a Mathis was for Indy or is

W/out question...putting him in pass coverage was just stupid as stupid can be.

Def not an endorsement for Haz and that's for sure

No offense to Fletch, but his performance was not the best this season.

Went to check on a couple of stories on Washington Post concerning Gruden and come to find out that they've been limiting people to 20 free articles per month since June.

Granted it seems I can get around it with Incognito mode in Chrome but still the attempt to use paywall as a revenue stream is absurd. In terms of Redskins related news they weren't even in the top 5. It's beyond me how someone can get to an upper management position and not understand basic concepts concerning the internet. All they see is 'x amount of people read us online so if we charge them we'll be rich.' Sorry I know I'm late to this party but the stupidity of some of these companies is enough to drive me insane.

Anyway Jay Gruden. Good hire. Kind of preferred Wisenhunt but certainly not disappointed with JG. Slightly concerned that most of the staff is already in place. A little bit of deja vu from the Zorn train wreck. Would kind of like to see a switch back to the 4-3 but unfortunately we are very short on traditional linebackers right now, a problem which plagued the Eagles for many years after the death of Johnson.

I'd rather see both Rak and Kerrigan as DEs, have our own version of Freeney/Mathis in their primes.

I agree. I think that it is our most effective approach. Both Rak and Kerrigan are best with hands down.

Seen at Redskins Park this morning...

Let's roll with Jay Gruden and see where he takes us. I'm fine with the hire. Cautiously optimistic.
