Same philosophy same results

Greg Manusky must prove Washington Redskins made right hire to run D - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN (http://www.espn.com/blog/washington-redskins/post/_/id/29876/redskins-make-logical-hire-greg-manusky-must-prove-its-the-right-one)

Agree with Keim here that this move must work or it's likely going to cost Gruden big. Of course McCloughan is a big piece here too, we need some serious upgrades on the defensive side from free agency and the draft this offseason.

I might be wrong, but I like Gruden as our coach. I want to extend him and SM, but I agree, he better be right here. Hiring the right assistants is a huge part of the job.

Not extending Gruden might have cost us one of the big names. If this was the plan all along then what wait 2 weeks? Nobody wants a one year gig. Gruden might be out the door after next season if we stink.

I think Gruden has to win at least 8 games or he's gone. He will likely have another QB to try and do that with too. it's going to be hard, but he can do it if we have even an above average defense next year to take pressure off the QB.

You are the ultimate troll.

You are the ultimate troll.

All due respect, but piss off. How am I a troll by pointing out the obvious? We have never had a HC longer than 4 seasons since Snyder has owned the team. Next year is year 4. Are you aware of that? I'm just saying Gruden is going to have to have another winning season IMO to have a chance at either returning for year 5, or getting his extension. But you might be a smart person, would you extend your HC next season if he goes 6-10 or worse?

If we don't win at least 9 next year I'd be shocked. I think we're actually going to be a threat next year. SM has set us up perfectly for this off season. We have money and extra picks. 2017 is gonna be a good year for us. HTTR.

Yeah I would agree I am also optimistic. However, given the cap space and given how good the offense has been, I'd say the team MUST take a step forward or I would support ownership in making changes.

The team has done a great job building a base of talent without committing a ton of funds. And Gruden has orchestrated a very, very good offense. But now that we're in this tremendous position, it's time to move forward full steam ahead. I need to see 10-6 or else.

If we win any less than 9 Snyder can do whatever he wants. I've always been on his side. He's made tons of choices I didn't agree with, but I believe he loves this team. I'd take him every day of the week and twice on Sunday's over most owners.

Schneed, I think you'd agree. Given our talent level overall, finishing above .500 2 years is a row is pretty good. Especially in overall context, instead of thinking of individual games that we didn't win that we could of. We had a lot of holes and still won more than we lost while also setting us up to make big strides this off seaaon. I just want some continuity at HC. Unless we just completely shit the bed, and the defense still sucks under Manusky, I don't want a new HC again. I think Jay and Scott can do good things together.
