How Long Will Jay Gruden Last This Season as Head Coach?

he'll last the year because the team will stay fairly competitive but after a playoff-less season he will be fired.

This isn't the year 2000, if Zorny can make it through a year so can Gruden.

I forget who said it in another thread but I also agree it would be better if the team were realistic about their goals this year. You have a stopgap qb playing until the rookie is ready, it doesn't matter who's under center the playoffs are unrealistic.

Playoffs are best case scenario assuming all the young unproven talent puts it together and produces. We should know by now that is rarely the case. Let's just try to build a winning team again.

The Redskins have drafted well over the last two years. They’ve also been lucky with walk on undrafted players or very low draft picks who didn’t just make the team but may even become stars in the years ahead. Trey Quinn (7th), Robert Davis(6th) and Stephen Sims (UFA) will surprise the NFL this year because of their low start. But it takes more than one year for WR to reach their potential. This team will need to play these rookies to get them to the next level for next year. That includes the top ranked draftees like Haskins, Sweat and McLaurin.

I don’t care how we do this year as long as we coach up the new guys - because next year they’ll be ready to play well and win.

If the Redskins stay on target for a 6-10 or another 7-9 season, why would Snyder keep Gruden all season? I think the team will select a new HC from within, either the DC or the Offensive Coordinator, Kevin O’Connell. So if the team is posting another losing season why not bring in the new HC during the middle of a rebuilding year?

Gruden’s best chance of staying all the way through another losing season is if he starts playing Haskins early and it looks like Gruden is helping him develop as a QB.

The team started this year with a youth movement. There are only a few starting players who have more than 5 years in the team. Rookies are showing up in key starting positions, and as the season progresses I think we’ll see even more rookies brought in to start games. The youth movement may include bringing in a new younger HC like Kevin O’Connell. What do you think?

The Redskins pulled TE Holtz off the PS so he can be available against the Eagles and released WR Robert Davis. I guess Gruden figures that no one will pick up Davis until Reed starts playing again while going through the NFL Concussion Process.

My question is this: why risk losing Davis , who had a TD catch this PS and a Smoking Hot preseason and TC? Why not put Gruden favorite, Colt McCoy out there instead of Davis?. Colt is hurt and no one will want him. Davis could be a key ST and WR player this season and someone may take a chance on him due to his young age and potential!


This is really a questionable move by Gruden, especially if we lose Davis!

He'll last the season.

Definitely

After this team goes 10 and 6, he'll get a 3 year extension in the off season.

Dank bud out in Colorado?

He will coach all season. There is ZERO chance he is fired mid season.

He will coach all season. There is ZERO chance he is fired mid season.I don't think anyone can say there is zero chance that he gets fired during the season. If things get ugly enough there is a possibility that Dan could fire him.

I do think there is a chance that he would get fired mid-season, but things would have to get really ugly. Imagine if they are something like 0-8 or 0-9 heading into the bye week, i would imagine that Jay has a chance of getting fired on the bye week. But it is a really small chance, as i believe Dan Snyder has went on record and said that he would never again fire a coach during the season. Although it is Dan, you never know.

Realistically i think Jay finishes the season, and is fired on "Black Monday".

Jay needs to make the playoffs to keep his job, IMO...
