Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 46s
Redskins have hired Jay Gruden as their HC. Done deal.

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

Woot.

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

Yes!!

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

He was my number my number 2 after Seattle OC

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

Sounds good to me.

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

So does that mean Jim Hasslet is still the Defensive head coach? UGH!

Yes

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

I like it. I was hoping for Gruden or Wisenhunt. Also it looks like Haslett is staying as DC. Interested to see who Gruden brings in for the rest of his staff.

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

WOW, got my guy!

Part of me wanted to go away from anyone with connections with the current staff- but I reallllllly liked Gruden.

Very excited- I think his offense and coaching style will mesh well with this team. Wahoo!:woot:

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

I wish that the hiring process were allowed to carry on to the designed end, rather than halting once Gruden was in the building. We never interviewed folks like Zimmer and Roman.

But it is what it is. Forward!

(As discussed here but):

Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora 9s
Jim Haslett will remain the Redskins D coordinator in Washington, according to sources on Jay Gruden's new staff

Eh not real excited. Hope it works out and if he keeps Haslett that's a fucking joke

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

Haslett...{sigh}. Hopefully we move back to a 4-3 then.

Could go down as the biggest f*cking mistake of the Danny Era

That irks me, a lot.

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

Sean McVay becomes OC!

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

Is there something I dont know about why Haslett is still here? Like was Shanahan forcing him to call bad plays and have bad schemes and hes good otherwise?

I think him staying is bigger news that us hiring a coach

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

Ok, well we know where we stand. Hey Gruden, I hope you can get Griffin and company to score 45 a game because this defense will be giving up 35 a game.

If I watch the Redskins play next year I will watch when their offense takes the field then turn to another channel when they go on defense so I don't throw stuff at my TV.

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

Now Shefter saying:

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter 59s
Redskins TE coach Sean McVay is expected to become Washington's OC, per league sources, Raheem Morris the likely defensive coordinator.

Ahhh Twitter....

well- maybe it was the players. Who the hell knows.

Time to start spending some cash money. We have a weak enough division hopefully next year to rebound.

EDIT: Pleassseee no Haslett

So no Haslett??? YES!!!

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

If Gruden holds onto Haslett after all this mess, we're definitely not starting off on the right foot.

Haslett needs to go now, thats a Danny Boy move if he stays and Im pissed

If Haslett stays I will be sick. My only hope is its JLC who is as often wrong as he is right about the skins

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

They can't be serious about keeping Haz.

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

Haslett prob will stay as asst. HC to help him Gruden with the HC duties.

Probably due to the history between Haslett and Gruden back with the Florida Tuskers in `09.

Of course now it's looking like Raheem Morris will be DC now....

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

Sean McVay as offensive coordinator who is TWENTY SEVEN. Holy crap I'm old and unsuccessful.

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins

hate this. but they say it was moreso the personnel we had than the coaching so we shall see.

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

Well the narrative about Haz was that Shanny was interfering on D since he let KS run the O and therefore had nothing else to do. We also rarely spent any money on the D. SO Haz was pretty hamstrung. BUT...his D has never been good. Here or anywhere else.

If it helps, you are also older than 35% of NFL players, and Justin Beiber.

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

Obviously he was their guy. They got the guy they wanted so let's see what happens!

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

I dont know how to feel about Sean McVay. He's been heavily endorsed and said to be on the up and coming but I guess we must wait and see...

"6.I know Jay Gruden’s brother, Jon, is high on Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins. During an interview I had with him before the Monday night game against San Francisco, Jon Gruden brought up his name unprompted. Does that mean his brother is equally high on Cousins? Don’t know. I do know he preferred Andy Dalton over Colin Kaepernick when they both came out of college. But Gruden said that was more because Dalton was much closer to being ready to play immediately. A number of teams liked Kaepernick, but felt he was more of a project. What does it mean for Robert Griffin III? One person involved in the process said if Gruden could turn Dalton into a playoff quarterback, what could he do with Griffin? We might find out soon. Also, Griffin was a consensus top-2 pick, so we're not talking a direct comparison and that Gruden somehow does not like this style of quarterback. Most coaches like quarterbacks who have talent. Griffin remains the most talented one on the Redskins'"

hmmm

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

I'm fine with the Jay Gruden hire, experienced NFL OC from a team that has had three straight playoff appearances with a 30-18 record in a competitive AFC North. He has made something out of nothing in Andy Dalton. We didn't go for the splashy hire, retread coach, some guy out of retirement or a college coach experiment.

That would be saying a lot. Or you don't remember Spurrier and Zorn.

While the media has tried it's best to spin what I'm
about to say as negatively as possible, there's no way Jay Gruden would have been hired, let alone hired this quickly, if the organization as well as Jay weren't completely dead-set on Griff being the starting qb they build this offense around. No way around that

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins
 

I'll say this about Haz. At various times our D looked absolutely outclassed and incapable of doing anything. That's reflective of the talent more than anything. Knowing that and considering at times they also looked almost good for stretches perhaps maybe Haz did a better job than we think given the talent level, Note: this is my eternal optimism shining through I am pretty sure.

For everyone that's down on Dalton, he actually had some monster games this year. He had 33 td's, his turnovers were obviously up but let's not act like Dalton is a garbage QB. He's made the playoffs every year and his numbers got better every year. To me that's a positive. Whether Gruden prefers Griff's style over a Cousins type? ...we'll see. But I would also think that Gruden isn't going to be loyal to either guy.
