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

[CRedskinsRule]

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

[FRPLG]

They can't be serious about keeping Haz.

[redskins5044]

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

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

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

My thoughts exactly.

[FRPLG]

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.

[skinsfan69]

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

[chrisl13]

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...

Quick Takes: Jay Gruden - Washington Redskins Blog - ESPN

Keim

"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

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

Your are correct!

If we are to stick to the 3-4 we should have Wade Philips as DC instead.

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.
