Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins

Just to add insult to injury, they keep the town idiot in Haslett and fired the best coach we had in coach Bobby Turner. This guy has been a miracle worker, for years. How stupid is that.

Complete and utter speculation on my part, I think the FO liked what Turner did with the RB's and wanted to keep him in spite of his long and substantial ties to Shanny, but that, once the leaks kept on coming, all eyes focused on him. IMHO, he was just the final purge in the night of long knives.

As for Haslett, he and Gruden worked together before. Same can't be said of Gruden and Turner.

Beat reporters said this was a foregone conclusion once Shanny was fired. He's a Shanahan guy, has been for years and years. Great coach, sorry to lose him.
