Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins

[skinsnut]

I have waited to vote until we saw if Gruden retained Haslett.

I voted, I don't like the hire

Now that he has retained Haslett...and even talked about "extension"....we have seen the complete lack of leadership that I feared was possible...rather than putting his foot down for the benefit of the team, he has retained the leader of the worst Redskins defense I have ever seen...why?....because he couldn't get the linebacker coach from Cincinnati.

It looks to me like Gruden hires who he knows...not who is best. There are probably 31 defensive coordinators that are better than Haslett today...and probably a dozen position coaches that would be better. I am disappointed but not suprised that they are keeping Haslett....I am SHOCKED that gruden spoke of an extension....and it shows very bad common sense to express publicly that you wanted to get the linebackers coach from Cincinnati, but didn't because he was promoted over there to defensive coordinator...what a blow to confidence in Haslett...hopefully, the comment about extending him was just a way to try to boost team confidence in Haslett...but good luck with that...even Fletcher expressed joy when he thought Haslett was no longer going to be the coordinator.

Gruden is creating a problem on the defensive side even before day one...it looks like more drama for Redskins park...YAY!

The Redskins are FOOLS for not getting a new defensive coordinator this year!
