Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins

[skinsnut]

My main concern is still defense. It has sucked for years. Sticking with our current staff just doesn't make sense. I mean...the first few games I think we had the worst defense in last 50 years in the whole NFL. But now, because they hired Gruden...he's got links to all of them....and I believe Haslett was a prior boss. I just hate all the inbreeding at Redskins park. I was frankly hoping for a coach to come in and clear house defensively and special teams....it would have made more sense, based on performance, to retain Kyle and cut Hasslet (who chronically has bad defenses) and the special teams coach.

Keeping our defensive coachies..ie doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of stupidity. I sure hope Gruden has the balls to cut Haslett. That would show a lot. At that point, he will gain my respect....and probably the players too.

Waiting for the pansy bashing for suggesting a coach can motivate without being dishonerable

They're grown men. You think the Cowher's, Tomlin's, Belichick's, and Harbough's etc don't drop a f bomb when they're upset with the execution of a practice.

Judging by this facial expression, you think Jay is having second thoughts?.....lol

Is there a defensive coordinator we could pick up that is not on the team that would be better than anyone on our staff?....heck...I would randomly select a position coach from Seattle, San Fran, Carolina

Horton, Spagnuolo, Schwartz, Morris, Frazier.

I saw that...the BIG EYES were in response to 2 questions in a row about RG3....his expression was like MAN...are you serious? RG3, RG3, RG3...how about some coaching questions...I don't want to chronically be asked about a single player.

It looked like he was a bit suprised about the press' infatuation with RG3 and may be thinking these press meetings are going to be a bigger pain in the butt than he thought

He just looks exhausted to me. He went through 36 hours of interview, job negotiation, press conference, talking to reporters...I'd be bleary eyed too.

I dont know about anyone else, but is anyone else pumped about the possibility of finally having a spread offense in Washington. Thank you lord. I wouldn't be surprised if players like A. Robinson play well if kept. Imagine the possibility of Morris running against 6-7 man boxes. Instead of congesting the the field.

kinda cool...but...how does any of this solve our defensive problems....I mean our defense is a disaster...I think the bigger news would be if we somehow score a Wade Phillips or something.

Remember 4 years ago when Shanny and Allen were hired?
People were more pumped about finally having a GM than a Superbowl coach.
Why?...because it was more desperately needed.
I think after it is all said and done, the defensive fix (if there is one) will be the more impactful decision.

Regardless of what styles of offenses this team uses or who the HC is, the defense has to change.......Jarvis Jenkins, Barry Cofield, Brian Orakpo, and Ryan Kerrigan would make a bad ass four man front....they are all natural 4-3 personnel......have Perry Riley Jr. as the MLB, Rob Jackson as ROLB and perhaps Brandon Jenkins as the LOLB......the secondary needs to be totally rebuilt....
