Im a Jay Gruden fan to a degree. He wasnt in the top 5 of the list of problems for his time here. Injuries and never getting a good D Coord (no one wanted to come work for Allen and Skins) railroaded our chances when we had Kirk.
7-9
7-9
8-7-1
^^ not bad results for the injuries we had. I dont agree with making Jay the scape goat and reason for this teams ails.
Hed be a great OC just not a HC for a team like this.
edit - Im not letting this DOA year where he clearly threw in the towel to color his entire time here. jay was better than we deserved just wasnt the right guy for this job.

Jay, as a skins coach, was 35-49-1.
I dont care about excuses such as injuries. I just dont care. It was 100% on bruce allen and jay.
Other teams have injuries, and make the playoffs. Our seasons declined steadily with jay at the helm..
The amount of times we came into a game or into the 2nd half without making any adjustments, or any solid gameplan was mind blowing.
Bottom line, good coaches win. Bad coaches dont.
To say he is a great/good coach, but follow that with his statistical .418 winning percentage is like saying stalin was a good guy aside from his questionable politics.
I blame Jay's practices and light hearted attitude towards preparation to blame for the amount of injuries, and our ineptitude on third downs and second half performances. He was way in over his head as a head coach...it just added to the total cluster fuck this org. Has become over the last decade.
