You can't bring in a guy to undertake a culture change as serious as this one but also think of him as a stop gap. That doesn't make any sense. Nobody was going to come in here and turn things around on a dime. It's a 3-5 year project. Dan has to give him a legit opportunity to right the ship otherwise we're back to square one. Gruden had almost 6 seasons here, why wouldn't Ron get a similar opportunity?

Changing an organization that has been a complete disaster for 20+ years in only 3-5 years would be turning it around on a dime. If Gruden got 6 years RR should also get that.
I think a big part of Ron's problem is that he's not used to the tough media climate in the DMV. IMO the media is Charlotte was much more deferential to Ron than the media here in DC and Ron doesn't like and isn't used to being questioned as thoroughly and harshly as he is by the DC media.
