By Popular Demand. Should the Skins FIRE Jay Gruden? Thread

[NC_Skins]

It's funny you bring this up because this is currently a topic being discussed on the Junkies this morning. I have to agree with them on the fact they don't believe he's the long term answer for the Redskins to get them over the hump. They don't blame him for this year due to the injuries, but have seen enough in the bad decision making to know he's not the answer. That's pretty much how I feel.

Yep he's another Norv Turner, someone that can get 10 wins every so often but mainly a 7 or 8 win guy

Except, Norv Turner would get 7 or 8 wins with having most of his team healthy. Norv would take a 14-2 team and turn them into a 10-6 team, and eventually an 8-8 team. Norv never had to deal with the amount of injuries, at least not from what I remember, like what Gruden has had to deal with this year. And Norv had a better GM to work with.

Gruden hasn't been dealt a great hand. He's lost two 1000 yard receivers. His 1000 yard tight end never plays. He's went through running backs like they're disposable. The entire offensive line is injured. His number one draft pick out on IR. Other key members of the defense injured. Poor special teams play. Yet, Gruden has kept the team fighting hard, but eventually there's just too much to overcome. Firing Gruden won't fix anything.

I don't know that we'll ever see a 14-2 skins team again, I'm 30 and I damn near have given up hope the rest of my life.
