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

[Schneed10]

Gruden's record with McVay and his record without McVay speaks volumes.

His complete inability to field a competitive defense over FOUR SEASONS also is damning. He doesn't know how to hire a defensive coordinator.

He also has one of the worst RZ % over that 4 year span, we are in the bottom 10 over the years in RZ scoring, that won't beat many teams

I got an idea. Let's call three consecutive fades.

To be fair, they've gotten a bit better this year. Cousins has improved in his ability to extend plays.

But the tendency to use Cousins as a runner around the goalline is scary. It's going to get him hurt. Those read option calls can be effective but I feel like Jay uses them as a crutch.

The Redskins are near the bottom in that time span converting 3rd or 4th and 2 or less, that will lead to issues in the red zone.

Because Gruden doesn't have the power to hire his defensive coordinator. Bruce Allen does all the hiring and firing. He may have Gruden involved in the interview process, but Allen ultimately decides who he wants in there coaching. That is all on Bruce Allen, NOT on Jay Gruden.

Again I'd rather have Jerry Jones run my team

I haven't seen anything to brag about with Jerry Jones. Yes, the Cowboys have had a couple really good seasons in the past decade. They have also had several losing seasons and 8-8 seasons.

They are 20 games over 500 in the last 10 years, I'd take that.

He also knows how to build a team, they have a ton of young talent at key positions.

If you’re wishing for a new owner why Jones instead of Kraft? Might as well go for the best in the biz vs a guy who would make you just a little better than you are now.

In a 16 game season, that averages out to probably around 9-7 each year. That's pretty much what we already have.

It has taken Jones how long to build said team? And even so, the team might still miss the playoffs this year. Honestly, Jones, no thanks.

That's not accurate. Jay selected Manusky.

We suck on 3rd and 4th downs, we suck in the redzone, and we suck at the end of halfs and games. Those are all very critical to winning games. 4 years is no small sample size. Gruden just isn't getting it done. And on top of it, his answers to questions are mind blowing. Teams reflect the personality of their coach. Gruden literally admitted to quitting during the game. Eff that. No wonder we keep getting smoked. We need a no non-sense hard nosed coach. We've needed that for a long time. I'd rather actually hire a defensive coach to be HC. We keep hiring offensive guys.

The whole O/S

*McVay leaving
* Scot fired
* PG/Djax Leaving
* KC contract
* Cravens AWOL

All have damaged this team and then on top of that you throw in a horrible roster of wr's, injuries mount up, NEW DEFENSE that still sucks..

All of that is hard to get over, and when your HC is already having issues in critical moments of games , non of that helps.

Another stat I saw the other day was the skins are the worst team in the league under 2mins on BOTH sides of the ball.

We give up the most and score the least in 2min situations, that is not acceptable, and yes that is on coaching.

That's a very damning stat and not very surprising. Hard to win games if you're last in that stat. Basically means you have a very low chance of winning close games. So unless you can blowout every team you're screwing yourself.
