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

At this point, I'm in with getting rid of Gruden, but under the condition that the entire thing gets blown up. I mean the entire thing! The front office, the coaching staff, the scouting team - blow it all up! No more Bruce Allen. When the new GM comes in, let him have full control over everything. He picks the head of scouting, he picks the head coach. He allows the head scout to interview to fill the positions he will manage. Same way with the head coach. The head coach's first job will be hiring his staff. The general manager will simply interview the top two candidates and make his recommendations, but the head coach and the head scout have the final say on who gets hired. Meanwhile, Dan Snyder sits in his office writing the checks and working on the new stadium deal - other than initially having to be involved with hiring the new GM. Other than that, Snyder doesn't get within arms length of any decision on player acquisitions or coaching. Contracts are worked out with the GM and maybe assistant GM (as was Charlie Casserly with Bobby Beathard), but nobody else. The new GM and new head coach will work together in deciding which players they plan to retain, and which ones they'll cut loose. But, they're welcome to gut the team if that must happen.

So, in short, this is what I'll accept. If you're going to make a change, make a complete change. Yes, there are quality guys within this organization, but sometimes, you need to just make a complete cut with the old and bring in the new. It would take some brass balls to go this postal, but I think this is the only way to go.
