How Long Will Jay Gruden Last This Season as Head Coach?

BA needs to be fired first and replaced by the scouting Director Kyle Smith.

Gruden fired next and replaced by O’Connell.

Let the NEW GM find a new DC along with O’Connell. Manusky needs to go ASAP. But with the right replacement.

All after the Patriots ass whooping.

I think you put Callahan as interim HC and turn over the offense completely to KOC so he can mesh with Haskins and be he sole playcaller. Then hire him the next year as the HC. I think the Browns did that with Freddie Kitchens.

Hes 34 years old, looks 34 years old and has very very limited experience and I just dont think he is anywhere near ready to be the HC for any NFL team, let alone this one.

Sean McVeigh is 33, he's doing okay I think.

Yeah ... I dont think that correlates though.

McVay has Wade Phillips as his D Coord and a GM in Les Snead who spent 14 years as a pro scout and 2 years as director of player personnel and now has been the GM for the Rams the last 7 years. The same Rams GM that pulled off the RG3 trade with us in his first year.

Could OConnell be as good as McVay? Sure
Here, with Bruce/Snyder picking the players and coaching staff? Hell no.

So does Jay Gruden have a coaching tree now with McVay and OConnell as disciples? The only thing jay does well is passing scheme and the only thing McVay and OConnell do is passing scheme ...

And that RG3 trade was a wash, those picks landed very avg players. Don't discredit McVay he's a damn good coach

This makes zero sense. Why would a new Gm come here and be forced to work w/ a coach that he probably doesn't want? Also Smith would in turn be the Gm since he's replacing Allen. SO what you're saying is put Smith as President and then hire a GM and make him work with incumbents? Then also make the new GM get a DC with a HC he probably doesn't want in the first place?? It sounds like your just want to fire guys w/out any plan. Keep your day job Warthog.. lol.

BA is listed as the Redskins Team President but is also acting as the GM. The first thing that needs to happen for the Redskins culture to change is for him to be fired. I suggested Kyle Smith because he’s the head of the scouting department and already in the Redskins organization. Smith has done a very good job with the team’s draft the last couple years. It is important to get someone competent into the GM job IMMEDIATELY because the team needs to trade guys like TW and others for DRAFT PICKS before the Oct 25 trading shutdown.

Gruden needs also to be replaced immediately. He’s not only coaching poorly but he’s making stupid decisions in order to get fired. If you move O’Connell into the HC position we actually can see how he does calling plays - since Gruden is doing it now instead of his OC. IDEALLY, you’d want the GM to make the HC decision, but there just isn’t time. Gruden and Manusky need to be fired ASAP.

Why the rush? Because the team needs to trade away as many older or expensive FA players like TW, Norman, Richardson and yes even Scherff to get as many draft picks for 2020 as they can. The offensive and defensive schemes need to be immediately improved so the new GM can evaluate players for their ability. Right now the offensive and defensive coaching (under Gruden and Manusky) is so bad, every player looks terrible.

Haskins and other rookies need to be played to get experience and to test their ability. Without getting a new GM, HC, DC right away you can’t fix the system enough to evaluate what they have or start the rebuilding process.

Hire Smith, O’Connell and a DC for this season only. See how they do with this season and then get into the post Season for the long-term contracts.

Only by Snyder giving full power to the GM can they get an elite prospect. Snyder’s reputation is justifiably terrible. Maybe Smith is the best the team can get for this season and as a long-term replacement. Same with the HC position. O’Connell May be all the team can get because of the team’s horrible reputation.
