Good to hear this...

Talked to Gruden's agent. Two things mattered most: Familiarity with staff. And RG3 potential.

I really have to question this move.

We have the 9th ranked offense and the 18th ranked defense that gave up 30 pnts/game, so we get rid of our offensive coaches for someone who had a WORSE ranked offense than ours and retain the DC?

I will say that Cincy averaged more points than us, so that is good. I am not totally down on Gruden but it is clear to me that he must have been our #1 choice all along. The only 3 coaches they don't fire are the ones that have connections to Gruden? The ONLY reason they kept Haslett is to help lure Gruden and that is some backwards ass thinking to me.

Don't try to sell me on the Shanny interfered with Haslett's defense theory. He could have walked away anytime the last 4 years if that was the case.

As for him not having the right players, we spent multiple high picks on Defense and brought in the defensive FAs we could afford. I'm sure as DC he had input on these players. My point is if it was personnel problem then Haslett and the salary cap penalty had as much to do with it as Shanny.

I am happy they got a move done quickly, tho. Now we can start moving on.

Me too, we reached out and got alot of input and reached a decision quick. So much for this is toxic job nobody wanted. Figured Tampa and Houston, the best jobs first, would go and then us. Detroit, Minny, and Cleveland, the worst jobs, still available.

I think him staying is bigger news that us hiring a coach

Same could be said for him getting this job in the first place. I guess it wasnt hos fault he sucked everywhere he ever went. Im happy about Gruden but i hope Haz is on a damn short leash.

Lets atleast give the guy a few hours. Lmao

Well Adam S. just said Gruden decided to come to WSH for many reasons but one main reason was RG3... So i guess the Kirk cousin fans are upset

So if 3 years ago I said our next head coach would be a former OC whose family member won a superbowl would anyone have guessed Jay Gruden?

I don't think anyone would have guessed that.

Jon looks great for his age to have a 46-year old son.

He must be on the Jay Cutler diet.

artmonkforhallofamein07 · 01-09-2014, 02:14 PM

No because jay is Jon's brother

skinsfaninok · 01-09-2014, 02:21 PM

That's amazing that Jon was making babies while he was a baby.

It's tough raising kids and going to elementary school at the same time.
