Who Do You Want to Be The Head Coach?

Gruden has no business getting an HC gig though. His play-calling is uninspiring, he shows nothing on the sidelines, and a drunk driver is the last thing the undisciplined guys need in a leader. Better than Mike and Kyle? Probably. But my hope with Jay would be some kind of agreement that his brother will come in after him, probably after two subpar seasons. Given how little interest we've garnered from A list prospects I'm wondering if out next HC will just be a placeholder type.

Was today the first time you ever watched the Bengals ?

So basically, you don't know much about him.

The development of RG3 should be the top priority.....the offense ran in Seattle with Bevell is similar to what the Redskins ran previously.....I don't think our focus should be a defensive guy.....Bevell would hire the right defensive coordinator if he doesn't retain Haslett.....

Jay Gruden is another Norv Turner......great OC but make a weak HC.....

Where do you get this stuff from? He has never been a head coach in the NFL.

@Redskins: Search continues as #Redskins confirm Ravens OC Jim Caldwell interviewed with team officials for head coach position today. #HTTR

Dalton is the problem. He's just good enough to get you there, but can't take you over the top.

Romo and Dalton. The "can't close the deal" QBs.

So the war for postseason media circus begins..

Regarding Jay Gruden as a possible candidate -> he's free now that Cincinnati lost. Admittedly I don't know much about him, except Jon's made his last name a well known commidity. During his years as assistant coach in Tampa, he was arrested for drunk driving in Florida... Seems like much of his experience has been in Arena Football, except the past few years in Cincinnati, and a few years as asst coach w his brother. Is he qualified enough & do we want any more of a media circus with him?

Why would there be any more of a media circus with Jay Gruden as opposed to any other candidate? And what would make him less qualified than the other coaching candidates?

I think Jay has the personality to be a good HC. Norv was just a dud and not a leader.

Well this week will tell us who they are leaning towards. I'm sure they will interview Gruden, Whisenhut, Zimmer and maybe Jackson. But if the Chris Russell rumors are true that they want a coach with HC experience they won't be hiring this week unless it's Caldwell or someone we haven't heard yet. Personally I think Whisenhut goes to Detroit.

They won't be interviewing Whisenhunt this week.
