Typical, the curse of the Danny strikes again...guess the younger fans can take solace in that they will hopefully outlive the little bastard.

Seems to me the more reason for Gruden to make RG3 work.

I still think he's here one more year. And then he's gone

Was your last statement meant to mean you think he will fail next year, or that if he fails next year he will be gone? It seems to be the former.

It means I don't think he'll make enough of an impression to make it to year 3. I've heard a lot of people say he's got 2 years to prove himself. People with influential power

I think that if we improve the oline and db's - get a real DC, and we win even 7-9 games that he will get another year to draft a qb.

I can understand that. If you put two consecutive losing seasons together then it's hard to justify keeping. Unless improvement is shown

[SolidSnake84]

Everything i've seen and read says that Gruden is gone at the end of the season. One article said that a "furious" Snyder considered firing Gruden in the days following the RG3 benching, but he was basically talked down by Bruce Allen and other top advisors.

It was made clear that the next Head Coach is not going to have much say / input on personnel decisions, and one of the first issues addressed when they go out and get a new HC is that RG3 is the unquestionable starter.

I kind of wonder who they are going to find. In my opinion as of late people aren't exactly breaking down the door wanting to work for the redskins...

And here lies the problem.

I don't see that as a problem. He ought to be able to show substantial progress in two years if he's any good.

Even if he succeeds next year or shows great improvement he's still gone? If so. ... Im done with this franchise

Isn't that worst possible scenario? Either he's worth giving 3 yrs as a legit coach deserves, or he's not and you go find one that is now.

Out of curiosity, who was Gruden's first choice?

Buddy Cianci Junior High

or maybe it was the Titans. I forget

It reflects poorly on us that he'd rather go to the Titans than us.

In other news, the notion that Jake Locker will wear the b&g next year has gained traction, at least in my head.

I don't think so. He and his wife have a strong connection the state. He likes the south, and it's just more his speed.

It was less about the organization, more about everything else surrounding it.
