Congrats, but be careful. I've never had good luck with the second try, but I hope you do.

the more I read about Scot, the more I like him...

"he loves big Hog-like linemen"

I can't wait to see that transformation starting to take shape.

JPPT1974 · 01-10-2015, 06:46 PM

Good luck to him and welcome to DC!

I love this move, and it sets up for the future. But in order to transform this team, we'd need 3-4 good drafts before we feel the effects of McCloughan. Even achieving the impossible & hitting ProBowlers on 7 out of 7 this year alone -- they would still take 2-3 years to develop.

With our bad Oline, incompetent secondary, aging Dline and questionable QB play -- we'd need the stars to align quickly next year to be competitive. The only way we're good next year is if RG3 plays a lot better/stays healthy and a new D Coach somehow schemes the D to a top 10 overnight.

BUT - more realistically we're looking at a 2-3 year turnaround, and if we continue to suck next year, then Gruden may be on the hot seat.

Wouldnt be surprised. The question I'm wondering, who will make the call to fire Gruden? And who decides on the new hire Snyder, McClough, or,even, Allen?

SFREDSKIN · 01-11-2015, 12:16 AM

I think by this time next year people will be loving Gruden instead of asking when will he be fired.

Eh, I dunno if I'd say people would be singing his praises. But I do think there'll be a vast improvement from this season. No, that doesn't necessarily mean playoffs, but I don't think we'll be the absolute laughing stock of the league next year.

Hiring Single T the year after Gruden gets here is probably the most fortuitous thing that's ever happened to the latter's career. Scot has been a part of three successful teams and is the main guy responsible for building San Francisco... he's obviously better at his job than Allen or AJ Smith. If he's able to do his thing here(gotta wonder if he really knows what he's getting into) and Gruden is able to coach...

Heard Cooley sitting in on the Kevin and Tom show yesterday. K & T were remarking the positive comments about the Dan in the interview with SM coming from Scott. Basically, they were saying they did not understand why these guys spoke so highly of Dan since they already had the job. No need to brown nose the boss with BS.
Cooley stepped in and stated "you guys don't get it. Everybody loves Dan. He's a great guy". The fans don't like him but everybody who meets him thinks he is a great guy........
weird....

Bishop Hammer · 01-11-2015, 12:54 AM

I think given the proper tools Gruden can be a good coach. I pick up a Kubiac vibe, he"ll coach The Skins to the playoffs on a regular basis but not deep post-season runs.

Considering Was has only made the playoffs thrice the past two decades it would be a big step up.

As fans, we judge our like/dislike based on wins. I have found myself in the past saying "I hate Dan Snyder", but that is a simplified version of it all. I have no clue if Dan is a good guy or not, he may be a great guy to have as a friend. I dont actually hate the guy, I just wish we had a different owner. Its just easier to say "I hate Dan Snyder" than go on a monologue about why he is a bad owner.

Now... If he has truly learned his lesson and is going to turn over the keys to McC and will be patient, that thought will change. In reality, we are starting to think Dan is getting it and becoming a better owner. How we as fans will express it is that we are now liking Dan Snyder.
