Redskins to Hire Jay Gruden As Head Coach

The Washington Redskins search for a new head coach, which once looked like it could take several weeks, ended Thursday when they agreed to hire Jay Gruden, a league source told ESPN.

He replaces Mike Shanahan, who was fired one day after the season ended. Gruden becomes the sixth coach hired by owner Dan Snyder in his 15 years; none have lasted more than four years.

Gruden, the Cincinnati Bengals' offensive coordinator, interviewed with Washington on Wednesday, one day after meeting with Tennessee. He also had visits scheduled with Minnesota and Detroit.

Not really....right?

 

Good question. ESPN says Morris, while The Washington Post says Haslett. Stay tuned.

 

personally,i hope it is neither freaking one!

 

when he actually does something,i'll give him credit.

 

if a cowboy fan likes it,that is the kiss of death!;)

 

that is why gruden kept him.he used to work with morris in tampa,that is why he kept him.

 

wasnt the defense an issue ?

 

Daniel Snyder is that rich girl with daddy's credit card who walks into the mall, sees something trendy and just has to have it

 

the whole time haslett was there. that is why they should have just canned everybody but the rb coach.
i may buy a hat for next season,but that is the last thing i will buy until they can stop looking like a clusterheck rolling down hill!

 

sorry man,snyder's daddy was not rich.and bruce allen hired this guy,snyder did not have anything to do with it really.

 

Wasn't my first choice but yeah he is here now so good luck to him

 

could've def done worse.

for the record i'm estatic the skins didnt hire obrien.

 

Having QB problems, so you hire a guy who can't fix QB's. Smart. Gruden's just a patsy here anyway, he'll put up with RGSnyder's bullcrap for a couple years, try to make himself look good in other FO guys' eyes doing so despite his handicap, and parlay it into a legit job.
