Jay Gruden Next Skins Coach

[Spur-Addict]

It's a 5 year deal. Too soon for Gruden?

I'm optimistic to see how he develops griffin based on how he developed dalton who is only an average QB talent. I'm concerned that he is reunited with a lot of his Tampa buddies though. Should be a solid hire though. Hopefully we can move towards a power run scheme and get bigger stronger lineman. Alfred has the talent to be a downfield runner IMO.

Haslett still being on the staff is disheartening though but I read somewhere that shanny forced him to run a 3-4 when he never had experience with it or liked it.

:lmao:lmao:lmao

Fuck, the Skins are retarded :lmao

[Lincoln]

It's an underwhelming hire tbh, really wanted one of the SF coordinators or zimmer the bengals dc. But I guess this beats Schwartz and art fucking briles. All the major sports networks seem to like this hire but what the fuck do they know

Found a video on him tbh, redneck as shit:

underrated hire imho, it should end the red option era in washington. Weird fit though.

Gruden called zone read packaged plays with dalton but yeah they won't lean on it.

lol i cant believe someone actually wanted to coach that team :lol

Why not? Redskins got money and potential. They already got a good quarterback imo so you can check that off the list.

Holden_Caulfield, what's their draft pick situation like? I know they were annihilated by St. Louis. But with as much power RG3 has, I wouldn't want to be anywhere near the so called helm of that franchise. But if he makes that work, he's gold thereafter. All that being said, I wouldn't have hired the guy. He certainly wouldn't have been my first choice with the availability of other coordinators and coaches out there. Time will tell.

I used to think highly of Chucky Gruden based on his fabulous runs with Oakland in spite of Idiot Al Davis and then of course the Tampa Bay Bowl.

But when he said no one might be better in San Diego then his buddy Norv Turner, he lost me.

We have 6 picks this year and then we have a full draft class starting next year. We have roughly 36-40 million in cap space as well. Got some talent on offense at LT, WR, RB, TE, and QB but the defense is trash outside of Kerrigan/orakpo/d hall. IMO build a line through FA, draft defense and take a WR in the third round in a stacked WR draft. Most of our good players are all on rookie deals

[Lincoln]

Rg3 and dan weren't near the interviews either, it was just GM Bruce Allen.nfl network is reporting that rg3 is one of the main reasons gruden took the job. If he can develop him like he did with dalton I'll be happy.

The more things change the more things stay the same for dem skeenz :lmao

It's a job where there are only 32 positions in the world and a rich owner who will throw money at you. Are you really that surprised?

[Ditty]

Rather have had the other Gruden brother, but not a bad pick. Whisenhunt and Zimmer were my top two choices then Gruden. I'm fine with Haslett staying if he is like the linebackers coach/assistant coach and stays away from the defense play calling. I like Raheem Morris as our DC and this Sean Mcvay that everyone has been raving about as our OC. Go back to a 4-3 defense now!

I'm hoping we snag one of these WRs in the draft as well. That's a nice bit of cap space you guys have there, that's for sure. Defense is for shit, I'd start there.

If they get anything other than OL, LB, or DB in free agency ill rage.

Your linebackers are pretty gold. I'd hit the secondary and DL.

if we stick with the 3-4, our ILB are garbage and London fletcher is retiring. riley is average but his hands are shit and robinson can't stay healthy. Angerer from indy looks nice

[Spur-Addict]

Kerrigan and Orakpo are really good, and you could pick up a LB or two in FA. I wouldn't waste picks on it, although I'm not sure what the FA market will look like for LB's this offseason. Worth looking into tbh

[bigzak25]

i'll play wait and see. not too impressed, but lets see what the muthafuckas got.

My bad.
Why does Jon Gruden not get signed?
He must not want to coach. Can't imagine he has not been given offers.

Yes, he has said he doesn't want to coach this year, and would like to remain with ESPN.

So you want rg3 to develop into Dalton...who he himself has developed into another Romo?

[Lincoln]

No I want him to develop rg3 and maximize his potential.

[SupremeGuy]

Doesn't matter who they hire, tbh. Bob and his daddy run the team now.

sure but if i was a young coach, i wouldnt bet my career on a monkeyballer with two acl surgeries already, especially a diva one :lol

Maybe he is retarded for coming here then but that was one of the main reasons he chose here. To get a chance to work with and develop rg3

His deal from what I've read is pretty average for an NFL head coach. 5 years 21 (or 22) mill

[DeadlyDynasty]

If he can get RG3 to look at his 2nd and 3rd reads then he should be COY
