Zins30 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I seriously doubt there was any chance of him being fired. You'd have to get caught selling crack to kids to get fired from this organization. I agreed. +1 for LOL as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zins30 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 On NFL.com now. Seems pretty official :ninja: NFL @nfl 2m RT @NFL_ATL: Redskins finalize deal to make Jay Gruden their next coach http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000311077/article/jay-gruden-washington-redskins-finalize-deal?campaign=Twitter_atl … Jay Gruden, Washington Redskins finalize deal By Marc Sessler Around the League Writer Published: Jan. 9, 2014 at 09:01 a.m. Updated: Jan. 9, 2014 at 09:27 a.m. By Marc Sessler The Washington Redskins have found their next head coach. NFL Media's Jeff Darlington reported Thursday morning that Jay Gruden and the team have finalized a deal to make him the successor to the fired Mike Shanahan, per multiple sources familiar with the negotiations. Gruden began hammering out the parameters of a deal Wednesday night, putting his interview with the Minnesota Vikings on hold, a source informed of the process told NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport. It caps a search for the Redskins that spread a wide net from the start but settled on an offensive-minded leader. Gruden spent the past three seasons as the offensive coordinator of the Bengals, helping to guide Cincinnati to three straight playoff appearances. Long-married to the West Coast offense, he goes from working with the inconsistent Andy Dalton to young Robert Griffin III. Rapoport also was told that Raheem Morris is being eyed as defensive coordinator while Hue Jackson is a candidate to run the offense. Morris, Washington's defensive backs coach over the past two seasons, was kept around after Shanahan's dismissal for a reason, according to Rapoport. Jim Haslett also remains on staff as a possibility to retain the role he's held since 2010. Jackson makes plenty of sense. He worked closely with Gruden's offense in Cincinnati after a one-year stint as coach of the Oakland Raiders. One of the league's underrated playcallers, Jackson should have plenty of fun working with RGIII. We'll have much more on this story here on NFL.com throughout the day.

Zins30 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Paul Dehner Jr. @pauldehnerjr 2m If you think Marvin Lewis just had Hue Jackson around just because you’re crazy. This scenario is exactly why he was RB coach. Also probably moved fast as they didn't want Gruden possibly taking Hue with him (don't know if he even would anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthPaw Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Just to go along with the Redskins theme, Yahoo Sports thinks Washington should trade Cousins to us. Don't really think Cousins brings any more to the table than Andy. Would rather take a shot at an athletic guy who needs development than a guy who "might" have a little higher ceiling than Andy although that is certainly debatable. http://sports.yahoo.com/news/washington-redskins-trade-kirk-cousins-cincinnati-bengals-152800383--nfl.html not sure trading picks is the way to go, but competition, some way, some how, should be welcomed in Cincinnati. Who knows, with Hue Jackson most likely filling the OC role, maybe we see a different Dalton under center. I don't know what to think at this point. Just hope this team, as a whole, doesn't regress to the likes of Houston and Atlanta. If its because of Dalton's continued up and down play, though, it may not be a bad thing for the following year's draft, as they would net a pretty high pick, if not, the top pick.

Arkansas Bengal Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Report: Jay Gruden agrees to become Redskins head coach Posted by Josh Alper on January 9, 2014, 9:25 AM EST Getty Images The Redskins and Jay Gruden were reportedly making progress toward an agreement for Gruden to become the team’s next head coach when Thursday got underway. It seems that process has reached its finish line. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Gruden has agreed to leave his post as the Bengals offensive coordinator to become the head coach in Washington and Jay Glazer of FOX Sports reports Gruden has informed the Bengals that he’s leaving the team. Gruden interviewed with the Redskins on Wednesday and was scheduled to interview for the top job in Minnesota on Thursday, but it seems the Vikings will have to take things in a different direction. That’s also true of the Titans, who interviewed Gruden on Tuesday and are scheduled to interview Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt on Friday. It will be Gruden’s first head coaching job in the NFL, but he has been a head coach in both Arena Football and the UFL. The Redskins are expected to make an official announcement of Gruden’s hiring later on Thursday. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/09/report-jay-gruden-agrees-to-become-redskins-head-coach/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter1m Redskins TE coach Sean McVay is expected to become Washington's OC, per league sources, Raheem Morris the likely defensive coordinator.

Zins30 Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 48s Redskins TE coach Sean McVay is expected to become Washington's OC, per league sources, Raheem Morris the likely defensive coordinator. That TE coach is one he tried to bring to Cincy initially but Was blocked the move. Interesting move at DC - conflicts with early thought about keeping Haslett.

|Harley| Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 I'm glad he's gone. This was the only way to get rid of him because he wouldn't have been fired. I'm okay with Hue as OC, not ecstatic but fine with it. I think there's now less of an allegiance to Dalton. Expect a QB (or two) added via the draft and FA. I could see one of the D position coaches promoted to DC if Zim goes. I believe this will be ML's last season. Probably bigger changes coming in 2015.

T-Dub Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 He's going from one of the toughest divisions in the NFL to one of the weakest. I think his biggest challenge will be having to mollycoddle RG3 into performing. Then again, I've always thought Shanahanahanahan to be an enormous asshole, so IDK if it's all on RG3.
