JOJOTOWNSELL Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Gruden is an offensive coach so at least he has that going for him lol http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/11/20/could-gruden-be-one-and-done-in-washington/ The ongoing dysfunction in D.C. (dysfunction completely unrelated to the government, surprisingly) seems to be getting worse, not better. From Robert Griffin III’s way-too-smiley Bill Belichick homage to coach Jay Gruden acknowledging he went too far by calling out his quarterback for calling out teammates and for playing poorly, the stuff playing out in the public eye suggests that plenty of fireworks are flying behind the scenes.The biggest question percolating behind the scenes relates to the future status of Griffin, and Gruden. As to Griffin, it’s becoming more clear that the franchise will be inclined not to pick up the fifth-year option on its erstwhile franchise quarterback. Based on current cap numbers, the team would be committing $18.4 million to Griffin for 2016. Currently, he’s not anywhere close to being an $18.4 million quarterback. But with Washington already on the hook for $3.2 million in fully guaranteed base salary for 2015 under the final year of his rookie contract, it won’t be a surprise if Griffin remains on the roster — just as Jake Locker did in Tennessee andChristian Ponder did in Minnesota after their respective fifth-year options weren’t exercised earlier this year. A trade is possible, but a release makes a lot less sense, given that Griffin will be paid next year whether he’s on the team or not. As to the coach, a one-and-done arrangement would seem stunning on the surface. But it would be the fourth straight year and the fifth time in six seasons that an NFL coach loses his job after one year. In 2013, the Browns gave Rob Chudzinski the heave-ho after one year. In 2012, the Jaguars fired Mike Mularkey after one season. In 2011, the Raiders ran off Hue Jackson following one season as the non-interim coach. The Seahawks fired Jim Mora after the 2009 season, his only year as head coach. It also happened to former Dolphins coach Cam Cameron in 2007. Other one-and-out coaches since 1980 include Art Shell (Raiders, 2006), Al Groh (Jets, 2000), Ray Rhodes (Green Bay, 1999), Joe Bugel (Raiders, 1997), Pete Carroll (Jets, 1994), Richie Petitbon (Washington, 1993), Rod Rust (Patriots, 1990), and Les Steckel (Vikings, 1984). And it has happened in Washington under owner Daniel Snyder. In 2001, Snyder gave the keys to Marty Schottenheimer. After only one season, Snyder kicked Schottenheimer out of the front seat. And out of the car. With the franchise no better, and arguably even worse, than it was in 2013 under Mike Shanahan and in light of the glaring disconnect between Griffin and Gruden, Snyder could decide to extend the streak of NFL coaches fired after one year to four years.

Both played better for Shanny Jr. It amazes me that they're already talking about him being canned down there. Every time you see him in a press conference the dude looks completely disenchanted with the gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vincenzo69 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 RG3 is a tough player for any coach to deal with. True but that doesn't mean Jay Gruden doesn't suck. Mike Shanahan would make sense. Two Super Bowls, runs a qb-friendly offense. RG3 acting like a spoiled primadonna now with another head coach basically vindicates Shanahan. Nobody is ever winning with RG3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woody would have to put out a ton of money for either Gruden and he is not the type of owner who opens his wallet for anyone but players on the team. I do not have to relate that even his staff must take a MANDATORY 6-weeks every June without pay as a Pre-Season Layoff. Enough Said - END OF SUBJECT.

I think Shanahan got a bad deal in Washington and I would love it if the Jets hired him. Like Vincenzo69 says, Shanahan is a HC who likes to run the ball and has won two SB's. Shanahan won 10 games with RGIII as a rookie, but realized the run option offense was going to get him killed. Unfortunately RGIII is not and probably never will be a good pocket QB. Shanahan realized this and went with Cousins which pi$$ed off Dan Snyder who loves him some RGIII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sourceworx Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 The guys I like to replace Rex (in no particular order): - Todd Bowles - Hue Jackson - Mike Shanahan - Greg Roman - Dan Quinn I'd love to get Jon Gruden as well, but I doubt he'd come here.
