HapHaszard Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 http://www.csnwashington.com/redskinsblog/gruden-says-hell-recommend-redskins-retain-haslett At his final press conference of the year, Redskins coach Jay Gruden gave his support to embattled defensive coordinator Jim Haslett, saying that he would recommend retaining Haslett for a sixth season to general manager Bruce Allen and owner Dan Snyder. Gruden, who finished his rookie season as an NFL head coach with a 4-12 record, said that he would meet with Allen on Tuesday and then with Snyder and Allen on Sunday. The final decision on retaining Haslett will be up to Snyder and Allen, although Gruden anticipates a consensus being reached. click on the link for more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSSkinz Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I hope he's just lying, I never excused Jay of his mistakes this year but I believe he needed a chance at a 2nd season. Now that I know he wants Haz back I'm seriously wondering is he that stupid or is he not calling the shots, maybe it was just coach speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacks 'n' Stuff Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 We'll fire Haslett, interview 78 candidates, then promote Raheem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfan12003 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Maybe Haz has told him he needs to have a 4-3 to be successful and that is why the defence was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Love The Skins Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I don't how they can keep Jim Haslett most fans are fed up with him like we with Vinny, in fact I would say the dislike for him rivals the anger and dislike for Vinny.

DogofWar1 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 This pretty much sums up what I'm feeling. You know, between the 3 final exams, the 127 pages of essays, a brief due January 5th, and this, I'm pretty sure I'm actually just in a nightmare. I'm gonna wake up soon, and everything will be okay...okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worstSeat Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 We'll fire Haslett, interview 78 candidates, then promote Raheem. That's where my money was too. I can't figure out if I think that's a good or bad thing, though. More important to me is if they head back to the 4-3. If so, I could probably deal with Morris. Who else is out there that's a clearly better option? Too bad they burnt GG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo-toni Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Can't even say I'm remotely surprised. Guess they will go out together when Gruden gets fired next year. I can't imagine Billick will want to retain him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels it would tough to do but bruce will fire Haz.Had 1 yr left on deal 0 replies 18 retweets 9 favorites Right, but Gruden being sentimental like that is cause enough for concern, if he's actually serious. Burgold put it well in the other thread: Part of being the boss is doing things that suck. Benching stars, firing folks, facing the press after a loss, etc. If you want to be a head coach you can't chose to not fire someone because of ties. You have to be colder than that or at least make a strong case why you might be rewarded for loyalty. Either: A) the JSteelz tweet is wrong and Gruden actually thinks Haslett is fine, which is BAD B ) the JSteelz tweet is true and Gruden is too sentimental to fire a DC who is quite possibly and obviously the worst DC of the past decade C) Gruden got a script to say what he said from someone over his head, which means either Allen or Snyder is doing A or B, which is also bad. Like, it's one thing to say "the FO is evaluating the staff and players. Haslett and I are friends, but this is business," and another thing to actually put to words the notion that if the decision was yours, you'd bring him back.

RWJ Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 If JSteelz says he's gone, that's what I expect. IF he tweets again and says he might stay then that's what I expect. JZ tweets are "WORD". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also bad that in house business is continuously leaked to the same person year after year after year. Nothing against Jsteelz. It is a problem though.

Riggo-toni Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Oh, so Billick is next? Well we know how predictable Dan's man troll cycle goes. 1st time offensive head coach is replaced by retread brand name retired head coach who is given full control over personnel. Cowher probably isn't interested, so it will be 8m a year to lure either Billick or Mooch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I know he wants Haz back I'm seriously wondering is he that stupid or is he not calling the shots, maybe it was just coach speak. This may surprise many but I believe there is a strong sentiment among coaches that he is working with a defensive roster no one would succeed with. I understand the argument especially with what the cap penalty and injuries........that's not to say I support this. If I'm Snyder or Allen you need to let a coach as a scapegoat that "fans we get it and we're doing something about it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JZ tweets are "WORD". Here's the thing, though, and this isn't a slight to J in the least... But things change. Situations are dynamic. What was the plan one day can change the next. Until it happens, I'll believe it when I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
