Don't mind Gruden staying as long as Allen goes. HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Too bad. I'm extremely over Gruden and this whole regime under Allen. Our ceiling with Gruden and Cousins and a healthy team is 9-7 or so, maybe 10-6 if things break right and we have good offseasons. With Gruden and no Cousins, unless we luck into a rookie QB phenom, I shudder to think what our floor is. Most importantly, this team and rooting for it under Gruden just isn't fun. They're streaky in execution and effort. They are under-prepared and sloppy and undisciplined. 4 years in even with the same QB and offense we're pretty middle of the road. We flash and have hot streaks and great halves but that's about it. Numbers without wins to show for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FS#21 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 The problem is we don't have an NFL Caliber, Professional Front Office that is lead by a real General Manager and it will never happen under Dan Snyder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinzplay Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I'd rather have another year of Gruden than have him fired, yet Allen choose his successor. When Gruden is shown the door, let Allen leave with him. No more excuses next year. I don't care about the injuries. Other teams were decimated by injury, yet they were coached and managed far better than the Skins. The Vikings had their fair share of injury issues (including losing having to play a journeyman QB all season). But good coaching makes a hell of a difference.

If any coach screamed "if everything goes right, I can go 9-7". it's Jay Gruden. 2 minutes ago, NoCalMike said: They improved to 8-8? You might want to check the date on that "official statement". I may have been too subtle on that crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veteranskinsfan Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I would have waited at least a month before announcing that Gruden would be back. After today's loss, Skins fans are not happy with Coach Gruden's performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point in needlessly twiddling our thumbs with the amount of necessary evaluations that have to be made this offseason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't make sense to make the coach you're keeping sweat bullets or build his hope up that he gets to leave this **** hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradboyd80 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I'm ok with this as well, if we get a true front office. I think Gruden can do well. It's not like we need a whole rebuild, the talent is here. The first few games of the season showed what this team was capable of when healthy. The D was stout, and the offense was looking good. That all fell apart when the injuries mounted. Not that it's an excuse, but its hard to fault the coaching staff for failing to hold together a team full of guys that will never see another snap of live action again.

TK Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 You go Dirty Di. "Breaking" the same story that blind squirrel Rappaport finally got right days ago. Anyone with a clue would have already known that Jay was never even on a hot seat after signing a 2 year extension before this season started.

WelshSkinsFan Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Glad to have it settled and honestly no need to debate the pros and cons any further. Decision is made so time to focus on the roster and skip the bickering over whether we need to blow things up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there is definitely no way a coach could get fired a year after signing an extension. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/21928301/oakland-raiders-fire-coach-jack-del-rio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clskinsfan Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I am actually OK with Gruden staying. Yes he seemed to give up a little bit toward the end of the year. But the injury situation has to take a toll on anyone. And if you want Kirk back on a long term deal I think keeping Gruden is an absolute necessity.
