TK Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 For Immediate Release October 7, 2019 REDSKINS RELIEVE JAY GRUDEN OF DUTIES LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. – The Washington Redskins announced today that they have relieved Head Coach Jay Gruden of his duties with the team. Gruden was informed of the decision early Monday morning by Owner Daniel Snyder and President Bruce Allen. The team has issued the following statement: Through the first five games of the 2019 season, the team has clearly not performed up to expectations, and we all share in that responsibility. Moving forward we are committed to doing all that we can collectively as an organization to turn things around and give our Redskins fans and alumni a team they can be proud of in 2019 and beyond. The Redskins will hold a press conference at Redskins Park at 1:00 p.m. ET today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you have preferred that Jay wasn't fired? And please answer the question because all of us would have preferred 5 or more Superbowls within the last 20 years (and all of the competence that comes with it).

Butchie_T Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Dan needs to do the same with Bruce Allen. Hope that happens after this current mess settles down. This firing probably came two years later than it needed to but at least it did finally happen. no joy from me, just relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjunkies Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Just now, dc1 said: Nope. It's Bruce's conference. In that case it'll be "we're not going to take questions today, we are gonna go forward to make sure Redskins football returns to glory so these great fans get what they deserve blah blah blah" Red faced loser!

Boss_Hogg Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 First official Bruce Allen press conference since January 2015. I expect nothing of substance from this man. Just more bull **** and sugar coating. Bruce Allen is untouchable and its gross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in short, yes he is untouchable but don't be surprised if you see a positive change in roles for Bruce post "DC Move" confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bruce was such a good lobbyist and had such great contacts wouldn't they already have a sweetheart deal? At the very least, wouldn't it be further along? From everything we've heard, the new stadium deal is languishing and the team is really struggling to get anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce is very much involved with everything. Yup, he went back to football side after Scott was fired. Then was relieved of Business side when they hired LaFemina. Stuff he got back when they fired LaFemina a few months later... Firing Jay doesn't help, as long as you don't get rid of Bruce. Team is losing ON and OFF the field, it isn't rocket science to know that the President is at fault here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santana_89 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 This had better be the first of many changes in the organization to turn this thing around and make the Redskins fan base proud again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I'd ask Bruce a simpler question, "How do you grade yourself? How do you assess the job you've done for the Redskins over the last ten years? Is the team where you hoped it'd be and has it met your vision?

ANONYMOUS SOURCE. Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Well I guess his key didn’t work this morning lol. I somehow see Dan with a headlamp and Bruce with a toolbox changing locks in the dark last night. Sorry but this firing is moot without Bruce’s ass on the street also.

From everything we've heard, the new stadium deal is languishing and the team is really struggling to get anywhere. Like all major acquisitions, we are talking billions of exchange outside of construction. It's not traffic news. It's going down folks. There were multiple sources reporting on it 3 days ago because the DC Mayor's lips were a little slippery. There has been ongoing significant engagement for years. 7 minutes ago, RememberOsaka said: Know someone who works for Pepco who told me months ago that the groundwork has been laid for a return to DC.
