Fred Jones Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 So, nothing has changed. Have to wait and see how they spin this. How they spin "fired" as opposed to "relieved of duties", who is going to take over for the remainder of the season? I don't see a lot of changes now, in fairness to the team, what can you do mid-season? They just don't have a lot of options. Lastly, I wish they would just do what the Fins are doing and tank the season for draft picks. They will win a few to get us out of the top five and continue to be below average moving forward. Giving a slimmer of hope to the fans, but just a mirage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmandoug1 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Lazy and undisciplined football team that is why I think Jay had to go. Whether it was that way because Jay didnt like the FO or Jay was a bad leader, who knows. I don't think Callahan does any better though, his O line is terrible and has the most penalties in the NFL. I don't expect this to change overnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooleyfan1993 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 It appears Callahan will be interim head coach the rest of the season. Let’s see what he can do with this team. Will he keep Manusky, or promote tomsula or rob Ryan to DC? i think the o line penalties issue is half just the refs being morons and half just our o line being stupid. I mean, i have a hard time believing that our o line is messing up EVERY. SINGLE. PLAY... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). Ummm I think he knows Jay had to go but everyone also knows, and this is critical, that pile of manure sitting at the top of this organization also needs to go. Bruce Allen needs to go. Dan of course we are stuck with. These two together are like Dumber and Dumber. It does not matter who the coach is they hire - that coach will eventually be the sacrificial lamb. And that person will always be discredited in some fashion in the media either on their way out or once they are out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dballer Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 It would be nice if just ONE media person were to bring up the Redskins record under Jay, then the record under Bruce, and ask him if he feels his position is safe. That is the only thing I want out of this conferece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaytoAli Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 the 1 pm press conference should be primarily focused on Bruce Allen as he has been GM of the Suckskins for so many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I have no hope that the local beat reporters will ask any tough questions or if they do, insist he answer them head-on. He'll say nothing as usual and then they'll all talk a big game later. They all want access too badly despite being shown they'll never get it aside from some nasty leaks here and there. And honestly those usually go to the national reporters as a middle finger to the beat guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP Finley, who has had a chance to grill Bruce and did so extremely lightly, compared Allen to Putin this morning...that did make me laugh a little.

Cooleyfan1993 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Apparently bill callahan made a comment in an offensive meeting last week, with Gruden standing in the room, and bill said he can’t remember the last time a team had this few rushes to start a game 😂😂😂 and one player told either josina Anderson or Diana Russini that it was time for Gruden to go, cause too much lazy and stubborn **** going on at practice, guys checking Snapchat at practice 😂😂😂 yup.

He would grade himself a complete failure. 1-11 in the last 12. Under 40% over 10 years. Straight up garbage. Dan turned over a new leaf, hired Bruce and Shanahan, then commenced to continue doing the same **** as before with the result being an even worse 2 ND decade. Now Crickets...

Yup. Of course the blame starts at the top but accountable is applicable everywhere. The couch (coach) sets the standard for the players. Jay was a nice guy, but very sub par coach and leader.

This might just be the best couch assessment that I have ever read. To answer your question: Soft definitely to soft. Every player who sits on that couch becomes way to complacent.
