RG3 and Gruden?

While I said they all deserve to go, the practical fact of the matter is they can't all go. We're into Gruden for four more guaranteed years so we have no choice but to ride him out a bit longer and hope for the best.

And it's not like we have better options at QB so might as well hang onto RG3 and see what happens. But Allen, Haslett and others should be gone.

What you mean we? Snyder is a billionaire. He can pay a man who is no longer coaching his team if he wants to do that. As a fan, I have no interest in Snyder keeping around a man who can't do the job and I couldn't care less how much money he spends to find the right coach.

Exactly. The guaranteed money to Gruden is a pittance compared to the lost revenue from keeping a bad coach who nobody wants to watch, buy apparel and whatnot.

It's a no brainer, if there's a better HC available you walk Gruden to the door.

I'm not even sure Gruden could handle being OC on most teams. He was really "coddled" in Cincy having a ton of talent to work with and an elite defense that constantly put the offense in good position.

Lol. Having talent to work with means an o-coordinator is "coddled?" If that's the case, I wish our o-coordinators were coddled every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

Just because he can doesn't mean he will. If it were your business would you toss away $20M for nothing?

It's just ignorant of reality.

You're going to have to show me your analysis on that one because I call bullshit.

We have sucked something awful for years, yet we continue to sell out games.

We had tickets on RESALE for $4 this past weekend, but that's resale. That doesn't hurt Snyder's pocket. A sparse stadium hurts concessions, I'll give you that.

But come next year we'll all be excited again for Redskins football and they'll sell out again, no matter whether Gruden is coach.

This is easily the worst situation I can ever remember any NFL team being in.

A coach with 4 more guaranteed years who by all accounts is terrible, a QB who loves drama more than football, 3 high picks not on the roster because of a trade, and terrible front office support.

Doesn't mean they can't make moves, but reality says we won't get what we want.

Gee look who is number three on the list. Danny is just so upset he can't win; he uses 100 dollar bills to wipe the tears away.

I am not so sure. He might part with $20M if he thought that the damages to the franchise associated with a coach that cannot get us moving in the direction of winning soon might cost more than that. Not to mention that it might be worth $20M (to him -- he has that luxury) not to have the media shit-storm that the last 7 weeks have wrought.

Dude, he tried to get Shanahan to resign last year so that he didn't have to pay his final year.

We kept on several coaches as holdovers from that staff so that Dan wouldn't have to pay dead salaries.

Show me a time when Dan Snyder has ever been willing to pay lots of money to a coach to go away?

You're not living in reality.
