The problem with this team isn't ownership, or the coaching....the major obstacle with this team is the front office....

....the problem with this team is lack of depth....if you look at the teams Joe Gibbs had in the 1980s those teams were rock solid at every position....the starters on those teams could get hurt and the reserve players would fit right in and play at an elite level...same with New England...remember when Tom Brady went down in 2008 with an ACL and Matt Cassel just stepped in and the Parriots had an 11-5 year... the teams under Gibbs 2, Zorn, Shanahan, and Gruden don't have true talent beyond its starters....consider AP a backup for Guice....do they have many depth players at important positions like this? I know AP was signed after Guice's injury but the team's lack of depth are the main reasons why this team borders on .500 every year.

We know who Gruden is and it's time to move in another direction. The area that he is most weakest it seems is attention to detail. For example he still doesn't know how to manage time outs and the clock. His playcalling is down right terrible. Where have the bootlegs been all year? I rarely saw any w/ Smith. Or the play action screen game? Why do you have the QB in shotgun all the time on 3rd and 1? If your offense struggles up the tempo, just do something. Do we even have a trick play in the playbook? He doesn't know how to manufacture points. Can he actually make adjustments on the fly?

I don't get the BA hate here. Since he came and and has settled DS down, we have gotten our cap in solid shape, regardless of what people moan about on here our drafts under him and Doug Williams have been good to above average. Our roster is as deep as it has ever been. His one failing, and its not minor, has been the qb position.

BUT

Gruden is supposed to be a qb guru yet ours have consistently failed in big games, and underperformed at the beginning and end of the season. Gruden could be gone tomorrow and i wouldnt shed a tear, just hope DW, BA and DS have their eyes on the right next coach.

What?? Are you trolling? He has made 4 piss poor decisions in the QB area. That alone should get him fired. Snyder is a successful businessman and NFL owner. He doesn't or shouldn't need a damn babysitter. Besides, when the RG3 mess was going on, and they were giving him special treatment which pissed off half the team, who was right there next to Dan? Bruce was. Bruce wasn't putting a stop to any of that nonsense. He went along right w/ it. And to top it off he totally ruined the most important negotiation the team needed to close. Unforgivable.

Bruce is simply the kind of guy that will do anything to keep his job. He's a brown noser to the owner. Every big company has a guy like Bruce around.

I think where we'd miss Gruden the most is the draft. He has a lot of input to the process. The board isn't his to own but the organization listens to him, and he breaks ties by occasionally standing on the table for somebody during the draft (Ioannidis).

But it's on the organization to get the right people in place regardless. I think we've seen what Gruden can do - he's OK but he doesn't elevate his talent. And I think he whiffed on the DC hire (Manusky).

I'd give him a chance though to show that he can coach McCoy into a successful performance down the stretch here. If we secure the division and McCoy looks good in the process I'd have to credit Gruden, even if I ultimately feel like I know his ceiling is 10-6. It would be enough to buy one more season.

Yeah CRed you're off your rocker, bud. Bruce Allen has to go. I wholeheartedly believe the rumblings that Cousins wasn't at all interested in signing with Washington as long as Bruce Allen was still with the team. That was the single most embarrassing misplay of any player/contract situation in the entire NFL over the last five years. It has be be considered a fireable offense.

Allen's record speaks for itself at this point. If Gruden goes Allen has to go too.

I mean the bolded part is kind of like, 'aside from that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?'

Id let Gruden stick around, but he needs to bring in a new OC imo. I think the step back has been fairly clear...Of course I like the running mentality, but I think Jay needs to share the blame along with Alex when it comes to the passing attack. There is a dullness with routes and scheme in general.

I wouldn't say a change at HC would be the best move. Bruce Allen needs to go for sure though.

lol Allen has failed repeatedly at trying to fill the QB spot, the Cousins debacle alone is a huge strike against him

QB decisions during BA tenure has been absolute garbage. Plus the one he didn't want to draft, didn't want on the roster, the one Danny hated....was the best one we had the last 20 years.
