Is it time to seriously consider a replacement at HC?

I'll admit I was never 100% a Gruden guy but he's had his upside. I've been less impressed with the way the team seems to be unprepared to play the game, that he seems to be afraid of making adjustments in-game and that he doesn't seem to be progressing as a head coach. I came across this article from early 2014 which seems to have nailed Gruden before he was hired and it only highlighted my concerns.

I am a believer that continuity is more important than making a change for the sake of change. I don't want to see them fire Gruden without at least a commitment in hand from someone arguably better. There just doesn't seem to be a surplus of quality head coaching candidates right now. That said, if this writer could nail Grudens shortcomings 5 years ago and all of them appear to hold true after 5 years on the job, how can we expect improvement in years 6, 7 or 8?

Yes. Yes. And Yes.

Gruden was a good bridge to stability. Now we need to get to the next step. Stability and consistent playoff/SB aspirations. The thing is who do we have in the FO that can find that candidate, and who is the candidate out there right now?

Agree, we should be looking to trade up, but not for for the sake of firing.

An up and comer like McVay for instance.

It all rides on these last 5 games

Stability is the key in the NFL. I'd say we need to see how he does in the last five games.

We need a REAL GM, not named Bruce Allen. He is terrible and must be replaced at GM. Let the new GM decide what to do with Jay at the end of the season.

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.

I agree.. You look at what a difference John Dorsey has meant to the Browns. We have to bring in a football minded GM. Bruce Allen hasn't been awful but the further he and Snyder get from the decision making process, the better the team seems to do. The guy just seems to be too concerned about having power rather than making solid football decisions.

Where’s the talent? The Skins have the worst Receiving Corp in the NFL.
The back end of our defense does not have one player we drafted starting right now this includes our ILBs Brown and Foster.
Dunbar brought in as a WR.

No drafted QBs on the roster.
Our two best running backs (AP and Bibbs) right now weren’t drafted by us.
Doctson experiment has been a complete waste. Couldn’t get a 600yard season from the guy.

Ionnides was the only player to contribute from his draft class (Cravens and Doctson draft class)

Matt Jones... Perine...


They’ve done a solid job building the Dline with some young guys that are showing a lot of promise but the Oline had holes and lack of depth since week 1.


We don’t have one, not one MFer at a skill position that is playing well. Not one!!!!!!!!!!!
