According to Russell, Gruden had to convince Snyder “for several hours” last fall that benching Griffin was the proper call, suggesting the owner was very much a part of football decision-making.
“He had to, from what I was told, convince by going into Dan Snyder’s office for several hours last year in late November, to convince Dan why he needed to bench Robert, why he needed to take him out, why he was hurting the game,” Russell said.
Around the time Griffin was benched, after Week 12, Russell says is when a rumor surfaced inside Redskins Park that team owner Daniel Snyder had called Gruden’s agent to complain his client was “stealing money.”

Hopefully the buck begins and ends with Scot. Gruden should have to answer to Scot and Scot alone. |
All true (well I've only heard the agent part from Chris so I can't confirm that)
As for RG3's quotes. Maybe a bit passive-aggressive. And it's certainly something he needs to work on. The idea of playing within the system. I know it's got to be hard from going to from "changing the position" to "game manager" But those are the cards he and the team have been dealt now
