Re: Is it time to seriously consider a replacement at HC?
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.
