Should the Redskins Extend Jay Gruden’s Contract?

Lost in the shuffle of the focus on Cousins, I think this is a legit question...

Should the Redskins Extend Jay Gruden’s Contract? « CBS DC

[skinsfaninok]

YES, No questions asked

[punch it in]

Yes. Continuity for one is a good ingredient for success.
He has certainly been winning more than losing lately. I am even done with being mad at Barry. He is actually probably over achieving with this current D.
Gruden seems above all to have these guys pumped up and playing as a team. No drama.

Couldn't agree more. Less optimistic about Barry than you though.

[SFREDSKIN]

Yes, I like some of his ballsy calls, but he has to do a
Better job on the 2 point conversions and stop the midfield crappy onside kicks, going for a 55 Yard field goal when the sun is in the kickers Face. He was a little reckless today.

[Bucket]

Yes.

I'm a firm believer that the tag for Kirk was not only for him, but a testament to Jay. I think they go hand in hand. Of Jay is here for a long time, so will Kirk.

[sevier2]

He absolutely stays at this point.

It seems a lot of fans have forgotten the shape this team was in when he inherited it not too long ago. Aside from the tremendous improvement we've seen on the field the CULTURE has completely changed. Players on this team play with pride and heart, the way the sport is meant to be played. It's a joy to watch knowing they're not throwing in the towel.

We've seen a winning formula across the league: Continuity.
We have a good QB.
We have a good Head Coach.
We have an excellent GM.

We have the framework set in place to be something special in the coming years. I've said this multiple times but this is STILL only year 2(!) of Scot McCloughan's rebuild. At this point we're OVER achieving. Years 3-5 are when you generally see the work of a new regime.

Another off-season to focus on our Defensive side of the football.
Another off-season for the offense to learn the playbook even more.
Another off-season to add those veteran players that can contribute to the team.

We're headed in a great direction and need to keep everyone in tact to see this thing through. Doing anything otherwise would be shooting ourselves in the foot for no apparent reason.

HAIL

Yes. But he has to think long and hard about keeping Barry.

Good point. He stood on the table for him and the gamble has paid off big time.

Please see most post for yesterday.

If the wheels fell off the wagon this year, and the Redskins had to find a new coach, would KC fit the new scheme? If they signed him to a long-term deal last year, they would have had to bring a new coach that runs a version of the west coast offense. Maybe that was part of the reason they brought in Callahan?

Norv Turner is the last coach to make it more than fours years. In today's a lot of coaches do not make it more than 4 years. Jay is 16 in tenure, and I could see him moving up to 13th by the end of the season. It was a smart move not to sign KC to a long-term deal last year. They need to lock up Jay and Kirk and end the drama.

The bigger question is Scot M and Jay. Do they mesh? Jay is about big boy smash mouth football and Jay is a complex passing offense. Can they mesh and work together for 4, 5, or 6 more years?

[J. Falcon]

Yes, yes and yes. Cousins and Gruden should stick around for a long time.

Yes, totally agree

[Alvin Walton]

Yes, extend Gruden.
But replace the DC.

I think Barry is over achieving with this group. We have Norman. Cravens is very young obviously but seems like he could be a play maker. Outside of that there is not one player who is a must keep.

Really? Is more like we need to fill holes in certain positions. I would replace Jenkins, maybe hood, Whitner, Blackmon, Hall, Bates add another ILB. I like Kerrigan, Smith, Murphy, Breeland. Some of our players are young and will get better. Lots of keepers.
