I think he really is a no nonsense coach. I also feel he has the tools and the ability to right the ship - BUT.....

I wonder if the world around him is going to allow him to do this. The media? The front office? The players? For once, I love having a coach who says that the best possible player is going to start - and that may not be the current starter. I love the idea that he is not sticking with RGIII no matter what in terms of the future for this team, even though I love RGIII. In the end, I want Gruden to build a winning program with a winning culture but in doing so, knowing that if it takes jettison the face of the franchise or a coach, or whoever it may be, I'm all for it. In the end, I'm more of a Washington Redskins fan than I am a fan of particular players. Sure, I have my favorites, but for the long term, my favorites are players who take care of business on the field.

I'm not sure how it may pan out - but when Dan Snyder / Bruce Allen tells him who he is going to play - how do you think that bodes for Gruden's future if he were to say "no Mr. Snyder - i'm going to start (whoever)". Only way that works out for JG is if whoever he puts in lights it up and the Skins start winning again....
