Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins

That was a neat press conference. I think Jay looked a little green behind the ears at the beginning, (of course the obnoxious 2 first questions didn't help), but he handled it well. I love that he said he didn't believe the stories that you guys write. As the questions went on he seemed to settle in getting more and more comfortable letting his personality come out. When told, "there have been reports that Sean McVay will be your OC," Jay responded sarcastically, "Oh yeah? Good for him." He seemed particularly comfortable and showed most passion talking about being a head coach and why he felt ready for that position. A lot of the substance of what he said was pretty generic and safe, but I think he did a great job of handling his first press conference as head coach, especially facing the Washington media, and letting us get a glimpse of the kind of coach that we and he all hope he will be.
