yeah the last 2 years we have fallen flat, 8-7-1 is a bad season for a defending division champ, now we may end up 5-11? Yeah not good

There definitely aren't any easy wins the way the Redskins are playing, back to back games where they got destroyed, pretty embarrassing.

If Gruden goes, Allen better be following him out the door.

Jay Gruden said he thought about going for a two-point conversion after Bashaud Breeland's interception return for a touchdown made it 30-12. They could have cut it to a two-score game with 2:36 remaining. But Gruden said they were down to one running back, three receivers and left tackle Trent Williams was done. Gruden said he didn't want to risk further injuries by trying to extend the game. "I wanted to get out of the game, get back on the plane and get ready for Arizona," he said.

Wow, teaching your players how to surrender, what a leader! Problem is when he did that the Redskins still had a slim chance, teams have scored twice in the last 2:36, with the two minute warning they basically had 4 timeouts left.

Wow! He did quit, then. I can hardly believe he said that.

He is basically saying he didn't even want Breeland to make that play. He would rather of had Chargers score another TD. What a joke.

Yeah and u can tell by his pressure that he is ready to leave, he knows the team has quit on him.

Go 9-7, then 8-7-1 with Sean McVay. Then look like this without him.

Tells you who our coaching talent really was.

Yeah, looks like I was wrong about McVay. He has the Rams looking like a legit team in 1 season while we're having a fire our coach discussion.

Great job by the Rams organization to get their guy.

The Rams aren't a dumpster fire like The Redskins either. If McVay had stayed here and taken over as coach then he wouldn't look like the boy genius he is because this Front Office trips up all their coaches.

If Snyder doesn't have a viable candidate in mind then sacking Gruden would be asinine. This season has been awash due to injuries and letting key players go with no one to step up and fill their shoes. Jay has dropped the ball the last two games but he has shown overall to be a solid to good coach. Under Snyder that's the best we can get.

I shared roughly the same position as yours on Gruden's future here until I learned that he gave up trying to win during the Chargers game - an act that infuriated the players. In his post-game comments to the Press, he even admitted that he gave up trying to win. If a so-called "players coach" has lost the trust of the players by quitting on them, then what is the FO to do?

[skinsfaninok]

I've noticed when Jon does our games on MNF he's very critical of the organization, he's said negative things about us more than any other team.. I think there is something to that, maybe that is a hidden message for his brother?

[CRedskinsRule]

I need to change my vote. My rationale was that the team hadn't quit on him, but that is long gone after these last two losses. Sad day.

I'm not sure what experienced head coach would look at the Redskins organization and say "I want to go there." That means the hire would be another head coach with no head coaching experience and I really don't see how the result would be any different than what has been experienced these past few years with Gruden. Gruden now is an experienced head coach and I think at some point the Skins have to bite the bullet and stick with one of their head coach choices.

Gruden isn't perfect but no head coach is and this organization has been being destroyed for the past 20 years so no coach is going to turn this mess around in 3 or 4 years. I think they should keep Gruden and see what happens.
