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....

This sort of thing happens quite often around the league. Not many coaches have full autonomy. Even the ones that do accept input from others in the org.

And it's not as if anyone held a gun to Gruden's head and made him start Griffin over his wishes.
