It's pretty easy to understand, Bruce is a lunatic. I want to believe Gruden got to pick his own coaches but we can't forget Zorn was originally hired to be offensive coordinator before a HC was hired, and then after we threw the shit fit about Hassel he was promoted to HC.

If Gruden wasn't allowed to create his own hierarchy with his own hand picked assistants he was doomed from the start.

Regardless BA goes out of his way to undermine the coaches. He did it with Shanahan and he is doing it with Jay to scapegoat him. We can fire Jay and that will fix our Jay problem but it doesn’t fix the problem with the team.

I don't think Jay is a good coach. But I think he would have had way more success than he has had here, with another competent organization.

He isn't head coaching material at the NFL level. For one thing he is way too soft, his team lacks discipline on and off the field.

And this is what Vinny did too which is why even changing BA isn't much of a chance to see success. The person hiring the next Bruce or Vinny will still look for the same criteria.

It has never been reported by a "journalist" that the Callahan hire was an arranged marriage with Jay.

But, Finlay, Sheehan, and Phillips from the Richmond times dispatch have talked about it on podcasts since Callahan's hire.

And it's a total Bruce move. Dallas has a good run game, let's hire yet another Dallas Cowboy, whether he fits here or not.
