From the comments here, I hear a whining motivationally challenged leader who neither inspired players, nor earned enough respect to even call the most basic goal line play in existence. Gruden may not have known DS before the RGIII/KC debacle, but by the Haskins draft he certainly had enough leverage to say if I don't get to pick the QB I'm leaving (and at that point someone would have hired him as a HC).
This isn't a defense of Snyder, but it's a fallacy at the highest to say that JG couldn't control the culture. He set the culture by accepting mediocrity, by not standing up for his players, and by being inept at understanding his players (for example: why set your qb up for failure by calling a play the WR doesn't like). The KC kneel even more now highlights a myriad of failures at a leadership level on both the part of KC and on Gruden.

He wasn't whining and he acknowledged he knew what he was signing up for. He was just speaking to the challenges here. It's a good listen check it out.
