Apparently, no coach hired by Daniel Snyder has left with a winning record. And some of them have been pretty good coaches.

I have to think this is a problem that won’t be fixed until the team changes ownership. And hopefully the new owner will be receptive to changing the name of the team.

would want to step into that mess as the next coach?

to a great situation in Minnesota, where they are free to hit their stride.

It certainly isn’t skill positions (they even have a rookie QB salary) or defensive backfield. Their O line is a triage unit and I think the tackle is still holding out. Maybe they are tied up with old bad contracts.

Really it all goes back to all the draft picks they gave up for RGIII and Sean Taylor’s incredibly unfortunate death - he was a 10 year don’t worry about this position player. I know that was back in 2008 but still.

. . .as per Deadspin.

Note: Deadspin refers to the team as the "Skins", NOT the Washington (Racial Slurs)

On Sunday, Gruden had morbidly responded to questions about his job by saying, “if the key works Monday I’ll keep working.” That’s not quite how he found out. But it was close!

From the Washington Post:

Gruden was summoned to the team’s facility in Ashburn for a 5 a.m. meeting Monday by owner Daniel Snyder and team president Bruce Allen, who informed him of the decision.

Not a Skins fan but it’s pretty obvious what the problems are.

...and a new team name.
