The real question is, do Bruce and Dan's keys to the building still work?
 
So that's that, then.

It will be interesting to see if the team plays better now, or worse. :)
 
So it's Callahan from here on out.

I might pick the Skins to win this week.
 
We won't know until the end of the year.

The telling point will be who hires the next HC after we move on from Callahan as the interim.
 
4 years late. But I'll take it.

Manusky should follow. Like, before 9am.
 
I want to be excited but just so depressing we're back in this situation again, with no hope of any think different if Allen is still making decisions.

Agree. This will be the biggest move for the Redskins. Who will hire the next coach. Allen has to go, but I fear he's the guy who picks the next coach.

As far as the immediate future, Manusky needs to go too. Unless Gruden was somehow holding back the defense, there's no way Manusky should still have a job. I believe that Gruden could have stuck around longer had he fired Manusky. Just my opinion, but that would have showed he was doing something to fix the problems.

Per Diana Russini via 980:

Trent Williams will be traded.

Bruce Allen is staying, at least for now.

Haskins will start in Miami.

Per Redskins Player as related on 980:

‘It was time. Guys were on Snapchat during practice. People weren't taking their shit seriously. Gruden never said anything,'

I'm guessing the players on Snapchat are the ones thinking Jay was awesome and there will be no improvement.
 
I'm guessing a big "For Sale" sign on the roster. For any moves that make both football, and financial sense.

I was going to say ding dong the witch is dead but there's not much to get excited about until Bruce Allen is gone.
 
Should've never had Gruden to start the year anyway in a lame duck season, I also think since he knew this he didn't give a damn at the end of the day. But for now it's progress.
 
I totally agree. Bruce Allen is the larger problem. But no matter what - Jay needed to go too.
 
I'd love for the Bruce Allen era to be over as much as anyone. But don't talk about how dysfunctional the org structure is, and then worry that the GM will be the one picking the next Head Coach :)
 
Clinton Portis on 980:

We need to junk the 3-4 because we have never had 3-4 personnel and are asking players like Kerrigan to go into coverage which they can't do.

Montez Sweat has received zero coaching and doesn't know what he is doing out there. He's lost and the coaches don't address it.
 
Unless they have a plan in place for next season, they'd be better of not making wholesale changes to the defense. Make the official switch to 4-3 during the offseason. We need better coaching during the week. and someone who knows how to call plays on gameday.
