Back on December 10, the day Reggie McKenzie was fired as General Manager, Jon Gruden was asked if Director of Player Personnel Joey Clinkscales was still employed by the team.
“Yes he is. Yes, he is,” Gruden said.
Well, less than a month later, that is no longer true. Clinkscales has been fired according to ESPN’s Jim Trotter.
This move comes two days after the team officially announced Mike Mayock as the team’s new GM. One of the questions posed to Mayock was if he had some guys in mind for a good number two — the job Clinkscales held under McKenzie.
