Jay Gruden Says WFT 'Should've Never Changed the Name in the First Place'
The Washington Football Team will announce a new team name on Feb. 2, but at least one former coach doesn't think the organization should've removed its original name.
"I don't want to ruffle any feathers, but they should've never changed the name in the first place," Jay Gruden said Tuesday on The Team 980 (h/t Jordan Dajani of CBSSports.com).
Gruden was Washington's head coach from 2014 to 2019, producing a 35-49-1 overall record. He was fired after an 0-5 start in 2019.
The 54-year-old spent the 2020 season as offensive coordinator of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
