Washington Fires Jay Gruden

The Washington Redskins called head coach Jay Gruden to the facility at 5 am this morning to fire him after an 0-5 start. Washington is awful this season but it isn't like Gruden had a lot to work with, with a rookie quarterback and two veteran backups competing for the starting job, and Trent Williams holding out, and injuries at tight end, and all the drafting problems that Washington has had over the years. Gruden will be replaced by Bill Callahan, who ironically replaced his brother Jon in Oakland 17 years ago.
