If you follow my work (I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t), then you probably saw this coming.
Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden is not completely absolved of blame in the team’s 21-9 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. But it seems as though the loss itself is a fireable offense in some corners. The hate for the head coach moves swiftly, and unforgivingly.
It’s easy to see why. He’s the one wearing the headset. He’s the one looking on from the sideline. If a play call doesn’t work, it’s Gruden’s fault. If the failure of the play is caused by improper execution by players… then the players aren’t ready.
