Sean McVay as the Redskins head coach never could have realistically happened

One of the common refrains among the Redskins fan base is that the team should have fired Jay Gruden to hire Sean McVay as their head coach. While that may be nice in theory, it never really could have happened.

We love to play the “what if” game when covering sports. There are always questions that never have answers, and it’s interesting to hypothesize what might have happened if one thing changed. For the Redskins, there are a lot of these burning questions.

What if the team had traded Kirk Cousins instead of letting him walk in free agency?

What if Sean Taylor hadn’t been murdered?

These questions will never have answers, but they will always be thought about by Redskins fans, nonetheless.
