Jay Gruden (Washington) seems to be a coach who brings a sense of humor to work to match his keen understanding of NFL offense. Players seem to enjoy playing for him, but there has been criticism of his ability to get players ready early in the season, and to have them ready to play in the big games that come up every regular season and in the playoffs. At times he has seemed disinterested in the defensive side of the ball, and many fans question his commitment to the run game.
Still, Gruden can point to a 24-23-1 winning mark over the past three seasons, and a generally positive tenure in his 4+ seasons as the head coach.
