Ain't it ironic? In 2002, Bill Callahan took over as head coach for the Oakland Raiders, replacing Jon Gruden, who went to Tampa Bay. Both faced each other that same season in the Super Bowl with Tampa winning. Now Callahan is replacing Jay Gruden, who just gotten fired from coaching the Washington Redskins.
I'm not sure if firing is the easy solution. Going to Colt McCoy was not going to work. Obviously, Dwayne Haskins is not a viable option. You got an overpaid secondary that can't do squat. Issues with the running game. Not any worthy receivers or ends. All my life, I have seen a franchise go down the toilet since 1993. A handful of good seasons, but nothing that gets them past the bigger teams. Since 93, five Super Bowls have been won by the NFC East (Dallas in 93 and 95, New York 2007 and 11, Philly 2017)
I don't know if it's the way Daniel Snyder runs the team or if its an incompetent general manager, but football in DC is not anything to be proud about. Only two playoff appearances this decade, and nothing gets fixed for the long term. Thank goodness for fans around that area they have the Capitals and the Nationals. Add in the Wizards when they are good.
Football town, it is not now these days.
