Jay Gruden just received a two-year extension from the Washington Redskins. The same Jay Gruden with a .448 winning percentage. The same one that has never fared better than a 9-7 record, who finished just above .500 last year at 8-7-1, and whose defense has been ranked No. 28 overall in yards allowed for two straight seasons. That Jay Gruden.
This isn’t to knock Jay Gruden. Seriously. It’s just about a bit of perspective. I personally think Gruden can be a good coach, and Washington is likely doing a good thing by extending him at this point.
