Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden is going to be fired. Soon. This was something of a foregone conclusion even before Washington was thumped 24-3 by the rival New York Giants in a game that strengthened their grip on the NFC East cellar.
Maybe it will happen Monday. Maybe it will happen in Week 10, when the Redskins have their bye. Whatever the case, there's next to chance Gruden survives the 2019 season—and zero chance he's the franchise's head coach in 2020.
No one outside the Gruden family will argue the firing isn't deserved. The Redskins aren't just 0-4 to start the season.
