Jay Gruden Is a Lame-Duck Coach Headed into Washington Redskins Training Camp

Jay Gruden's only been in the job for just over a year. But whether he knows it or not, he's already a lame duck headed into his second training camp with the Washington Redskins.

Gruden was put in a no-win situation the moment the Redskins hired Scot McCloughan as general manager. One of football's most respected talent evaluators and roster builders, McCloughan has already earned widespread praise for his work this offseason.

He's being portrayed, not entirely without justification, as the man who is finally putting a professional stamp on the franchise from the nation's capital.
