Jay Gruden says it's his call on Joe Barry, other assistants

ASHBURN, Va. -- Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden said if any changes will be made to the coaching staff, it will be his call. And it won’t come until what he called a thorough evaluation.

Gruden said he will spend time looking at every staff member over the next couple of weeks, trying to determine if any changes must be made. They'll evaluate players at the same time.

Defensive coordinator Joe Barry has drawn the most scrutiny, with his defenses having fared poorly in his first two seasons. Gruden said others in the organization, notably owner Dan Snyder, president Bruce Allen and general manager Scot McCloughan, will have input in the decision.
