ANALYSIS/OPINION:
What did we know about Jay Gruden when he walked into Redskins Park to become the Washington Redskins‘ coach?
He wasn’t Marty Schottenheimer, walking in with 153 NFL victories under his arm.
He wasn’t Steve Spurrier, walking in with an NCAA national championship to his credit.
He certainly wasn’t Joe Gibbs, returning home as the savior.
Heck, he wasn’t even Jim Zorn. At least Zorn had played in the league.
If you looked up his resume, you found that Gruden was ranked as the fourth-greatest player in the history of the Arena Football League.
