Redskins fire head coach Jay Gruden after Week 5 loss to Patriots

The Jay Gruden era has officially come to an end. The Washington Redskins decided to move on from their head coach after their brutal Week 5 loss to the New England Patriots.

Gruden spent six seasons at the helm for the Redskins, making him the longest-tenured head coach of the Daniel Snyder era. During those six seasons, Gruden got the Redskins to the playoffs once and posted a 35-49-1 record while in charge of the team.

Gruden’s seat was known to be hot coming into the season, and it’s fair to wonder if the team regrets not moving on from him in the offseason.
