This game for a long time. Would you think about this choice . Captioned by the National Captioning Institute www. Ncicap. Org i was very involved with the following his agent, we were on the phone from about 10 00 p. M. Until about 3 00 in the morning. I do know it is a fiveyear deal with the Washington Redskins. Jay gruden is the new head coach of the Washington Redskins and that is a very unusual longterm inl for a firsttime coach this league. He started in 1997, he was the offense of coordinator in the arena league and became one of the alltime great coaches, he had a six arena bowl championships. Nfl as annt onto the assistance, and he got a super bowl ring when he was wednesday with the tampa bay buccaneers. Now he comes in, he was tightly highly coveted. 46 years old, and he takes over the Washington Redskins january 9, 2014. All right, 10, another quick question, what do you think this is going to mean as far as how the team has handled do you think they will keep a lot of the current coaches . He has a great relationship with a lot of these coaches. Sean mcvay i think will be his new offense of coordinator. I just got off the phone with bob lamonte again, it jays agent, and he is working out a deal as we speak with bruce allen, and sean is about to become the offensive coordinator. There is another guy who has been with jay gruden for a long time, they were coaches together in the arena league, the ufl as well, and they coached together before the National Football league. Jim hazlitts job is still up in the air but he has a great relationship with jay, so they are working out the assistant coaches. Jay grudens number one priority is to walk into the locker room and change the culture, the attitude. As of and a soap opera, and it has got to change. The number two thing on his docket is he wants to go in and develop these two quarterbacks, rg iii and kirk cousins. It is not a decision which quarterback he is going to go it development is a process. I thought right, tim brant, thank you so much for that. We will check in with you later on.
