The schefty story last night said Gruden has been calling around to assistants about a potential staff

To me there's too much smoke for it not To be a fire here, Firing JDR right away was the right thing to do because if he waited a few days and then it came out Gruden pulled back you couldn't then keep JDR. So it was already done

The reports are the offense was jovial in the locker room after hearing of the firing says what is needed to be said about how he lost the room, Carr even said the last month the fight has been with the team but they have been lacking the 'details'. Which for him, he always takes blame, is the equivalent of blasting the coaching staff

In hope it's Gruden, but a new HC who will overhaul the staff either way is preferable. I like JDR as a motivator and even as an in game decision guy. But he needs to be surrounded by elite assistants and he hired his guys and couldn't do it
