Jay Gruden fired by Redskins after 0-5 start, Bill Callahan named interim head coach | CBS Sports HQ
The Washington Redskins fired head coach Jay Gruden on Monday morning after the team fell to 0-5 on the season following a 33-7 loss to the Patriots. It was Washington's seventh consecutive loss dating back to last season.
Bill Callahan, the Redskins assistant head coach and offensive line coach, has been named interim head coach.
Gruden was very aware of his position following the most recent loss: "If the key works Monday, I'll keep working," he said.
Gruden, 52, had been with the franchise for a little more than five full seasons and accumulated a 35-49-1 record. The lone playoff appearance ended with a wild-card loss to the Packers in 2015. He served in just two other roles in the NFL before taking the helm in Washington: offensive coordinator of the Bengals from 2011 to 2013 and offensive assistant with the Buccaneers from 2002 to 2008. CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora had recently reported that a divorce between the Redskins and Gruden was imminent and that fans should not be surprised if he resurfaces as the offensive coordinator under his brother, Jon Gruden, with the Las Vegas Raiders next season.
