Redskins fire head coach Jay Gruden after 0-5 start

Following their embarrassing 33-7 loss to the New England Patriots to fall to 0-5 on the 2019 NFL season, the Washington Redskins have finally decided to make a coaching change.

The team announced Monday that they have parted ways with head coach Jay Gruden, who is in his sixth season with the franchise.

“Through the first five games of the 2019 season, the team has clearly not performed up to expectations, and we all share in that responsibility,” said the team in a statement.

“Moving forward we are committed to doing all that we can collectively as an organization to turn things around and give our Redskins fans and alumni a team they can be proud of in 2019 and beyond.”

The 52-year old, who was initially hired in January 2014, led the team to a combined 35-49-1 record, and just one playoff appearance during his tenure.

In the meantime, offensive lines coach Bill Callahan takes over the role on an interim basis.

The Redskins hope to get their first win of the season when they take on the lowly Miami Dolphins in Week 6 on October 13th.
