Redskins
Coach Jay Gruden Fired and IAAF World Championships End with US Lead
Washington Redskins
coach Jay Gruden has been fired, according to a report from the Associated
Press.
The team owner made the announcement following a 33-7 loss against the New
England Patriots bringing the team to an 0-5 streak to start the season. Under
Gruden the team only made the playoffs on one occasion and his record with the
team stands at 35-49-1. The AP quotes Redskins President Bruce Allen:
“To make a decision like this is difficult, but it was
necessary. Our 0-5 start is not just disappointing. We had much different
expectations for the beginning of the season. We owe it to our fans, ... the
organization, the players, the coaches and their families to do everything we
can to win.”
The IAAF World
Championships tournament wrapped up on Sunday, October 6 with the U.S. leading
on the scoreboard. The U.S. scored 14 gold and 29 medals in total, followed by
Kenya and Jamaica, who finished with 11 and 12 total medals, respectively.
