Jay Gruden spent almost six seasons as head coach of the then-Washington Redskins before he was fired in 2019, making him the most successful coach of the Daniel Snyder era. The legendary Joe Gibbs coached for only four years in his second stint before walking away, but he led Washington to two playoff berths.
These days, Gruden is an analyst covering Washington and the rest of the NFL. Gruden roots for the Commanders now that Snyder is no longer the team’s owner.
Like everyone else, Gruden is a huge fan of Washington rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. After the Commanders blew out Arizona on Sunday, Gruden tweeted the following.
It’s official. Jayden is a bad ass.

Jay Gruden isn’t the only one in his family who is a fan of Daniels. His older brother, Jon, the former Super Bowl-winning coach of the Buccaneers and Raiders, revealed uniquely how much he enjoys Daniels.

On Monday, Jay Gruden joined “Grant and Danny” of 106.7 The Fan for his weekly spot and discussed Daniels.
Jay Gruden on why the Commanders’ offense is humming:
“The offense is doing a great job of staying in positive down and distance, staying ahead of the chains so they’re not in 3rd and long. They’re playing from ahead so they’re not coming from behind, they’re not one… pic.twitter.com/HA6HpF0Y4i

Regardless of what anyone thinks of the Gruden’s, they know offense. And they are huge fans of Washington’s new signal-caller.
