49ers not happy Greg Roman prepared for Redskins interview, who hired Gruden

The Washington Redskins hired Cincinnati Bengals offesnive coordinator Jay Gruden as their head coach. Gruden was introduced at the end of last week.

“We needed someone who would be a good teammate to the coaches, the organization and the players in the locker room, and through this search, we kept looking for that leader and teacher,” Redskins general manager Bruce Allen explained.

“I really come back to one of the greatest quotes I know in sports or life that former Washington Redskins coach Marv Levy…said: ‘Where would you rather be than right here, right now?’

“And that quote really is what we are looking for – someone who had the fire in his belly to come and lead the Washington Redskins this season.

“I’d like to introduce to everybody the new head coach of the Washington Redskins, Mr. Jay Gruden.”

The San Francisco 49ers aren’t too thrilled because Greg Roman and Vic Fangio had prepared to interview for the job, and Washington never cancelled the interviews, or let them know, before hiring Gruden.

49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh has to be somewhat relieved to keep his coaches though.
