Jay Gruden was a young face who had never been a head coach in the NFL, was the brother of a super bowl winning coach and took what many people thought was a shit team and made them respectable. He had a lot of undeserved hype and most of us here were actually happy to be rid of him.
We now know that Dalton is actually a good player and it wasn't Gruden that "made him" like a lot of analysts were thinking back then. It almost looks like Gruden was holding Dalton back. He had a "very similar" QB in Washington in Cousins and has made him a virtual laughing stock in the NFL, or at the most a sub par QB who needs to be replaced.
Washington would take back that hire if they could.
At worst, it's unrelated to Hue's situation, who already has a blemish on his head coaching career. At best, it is an example of why Hue would not get a quick head coaching job.
