The Washington Redskins are finally first at something. The 0-5 team has fired Jay Gruden, becoming the first franchise of the fall to get rid of its coach. According to the Washington Post, Gruden was informed of his dismissal in a 5 a.m. meeting Monday morning with owner Daniel Snyder and team President Bruce Allen. Gruden was the longest-tenured coach in the tempestuous Snyder era, with a 35-49-1 record in five-plus seasons. The Redskins have scheduled a 1 p.m. news conference.
