It looks like the another poor playoff performance by the Bengals and Andy Dalton isn’t hurting the job choices for Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden.
According to Mark Maske of the Washington Post, the Redskins “have made progress” toward a deal which would make the Bengals offensive coordinator the team’s next head coach.
The deliberations were at a sensitive stage and it was possible the deal still could unravel, according to one of those people, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic. That person called it “possible [but] not definite” that Gruden would be hired by the Redskins. The other person said an agreement was within reach but not fully completed.
The deal isn’t complete, and things could change as Gruden continues to make the rounds on job interviews.
