I see it differently. The Gruden hire feels like a Zorn hire to me. Look at recent history in Washington. Gibbs to Zorn to Shanahan to Gruden. Strong coach who demands respect and control to weaker hire that can be manipulated by Snyder more easily. Gruden's resume isn't even close to Shanahan's, and I believe that was a requirement of Snyder's. When Mike Shanahan tells a player that he's benched, the player is benched. I doubt that Gruden, a first-time head coach, has it in him to stick to his guns when Snyder asks why RG3 isn't playing. He'll cave in the interest of job security, just like Snyder wants.
