It caps a search for the Redskins that spread a wide net from the start, but settled on an offensive-minded leader. Gruden spent the past three seasons as the offensive coordinator of the Bengals, helping to guide Cincinnati to three consecutive playoff appearances. NFL.com's Jeff Darlington reported that Jim Haslett is expected to stay on as defensive coordinator. Gruden previously served under Haslett as offensive coordinator with the UFL's Florida Tuskers. The Redskins also are expected to promote tight ends coach Sean McVay to offensive coordinator, according to ESPN.
