ASHBURN, Va. Jack Youngblood Jersey . -- The face was different, the words familiar. Like Mike Shanahan and nearly every recent Washington Redskins coach, Jay Gruden is anxious to declare an end to franchises days of dysfunction. "I dont know what happened last year," Gruden said. "I know that interviewing with Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen and everybody here that the passion for excellence is there. All they want to do is win, and theyre going to provide me with every avenue to win." Gruden was introduced Thursday as the man charged with ending the perpetual state of turmoil the team has endured under owner Snyder and recently under general manager Allen. Gruden was a given a five-year contact for his first NFL head coaching gig, taking over a 3-13 team that has finished last in the NFC East in five of the last six seasons. "We HAVE to get it right," said Allen, who led the search and interviewed six candidates. "We need to get the franchise back on track in a winning direction. ... We were looking for a new leader, somebody who can inspire our football team. We knew it was more than just X and Os, it was about finding the right person to build a team chemistry that we needed." Gruden is Snyders eighth coach in 16 seasons as an NFL owner. Unlike Shanahan, who was fired last week, Gruden will not have final say over all football matters. Hell report to Allen, who has taken charge of assembling the roster and other personnel decisions. Snyder attended the news conference but did not speak to reporters. The 46-year-old Gruden has spent the last three seasons as the offensive co-ordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals, where his skill in helping to develop Andy Dalton will no doubt be of use when he takes on the task of grooming another young franchise quarterback, Robert Griffin III. Gruden praised the talents of Griffin and spoke of the need to build a "genuine" trust with the quarterback, who regressed this season after winning the APs Offensive Rookie of the Year award in 2012. Griffin returned from major knee surgery to start 13 games, but he publicly disagreed with some of Shanahans decisions, struggled as a drop-back passer and was benched for the final three weeks. Asked to confirm that Griffin will be the starter, Gruden chuckled and said: "I dont see him as a backup." "I see every trait that a quarterback has to have to be successful, I see Robert having all of those," Gruden said. "So why wouldnt you want to coach a guy like that? ... Im going to let him know that Im a trustworthy guy. Hes also got to understand that I expect a lot from the starting quarterback. I expect him to come in and prepare and work hard, and I expect him to take the blame on some throws. I expect him to be a great leader." Griffin limited his comments to a quick post on his Facebook page: "Excited about the hiring of Coach Jay Gruden. Cant wait to get to work with him & the guys!" Gruden said he will call the plays himself and that he has yet to decide which members of Shanahans staff to retain. It seems a safe bet, however, that some combination of defensive co-ordinator Jim Haslett, defensive backs coach Raheem Morris and tight ends coach Sean McVay has a good chance of sticking around, based on the trios previous relationship with the new coach. Gruden also said hes a fan of the 3-4 defence that Haslett has used the last four years. "I know theres a lot of coaches here who can coach," Gruden said. Gruden has been largely overshadowed by his more famous brother, Jon Gruden, who won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is now an analyst on "Monday Night Football." But Jay Gruden has been a name on the rise based on his success with Dalton and the Bengals offence. Jay Gruden interviewed for multiple head coaching openings last year and had drawn interest from at least three other teams seeking to fill a head coaching vacancy this year. He interviewed with the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday. The Redskins had to wait until the Bengals played their first-round playoff game before Gruden could be courted. It took a bad day from Gruden and Dalton -- scoring only 10 points in a home loss to the San Diego Chargers -- to make Gruden free to be hired this week. "I told him it worked out well that Cincinnati lost," Allen said. "He still doesnt understand that." Gruden said his ties within the Washington organization played a "big role" in his decision. He was an assistant coach with Tampa Bay from 2002-08, where he worked at various times with Allen, Morris and McVay. Gruden also coached under Haslett with the UFLs Florida Tuskers in 2009. Theres no question Gruden has paid his dues. He was a quarterback in the long-defunct World League of American Football, then went to the Arena Football League and began a playing and coaching career that was so successful it landed him in the AFL Hall of Fame in 1999. Hes been a head coach both the AFL and UFL, including two stints with the AFLs Orlando Predators. In 2010, after Haslett left for the Redskins, Gruden was head coach and general manager of the Tuskers and led them to the UFL championship game. "Theres a lot of work to do," Gruden said. "When youre 3-13, theres not one particular player or reason, theres a lot of reasons and theres a lot of things that need to be fixed." Samson Ebukam Jersey . PAUL, Minn. Marshall Faulk Jersey . Perhaps their first trip to the city of Winnipeg in 16 years can serve as the shakeup they need. http://www.cheapramsjerseyssale.com/?tag=johnny-mundt-jersey-sale . -- The defending Canadian womens curling champions squandered an opportunity to take sole possession of first place in the standings Tuesday at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. MIAMI -- In a rookie season filled with impressive outings, Jose Fernandez may have come up with his best. The 21-year old All-Star allowed one hit and struck out nine in seven innings to lead the Miami Marlins to a 7-0 victory over the Washington Nationals on Friday night. "I think tonight was probably the best," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "Watching the way he commands his pitches against a great lineup. He really was in complete control tonight. It seemed like he could do whatever he wanted to up there with his pitches." Fernandez (11-6) retired the first 14 batters before walking Adam LaRoche in the fifth. "It was the first time that it came through the mind actually that I had a chance to throw a perfect game or a no-hitter," Fernandez said. He didnt allow a hit until the sixth with one out when pinch-hitter Zach Walters hit a dribbler up the third-base line for a base hit in his first big league at-bat. "Its a tough way to lose it, but its fine," Fernandez said. "The funny thing is he came on as a pinch-hitter so I looked back to see how he was hitting and I saw all zeroes on the board so I said, Its this guys first time in the big leagues. This movie came to my mind, Perfect Game, when they send a pinch-hitter in. I was trying to make a good pitch, but what can you do about it?" Third baseman Placido Polanco didnt have a play on the slow roller that went about 70 feet and was hoping it would roll foul, but the ball stayed on the infield grass. "I had no idea where it was and everyone yelled, Run, Forrest, run," Walters said, referring to the movie "Forrest Gump." Fernandez acknowledged Walters after he reached safely. "He gave me a smile when I was at first," Walters said. "I tried not to smile back." The Nationals dugout also enjoyed the moment. "We all got a good laugh out of that, he breaks up a no-hitter with a big smash, his first hit was a swinging bunt," Nationals manager Davey Johnson said. "But hell take it." Fernandez, who lowered his ERA to 2.23, is expected to have one more start on Wednesday at home against Atlanta before he is shut down for the season. He has a 170-inning limit placed on him and he has thrown 165 2-3 innings. "Im thinking about being a bat boy after that," Fernandez said. &"Really I was going to ask if I can be a bat boy for some games because I dont imagine myself just sitting in the dugout, I need to do something. Jared Goff Jersey. Im the guy thats always moving around and need to do something. I dont know, its going to be fun. Its going to be different and well see what happens." Giancarlo Stanton homered and drove in three runs for the Marlins, Logan Morrison hit an estimated 467-foot home run, which is the longest in Marlins Park history, and drove in two runs, and Chris Coghlan had three hits. "(Jose) brings so much excitement to the ballpark and this team and you can just tell the guys really feed off of that and I think you saw that in the offence," Redmond said. "It was fun to watch." Stanton hit a two-run single in the first inning and Polanco followed with a sacrifice fly to give Miami an early 3-0 lead against Dan Haren (8-13). Stanton walked in the third and scored on a two-run home run by Morrison to deep right-centre field for a 5-0 lead. "It felt like I hit a rubber ball, nice and easy," Morrison said. Haren lasted just three innings and allowed five runs and six hits. He was coming off another short outing as he pitched 2 2-3 innings and allowed seven runs in a loss to the New York Mets on Aug. 31. "Im at a loss for words," Haren said. "The way my season is going, two starts in a row where I cant get out of the fourth inning, I have no explanation for it. I feel terrible about it from a team standpoint and personally I dont feel good about it either." Stantons home run in the eighth completed the scoring. NOTES: Fernandez is 8-0 with a 1.19 ERA in 14 starts at home. ... Nationals CF Denard Span, who is on a 17-game hitting streak, was a late scratch to the lineup with tightness in his groin. "My groin tightened," Span said. "Its day-to-day for right now. Ill get some treatment on it the next couple days and see how it goes." ... The longest home run previously hit at the stadium was Stantons 462-foot blast on May 21, 2012 off Colorados Jamie Moyer. ... Nationals LHP Ross Detwiler will throw a bullpen session over the weekend with hopes of returning at some point this season. ... Washington RHP Tanner Roark (4-0, 1.19 ERA) will take the mound on Saturday and face Miami RHP Nathan Eovaldi (3-5, 3.40 ERA).
