Update: Watch a press conference introducing Gruden below.

Original post

Less than two weeks after firing head coach Mike Shanahan, the Washington football team has hired Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden as their new head coach, multiple reports say.

Gruden has been the Offensive Coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals since 2011, and before that served as the head coach and offensive coordinator of the Florida Tuskers, a United Football Team league (the Florida Tuskers moved to Virginia and became the Virginia Destroyers after Gruden left for Cincinnati).

The team is expected to hold a press conference later this afternoon to introduce Gruden as their head coach, as well as announced the hirings of a new Defensive and Offensive Coordinator.
