No NFL head coach’s seat is hotter right now than Jay Gruden’s, with his Washington Redskins off to an 0-4 start and the New England Patriots up next.

The Redskins will likely be 0-5 after Sunday. Will a change be coming?

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith is hearing that it’s probable.

The First Take co-host said on this morning’s show that he’s heard Gruden could be fired as early as next week. With the Redskins at 0-5, a change wouldn’t be surprising.

Smith crushed Gruden following the Redskins’ loss to the Bears on Monday Night Football in Week 3.

I think Jay Gruden just lost his job tonight. What a disgraceful performance by the @Redskins offense. This is @FiftyDeuce you’re going against. Why is he being covered 1-on-1. The @ChicagoBears are having their way. I guess you can blame injuries, but damn! Year-after-year. — Stephen A Smith (@stephenasmith) September 24, 2019

Gruden, 52, has been the Redskins’ head coach since 2014. The team has gone 35-48-1, making the playoffs once (in 2015 when they won the NFC East at 9-7).

The speculation about Gruden’s future is very much out there, so much so that his own players are talking about it on social media.

Running back Derrius Guice says he likes his head coach.

Ion care what y’all say. But I love Jay. 🤷🏾‍♂️ — 2️⃣9️⃣ (@DhaSickest) September 29, 2019

We’ll see if Gruden is still his head coach at this time next week…

The Redskins and the Patriots are set to play at 1 p.m. E.T. on CBS.
