The Redskins have fired coach Jay Gruden after losing their first five games this season.
A 33-7 home defeat to the Patriots on Sunday dropped the Redskins to 0-5 for the first time since 2001.
The team released the following statement:
"Through the first five games of the 2019 season, the team has clearly not performed up to expectations, and we all share in that responsibility. Moving forward we are committed to doing all that we can collectively as an organization to turn things around and give our Redskins fans and alumni a team they can be proud of in 2019 and beyond."
Gruden took over as Redskins coach in 2014 and has a record of 35-49-1, leading Washington to just one playoff appearance, in 2015.
Asked about his job security after the Patriots game, Gruden said: "Nobody's told me anything. If the key works on Monday, I'll keep working.
"I've been provided ample opportunities to succeed around here. I've got good players, I've got a good staff. We just haven't produced on Sundays, or Monday. So [we've] got to do better."
Assistant head coach Bill Callahan is expected to take over as interim head coach, ESPN reported. Callahan was head coach of the Raiders from 2002-03, leading Oakland to the Super Bowl in his first season.
The Redskins face another winless team, the Miami Dolphins, on Sunday.
