#Redskins had interest in speaking with Crennel about DC job, but source said they were denied permission to speak with him.

Re: The coordinators
 

I highly doubt Crennel wants to come here.

Crennel promoted to assistant head coach.

So, there goes that. There also goes interviewing Vrabel. So, now, the question is, are the 'skins still hellbent on interviewing up to 8 candidates, or can they say at this point, they've interviewed enough? They've interviewed five. How many teams around the league still don't have a DC yet? There's the 49ers, Chargers, Redskins, and I think the Dolphins. Who else? That's four teams. There's, technically, five candidates that we know of.

Good point. It may be time for the Redskins to go with Plan B.

Or, could they be waiting to interview a coach whose team is still in the playoffs?

Re: The coordinators
 

Just heard we are interviewing Dennis Thurman for D.C. Job,he has been a db coach most of his coaching career maybe we bring him on as the db coach and hire Bradley or pettine as the D.C. Since they both worked in Baltimore together..

Satisfies the Rooney rule.

Re: The coordinators
 

Can we please get a DC who has coached defenses that were NOT at the bottom of the league rankings. It's not a complicated thought.

Re: The coordinators
 

Dennis Thurman would make the sixth candidate (and satisfy the Rooney Rule). I don't really know of any coach on the defensive side of the ball for the Packers I would want here as our DC, I don't think the Falcons are going to want to lose anymore coordinators or coaches (with Shanahan set to leave for the San Fran job), maybe there's someone one the Pittsburgh or New England coaching staff that is ready to make the next step up to defensive coordinator? Other than that, I don't really see a need to wait until the playoffs are over to interview anybody from those teams.

I think the 'skins just need to go ahead and pull the trigger on Pettine or Bradley.

Another solid candidate imo, has coordinated some decent defenses in both New York and Buffalo, and was with Baltimore for several years as an assistant before that. But one thing to note when you look at his rankings, all four years as a coordinator were under Rex Ryan

Agreed, I would be fine with this hire

Does he have any connections with the other DC candidates? Rob Ryan for instance?

Re: The coordinators
 

Thurman and Mike Pettine have a long history together. Both were hired by Baltimore in 2002, Thurman as a "defensive assistant" and Pettine as "coaching and video assistant." Thurman eventually moved to coaching their secondary until he was hired by New York Jets in 2008 for the same position. Pettine was promoted to outside linebackers coach, and then in 2009 also left Baltimore for New York to become the defensive coordinator under Rex Ryan. Pettine kept Thurman as his secondary coach. Sidenote, when Pettine was hired by the Browns, Rex promoted Thurman to defensive coordinator

Rob Ryan and Thurman were together in Buffalo last year, thats all I could find

Bradley and Manusky have no history with Thurman as far as I know

Ah, a connection with Pettine. Now, I'm starting to like this. We do need a secondary coach I believe as well.

As far as OC and Callahan:

I like this tidbit. Thanks for sharing.

Also here's a good wrap-up on our list of candidates and it makes a solid argument against Dennis Thurman. I'd rather have Pettine over Thurman.

That's a very good summary. I still like Bradley or Pettine. I trust that Scot will bring in plenty of talent this year to help any DC succeed.

I agree. I'm hoping these further interviews are them trying to get an idea on a potential staff if they sign Bradley or Pettine.

That's what it's looking like to me. Maybe the top candidates had mentioned in their interviews who they would want on their coaching staff, so the team is going back through and interviewing the names they've mentioned. That makes a lot of sense. Hopefully we're heading down the home stretch on this.

Re: The coordinators
 

We are losing another one to McVay:

If he had anything to do with the debacle that was our secondary, we won't miss him anyways.

Re: The coordinators
 

Well, sounds like there is one interview today and with the Senior Bowl practices starting on Monday, it's very likely that a decision will be made between now and Sunday so the new defensive staff can scout the Seniors...

Any last predictions?

I think Bradley is going to the Chargers - maybe 49ers... Thurman is likely a check the block candidate. I can't make myself believe Ryan or Tarver were serious candidates. Pettine and Pagano have an outside chance, but...

I could be wrong, but my money is on Manusky. Seems odd to fire the D coordinator, D line coach and D back coach, but not the linebackers coaches unless you had a plan for them. On top of that, any outside guy coming in is going to want to hire his own staff, not have two linebacker coaches forced onto him.

Re: The coordinators
 

My gut says Pettine.

Re: The coordinators
 

I hope Pettine, think Manusky

Re: The coordinators
 

I wouldn't have a problem with Manusky. Ultimately we have a talent issue, so until we get serious upgrades there it's not going to matter who the DC is.

Re: The coordinators
 

My hope Thurman or Pettine. They have kept coaches though different tenures multiple times. I just want someone who will adjust the defense to fit the talent and leverage the skills of the player to excel.

Link or it didn't happen.

Re: The coordinators
 

Any thoughts on the OC and DC positions are already filled and we are interviewing for the remaining openings? We hired a new QB coach, that would imply our current QB coach has a new position.

Re: The coordinators
 

I played with our new QB coach at San Diego State for a year. Good guy.

Must mean Cavanaugh is definitely getting promoted.

Re: The coordinators
 

Who is the new qb coach? I mustve missed that.
