Big fan of the Callahan move. Finally getting some adults in the room.

Three words for the power running game: Silas Freakin' Redd.

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

I like the Callahan hire but I get the feeling he will be our head coach in 2016.

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

I hope Callahan is able to turn the offensive line into a decent unit right away. If we want any chance at developing RG3 or any young QB, we need to have a good line that can overcome the deficiencies of a developing QB.

[QUOTE=CrustyRedskin;1105052]Seems like Linehan has been the major asset to the Cowboys Offensive staff, not Callihan.[/QUOTE]
Linehan was there 1 year. Their line was built under Callahan, Linehan moreso solved the playcalling issue that Garrett couldn't handle.

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

Callhan has coached the likes of Steve Wiesnwski, Lincoln Kennedy, Barrett Robbins, Matt Stinchcomb, Nick Mangold, Alan Faneca, Brick Ferguson and
the cowboys line. I would say he knows what he's doing and is night and day over Foerster.

Another Callahan connection...

@john_keim: connections do matter with Gruden too: Shares agent with Callahan, Fangio and Donatell. got one. Will he get others?

Hopefully we get some good news this weekend

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

Said it last year and can quote it. Everyone was down about Seastrunk getting cut, but I knew my man Redd Jr. was a beast. He's got power and agility. He just needs more reps.

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

If we got Fangio and Donatell...then I agree with Bruce, we WOULD be winning the offseason

Nevertheless, we could still use an explosive homerun-hitting back.

I would totally against signing him him even if he was in his prime. the world has no place from child beaters or woman abusers (RR). I hope no signs either of them.....

Everything is pointing with AP joining the Cowboys. They not gonna pay Murray...but they will pay AP.

SO could see AP with the Cowboys. Cowboys don't give two shits about character flaws.

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

Anyone have an update on Fangio?
I haven't seen any reports anywhere that express that Fangio is even interested in the Skins job. I just dont want to get my hopes up on a pipe dream.

If I were him I would hope for (in this order)
1. Head coaching job (is he being considered anywhere?, Atl, Den, Chi?)
2. DC of either Seattle or Cards (to take it to the 49ers...these teams have a strong D)
3. A DC role with a playoff caliber team
4. A bad team that will pay the most (redskins)
5. A bad team that pays average

Anyone have any thoughts on this?
I just dont see it happening for Fangio....maybe the other 49er guy is our man if they dont stick together inside their division?

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

I see Fangio reports of possible interview!

There it is. RT @MarkMaske: Vic Fangio will interview for Redskins' defensive coordinator job, possibly Saturday, according to NFL source.

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

I actually have a high opinion of Foerster and I think most around the league still do, but it's a matter of fit. Gruden clearly wants to run more of what they had in Cincy - power and gap running. Foerster is a zone guy. Just doesn't fit.

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

Isnt Fangio something you order after you have baked Ziti and sangria?

Yeah Callahan and Foerster are both fine coaches in their own right. Callahan just makes more sense for where we want to go.

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

I am VERY glad Fangio is interviewing....mainly because he isnt Barry or Morris.
He sure looks good as a 49ers DC with all that talent...but he didn't do so hot elsewhere.
Not sure his is AMAZING or anything...but I am sure he is better than Haz-not.

Is Vic Fangio really considered the top DC?
What about Wade Phillips or Dick LeBeau or Jim Schwartz?
Who of the 4 is actually the best statistically?

I will be happy with any...but I'd prefer the best of the group...and I don't care if they need a hover-round on game day!

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

Most coaches do look pretty good when they have talent to work with.

Yeah, it's hard to say whether Fangio made Willis or Willis made Fangio.

I wish we'd call LeBeau. If we can hire a GM with life problems, we can hire a HoF old timer.

They need to make that happen.

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

They need to hire a very experienced QB coach who has been successful in the NFL - a true mentor who will command the respect of his pupils (Don't anybody say Zorn; I know how you wiseacres think!). This is a critically important hire, IMO.

Jay Gruden needs as many self-starters who have "seen it all" as he can get on his staff so he can point them at a problem and expect it to get fixed. I say that because I think Jay bit off more than he could chew last season and he needs some wise heads to relieve his burden and advise him while he develops as an NFL HC. This ain't the UFL, Jay!

I believe in hiring people to work for you who are smarter than you are. It makes you more successful, eases your workload, and reduces stress.

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

I would ask Tavita Pritchard, Stanford's QB coach. At Stanford they use virtual reality system to allow back up qb's to run through scenarios and make reads. I would like to see the Skins to be the first to use it in the NFL.

Per Dianna Russini:
Vic Fangio will meet with the Chicago Bears first, then he will come to Washington DC to interview for defensive coordinator.

I hope Fangio makes it to DC before he decides on his next DC job. John Fox and crew may not let him leave the building without signing a contract.

The thought process is probably that an offer in hand from another team will make the Skins drop some cash.

Chicago and Fox also like Dennis Allen as a possible DC.

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

Per Jason La Canfora: Vic Fangio, who also drew interest from the Bears and others, is now meeting with the Skins, who have very serious intent.
