It seems impossible that we would......not have been having under the table conversations with the agents of anyone we are interested in.

How come there hasn't been much discussion of Mike Zimmer? Did I miss something? Of all the coordinators he seems to have the best track record over a good period of time. He has experience in the 3-4 and the 4-3. He has always been loved by his players and seems (imo) to have the "it" that a HC needs? Any thoughts?

Who knows, he could be on the radar. McDermott kinda came out of nowhere so you can never tell. With a game coming up this weekend he can't be interviewed until next week though.

Re: Choose Your 2014 Redskins Head Coach (Volume 2)
 

Would Zimmer be willing to uproot his family and move to DC?

Re: Choose Your 2014 Redskins Head Coach (Volume 2)
 

Different approach:

Fact 1: We sucked badly with coaches
Fact 2: Coaches cost money
Conclusion: Working without coaches can´t make us suck more and saves money
Decision: No more coaches

I wonder if it's a personal thing for Zimmer, I remember his wife passing away sometime in the last couple years, maybe he doesn't want to leave his current way of life or something.

Shaw has said repeatedly that he's not interested in the NFL at this time so I doubt he'd even take the time to interview. Morris will surely get interviewed in house, which would fulfill the Rooney requirement, but I hope they would look to meet that with a 'serious' candidate as well.

Hogs heaven has another article on him. Seems like he would be a very zorn-esque hire to me. Doesn't seem to have great leadership qualities. Of the current coordinator candidates, jay Gruden and McDermott are the only ones who interest me

Re: Choose Your 2014 Redskins Head Coach (Volume 2)
 

Ian Rappaport said we're scheduled to interview Jim Caldwell (Ravens OC). Great QB coach, average coordinator, not interested as a head coach. Manning loved him in Indy but it all fell apart when he got hurt.

Interesting . . . he had such a great start his first two years as HC in Indy, clearly Peyton Manning helps ALOT. I mean, not only does his talent win games on its own AND elevate the level of play of everyone around him, but he is also a coach-in-player. I wonder what, if anything particular, Caldwell is missing that would result in that 2-14 season? I mean, loosing Manning is a hard thing to bounce back from, not that it excuses such an abysmal record, but maybe just as his first couple of seasons may look better for him because of PM his last season looks more his fault than it really was. Might be worth the look.

Re: Choose Your 2014 Redskins Head Coach (Volume 2)
 

If I had to pick a new HC right now I'd go with Bevell.

Re: Choose Your 2014 Redskins Head Coach (Volume 2)
 

If we were to go with Mcdermott, does he stick with Haslett or go elsewhere? Would they mesh well? Would he stick with 3-4?

This article sounds like he might use the players he's got in whatever formation works best considering the situation, which is GOOD!

Perry fewell.... Jim caldwell... There is no rational reason to seriously interview either of them.... Unless they're just interviewing bad candidates so the fanbase will be relieved when they hire someone we otherwise wouldn't like

Well Dungy def is encouraging Lovie toward Tampa. I think it's a mistake. That's a damn tough division with New Orleans and Carolina already elite (saints will be even better next year) and Atlanta likely to rebound. Lovie will have to 12-13 games a year to win the division. Come to DC and win the division in probably 10 games.

I think he must really not want to come here. To bad. I still think he's the best HC available by a wide margin and just read an article that his hand picked OC is the guy who developed Aaron Rodgers. Would have been a great situation for RG

Caldwell has an excellent reputation for the passing game and QB. They could be asking his assessment of what he'd do with RG3 and get ideas of his perceived strengths & weaknesses.

Fewell has faced the Redskins multiple times each of the past 3 seasons, why not pick his brain to get a divisional opponents perspective on us?

Point is, the interview process isn't only to fill the empty spot. Sometimes it's also to do some information gathering and it's possible you may hear/see/learn something or about someone that benefits you.

Exactly, never hurts to pick as many brains as possible. They're both worthy candidates as well.

Caldwell was 2-14 in his only year as head coach without Peyton manning. The giants defense was almost worse than ours this year. Nether is a worthy candidate for a nfl head coaching position. Id question if Fewell is even an upgrade at defensive coordinator over haslett.

Yes he's worthy of being interviewed based on his resume.

It doesn't mean he's being strongly considered for the job.

So are coaches suppose to be hired strictly based on stats? No coach can have success without good players on the field. Fewell is well deserving of a interview.

Re: Choose Your 2014 Redskins Head Coach (Volume 2)
