Just like we tell Giants fans Morris is trash. So we now have a recycling program.

Callahan and fewell are strong position coach hires. Looking for that QB coach next...things are looking up so far this offseason. If we can add the front office dude from Green Bay too, wow, I'm pretty happy then.

No Bucs connection to Fewell either for the crony lovers.

[quote=Chico23231;1106214]Redskins hired ex-Giants DC Perry Fewell as DBs coach.

Fewell was also a candidate for the 49ers' defensive-backs job. Fewell has been coordinating defenses or coaching defensive backs in the NFL since 1998. He's a nice addition to DC Joe Barry's staff, especially since Barry himself was such an underwhelming hire

per rotoworld

nice hire imo. really nice[/quote]

Yeah, I think this is a solid hire.

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

It's nice to have 2 DC's on staff that help each other (Barry/Fewell) unlike (Haslett/Morris).

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

Yeah, I wasn't in the meeting rooms or the like, but it did seem that Haz and Morris were not the best of mixes. I have nothing but rumor and speculation to go on but just not sure the two complemented each other well.

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

How do we know Fewell and Barry are going to work well together?

[quote=Mattyk;1106228]No Bucs connection to Fewell either for the crony lovers.[/quote]

Well, no IMMEDIATE Bucs connection.

In 2005, he coached DB's in Chicago under head coach Lovie Smith

From 1996 - 2000, Lovie Smith was LB coach while Rod Marinelli was DL coach under DC Monte Kiffin [B]IN TAMPA!![/B]

Further: Rod Marinelli is John Barry's father-in-law. AND Marinelli was DL
Coach while JON Gruden was Head Coach of (wait for it) .....

[B][I]TAMPA BAY!!![/I][/B]


Clearly, Fewell was hired b/c of his connections to Gruden and Barry, not b/c he coached a SB winning defense. Rank cronyism at its worst.

Just look at my "Crony by Connection Chart" above. They are practically sleeping together. duh ...

I agree, I also like both of those hires.

Sounds like Highsmith is staying in GB., they won't grant him permission to interview. Seems like a guy they don't want to lose. It does feel like things are trending up. Very curious to see how the draft plays out.

According to twitterverse, Haz wanted to fire Raheem but that was a no-go with Bruce. Probably gives credibility to Jsteelze saying that Raheem was calling some of the defense last year.
