Re: Coaching Staff update
 

[quote=diehardskin2982;657256]After mulling over the overall coaching hires. I actually like the staff for us. The biggest issue that I saw of past coaching staffs is that that I got a feel that there were too many chiefs and not enough indians. Too many spoons in the pot. This time around I feel that Shanny is the one and only chief.[/quote]

So far I like the mix of this staff as well. Clearly, where a coach that Shanahan et al were comfortable with, they went with them, but the assistants all seem solid and reputable. With WR, and maybe strength and conditioning(don't recall hearing anything about that position) left to fill, I am impressed with what looks to be a very cohesive group. I am glad that there are no apparent grandfather clause, or I've got pictures, type hirings, and that each one seems to live up to the threshold MS set, meaning that they know their position better than MS does.

Will it all work right? we will see. So far 2010 has been a solid year for me as a Redskins fan!

This made me laugh. In a haha funny way as well as a we always seem to win the offseason chuckle of uneasiness.

Last I heard no one's been named.[/quote]

This could be a clue

In other coaching news, former Tampa Bay receivers coach Richard Mann - a candidate for the same job in Washington - was let go by the Buccaneers; his contract was to expire at the end of the month. Shanahan has not yet hired his receivers coach.

It seems some 49ers fans tend to think they had a horrible oline this year under Forester.

I hope they are wrong....on the other hand, we claim to had one of the worst lines this year and we had Buges...perhaps it is strictly talent related

Doesn't everyone tend to think the worst of their own players/coaches, etc.?

I heard a caller on NFL radio today going on and on about what he was worried about with the Vikings and they finally had to cut him off and say hey, you guys are in the NFC Championship game for a reason! lol

Re: Coaching Staff update
 

SFREDSKIN talk to me!!...Tell us what you know about coach Forester. I've never heard of him but he's got a resume filled with experience. I guess if Richard Mann is signed as WR coach, the staff will be just about complete.

What is the correct spelling of this guy's name, is it Foerster or Forester?

With a name like this, time to add him to the misspelled names hall of fame with carlos rodgers and kedric gholston. LOL.

Re: Coaching Staff update
 

I feel like we hired this guy just to hire someone, not because we really wanted him.

I got it, it's Chris Foerster. I had seen it spelled a couple different ways, looked him up and hopefully got it right.

With the exception of Kyle Shanahan and Matt LaFleur, this coaching staff is long on experience.

Re: Coaching Staff update
 

The worst O-Line in the league last year was ironically the Green Bay Packers (51 sacks) followed by the Pittsburgh Steelers (50 sacks). San Fran was 11th worst (40 sacks). Either way main thing that makes me happy is the fact that Tom Cable is no longer a candidate to coach the Redskins. Oh yeah, we were 5th worst with 46 sacks.

Any particular reason for this, or just the normal redskins cynicism? I tend to be optimistic this time of year, but I think that most, if not all, of these hires show reflective thought, and not just the throw up the hands and hire someone mentality. Looking at the production each individual coach has gotten from players during their tenure, it sure seems offensively that they all have a pretty good grasp on getting the most out of the players they have been responsible for.

Re: Coaching Staff update
 

I have seen nothing from the recent hires to make me less optimistic. Shanny said he was going after the best, and everyone so far seems to have nice creditials. Last year we had coaches in new positions which I think was a problem and didn't really instill a lot of confidence. I can't wait to see these guys in action. Coach 'em up!

Because our first two guys we wanted didn't accept the job, and we have very little to no time before scouting in the college games like the shrine game and senior bowl starts, and this guy hasn't worked with zone blocking teams like the broncos or texans. Thats why I'm being a negative nancy.

Re: Coaching Staff update
 

The guy has a solid resume, simply based on his credentials seems like a move that's hard to hate on
