Any news on the ST coach? Bobby April I believe?

I am still interested in who the DC is. I still want Zim.

Dennison has had one of the best lines for years.

I think I heard somewhere we're talking to former Giants DL coach Mike Waufle

Re: Coaching Staff update
 

I don't really care who the next staff is specifically, I'm just looking for a new outlook and some passion to win. Everyone should be removed from the staff, no exceptions.

Re: Coaching Staff update
 

what about us bringing in (IF we definitley can't get Zim, and Gray isn't shanny's choice) Ron Riveria?? He's flexible with his defensive knowledge. he ran the 4-3 in chicago and now runs the 3-4 in san diego.

To be the DL coach or to be the DC? I get the feeling that the Giants used the defense as a scapegoat, because their offense was just as bad in that two-game losing streak.

Anyone know how was he as a DC? I read that he was the DC in Pittsburgh from 1997 through 1999.

I hear Haslett is a yeller and name caller to his players. That said, I don't think that would go well with players like Albert Haynesworth.

Not that great. This year (pre-playoffs) aside, Zimmer has never been that good of a DC either. Right now, i'm favoring Crennel.

Stump is officially gone.

[B]Mitchell takes Southern University job[/B]

Running backs coach Stump Mitchell said today that he plans to leave the Redskins and accept the head coaching position at Southern University in Baton Rouge, La.

"I had an opportunity to meet with Coach [Mike] Shanahan [Sunday] and talk to him today. I'm confident that Bruce Allen and Coach Shanahan are going to make a great combination," Mitchell said in a phone conversation this afternoon. "I'm confident the Washington Redskins are in great hands, and I would've enjoyed joining them. But I have an opportunity at Southern. I'm going to take the job at Southern."

Mitchell, one of just a handful of coaches that Jim Zorn hired for his staff, said he was likely to leave the Washington area today and could be introduced as soon as Wednesday as Southern's next coach. Southern offered Mitchell the position Dec. 31.

Mitchell had only kind words to say about Shanahan and said he could've waited to find out how Shanahan plans to build his coaching staff, "but Southern can't wait."

"I'm a football coach, and I just want to help my players get better," Mitchell said. "I've had a great experience with the Redskins, had a great experience with the guys I coach. And I wish everyone here just the best."

Mike Zimmer:

[QUOTE][I]He joined the Dallas Cowboys in 1994 as an assistant coach of the nickel defense under Barry Switzer. He was promoted to defensive backs coach (1995-99) before being promoted to defensive coordinator in 2000. The 2004 Dallas Cowboys gave up the fewest yards in the NFL while running an aggressive speedy 4-3 defense. Despite the Cowboys' problems over the years, Zimmer has survived coaching changes (Switzer, Chan Gailey, Dave Campo, Bill Parcells) and rumored to have been a candidate for the head coaching job at the University of Nebraska (2003). For the 2005 season, he implemented the 3-4 defense favored by head coach Parcells, although Zimmer had no prior experience with it.
