Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

Just caught a interview with Randy Thomas on Comcast Live, he stated the Buges would return next year, he said the team was notified today of that (GREAT). He said he was very happy about that news. Other than that he didn't know anything more than we do on the coaching search.... (if he did of course he wasn't tellin).

Sorry no link, just watched it live on comcast.

Heard that news was coming, good deal

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

This is great news. Hopefully he stays long enough to turn Heyer into a starter quality player. As well as a few 4th and 5th round guys. In my opinion nobody does more with less then Buges. I'm surprised though that hes staying with Gibbs gone and all, but if there was one guy from Gibbs staff that I wanted to keep it was Buges (That includes GW). I've said it before and I'll say it again, DC's are a dime a dozen. However position coaches that have the kind of track record that Buges has are rare.

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

Good move, Buges deserves a lot of credit considering all the adversity the O-line had to overcome.

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

WHERE'S YOUR PETITION NOW BITCHES?!?!!

:)

Good for Buges

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

Yea, I agree with ALL you guys this is a solid move in the right direction. The rest of our coaching staff so far looks like it will remain intact. I'm REALLY glad the BUGES is coming back!

If we do OK on the new HC, we might just be in pretty darn good shape here....

smoot......:)

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

Yup, another smart retention. Things are looking better and better.

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

The more this plays out, I think GW walked away. I think he asked for to much power and $$$. Just a thought.

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

Well at least they have done one thing right.

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

Good news Bugel has done a great job with the line.

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

See. There is continuity! Now everyone who was gonna slit their wrists because there wasn't going to be any continuity can go eat crow. ;)

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

1 year left on his deal right? he's one guy that can help a lot in 1 year, especially if we pick up some o linemen.
Will be good to see Buges on the sideline again, he's got a lot of fire in him.

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

Really, if one takes a step back and looks at the big picture, there is a lot of continuity. We all saw that writing on the wall for Saunders, but most of us agree that Zorn was a great pick up. I believe the FO has done a pretty good job with the assistant coaches.

We all have our opinions on the search for the head coach, but I don't feel THAT worried about next season. (Maybe just a little worried.) ;)

I was definitely on that continuity boat at first. But then I thought, well.. Its the players that go out there and play. As long as we keep the core of our O and D the same, then I think thats the majority of the continuity we need. Our guys aren't stupid, I think they can adapt to new coaches and playbooks just fine.

Yeah, I'm just really concerned about the offensive side of the ball. It's kind of like trusting a total stranger to take care of your child. I really hope Zorn (and whoever the new head coach will be) won't come in and blow up the offensive side of the ball. The guys I consider core Redskins, Sellers, Cooley, Portis, Betts, Moss, Randle El, and Campbell, all need to stay. And of course, guys like Jansen, Samuels, and Thomas as well.

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

Good move...I think Buges is the heart of the current playoff team on offense...

I don't expect to see the new HC/OC blowing up the Offensive side of the ball. We DO need some change on the O line, we need help.

You mentioned some great players most all I consider core guys, but I could see One MAYBE Two of those names getting traded.

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

THANK GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

praise him praise him lol there may be some hope yet...lets see how the new HC likes Bugel's style.....Shove it down your throat ride the line football you gotta love it..

Edit: oh shit....could he be a head coach candidate!?

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

Between having GW as head coach (which I wanted) and keeping Bugel as the o-line coach, I'd take Bugel in a heart beat. He's a miracle worker with the o-line - and he proved it again this year. I know things were rough for the o-line with all of our injuries, but looking back at it, I think it's actually pretty amazing that our QBs and RBs didn't simply get steamrollered down after down...

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

OKKKKKK...I love Joe Bugel but come on. Snyder might as well just coach the team. He's hiring all of the coaches. Snyder needs to let his new head coach do the hiring.

This is really laughable right now. Not that i care about misinformed opinions about our team but most media folks are laughing at this "process" and unfortunately i agree w/ them.

To be honest, I'll be the new coach is basically doing the hiring. I think Snyder knows he's going to hire Fassel and he's asked him who he'd feel comfortable with as his assistant coaches.

If he's 100% sure and JF is doing the hiring why don't we actually HIRE him?

Why are we interviewing others?

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

I think its a combination...they are trying to put guys in place that a number of coaches would agree with...Mooch included

The new coach IS doing the hiring, but it is not Fassel, it's Mooch! Fassel would be hired already if it was Fassel. Snyder is interviewing Mooch Wednesday and he will be the coach. I just FEEL IT!

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

if they're gonna drag out the HC search so long, then at least we are locking up our best assistants and seeking others before they all get snatched up.

keep in mind, we are now the only team without a head coach. good assistants don't stay on the couch for long. we look likely to lose byner. and you can bet, if we let buges get away, he'd have a new job in a matter of days. if not hours.

i say, snyder, so far so good!

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

We all love Buges...

Someone said they hoped his style matches the new coach.
I doubt Buges' shove it down your throat matches Mooch...
This signing leans towards Fassel more if you read into it that much.

Overall, Buges is one of the best Oline coaches of all time....I really dont think ANY candidate would have a problem with him.

This is a really good point.

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

I'm really happy with Snyder for keeping some core coaches around. A true leader at head coach will know how to work well with the coaches he has been surrounded with. Yes.....I know it’s a little unconventional, but hey lets see it take its course before we get too worked up. I would prefer thoroughness from our owner rather then the fire at the hip - big name signing, that we have become accustomed too. It is imperative that our new HC delegates and allows some of these high quality assistants the opportunity to work their magic. Let’s be honest and remember that this was Gibb’s strong suite and the reason he was so successful, as he was surrounded by great Peeps, and knew how to motivate them to be their best.

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

I'm glad that Buges will be back. I just hope whoever we hire as a HC is very accepting of a staff he had no input in assembling.

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

They should just name Byner HC and lets get moving!

GOOD. If Snyder were smart he'd just let Buges be the HC for a few years until he decides to retire. That would be the best move.

I may have missed it somewhere but has there been any word on Special Teams coach Danny Smith?

Last I heard Danny Smith was looking forward to working again with Zorn. He's not going anywhere.

Bugel had great success with the Hogs, but he didn't fare well as a head coach. He had one terrible season with Oakland, and struggled with the Cardinals too.

He came out of retirement to coach for Joe Gibbs, so it's surprising that he's sticking around.

Offensive line coach? Yes!

Head coach?...?

Re: Joe Bugel will return next season.
 

This is very good news due to Stephon Heyer and the possibility of us drafting a young offensive lineman early in the draft. We also may groom Alexander on the offensive line.
