Pick Your Next Redskins Head Coach

More interview requests so time for a new thread

Had to go with Franklin, I really like him. There's a reason many major college programs pursued him.

Your link to httr24-7 cincy offense breakdown sold me last night SS. Jay Gruden ftw.

4 teams have asked to inteview Gruden per JLC. Skins, Vikings, Lions, Titans. So much for him drawing no interest.

Who do we think is our biggest competition for Gruden?

Lions maybe?

I'm just guessing.

The Titans are at the top of his list. I don't know if he's at the top of theirs

I'm pretty sure, from all I've heard, that Jay Gruden would want a 4-3 defense

I like it and agree with Bruce, i want a little more emotion and someone to get in some faces around the locker room. Some of this shoulder shrug horsesh*t from the players and coaches this season was unacceptable. Gruden to me seems ready to be a HC.

Why did you say (elsewhere) that you were concerned about the staff he would assemble?

I haven't seen Pat Shurmur listed before as one of our candidates but this article says that he is:

Maybe curious is a better word than concerned

Of the guys listed I would rank:

1) Zimmer
2) Franklin
3) Gruden

While working with RGIII is a lot different than working with Andy Dalton, three consecutive play-offs where the offense ****s the bed against competition that isn't unbeatable for Jay Gruden scares me a little bit. Personally I would much prefer a defensively oriented head coach, our D has been too bad not to try that at this juncture. Franklin certainly interests me as well.

[Skinsfanatic]

Bevell. We can find a good DC (I say Greg Williams for 4-3, Wade Phillips if we stay 3-4). We will be defined by our offense (RG3 is the face of this franchise). Bevell runs the type of offense we need to run. Run heavy with a dynamic quarterback.

And, if you are one of those people who believes RG3 is a headcase, you should want him even more. He (as OC of the Vikings) was behind Brett Favre's best year even while Brett was a sideshow attraction.

I said Gruden because:

1) I read a report that said that Bevell may have a coordinator's personality but not a HC's personality.

2) Zimmer is described as really blunt and honest. While I admire those qualities in people, his constellation of those traits may limit his important diplomatic moments as a HC

3) Franklin is tempting but may be too young, too unproven. He may need more seasoning before being an NFL HC.

4) The other folks don't excite me much.

My 2 cents.
