Choose Your 2014 Redskins Head Coach (Volume 2)

[skinsfan69]

Yeah I really don't care about the coaching tree stuff. We need some coaches in here that are teachers first, can make in game/halftime adjustments. A few names that might make sense... Hue Jackson, Mike Zimmer, Ken Wisenhunt, Todd Boles....

We could do worse than Lovie. But I think we can also do better.

IMO Lovie is less of a risk. We can't afford to take big risks at this point. Lovies an excellent proven head coach who commands respect. Pair him with an offensive coordinator who can get rg3 to accept coaching and become a better player, and we have a recipe for success

We can't go much lower than this, why not take a risk?

Shanahan was supposed to be a safe pick.

I'm really not locked in on any one guy. I'm more interested in seeing what we do at GM first.

There is no safe pick when it comes to selecting a Head Coach.

A coach with a "proven" track record is just as risky as a coordinator, a college coach or any other type of coach.

All the talk about what Shanny inherited, he has left a heaping pile of shit for the next coach. What an effing bum

Well in all fairness who else is going to make the decision on who our knew hc is?

Not trying to bust anyone's balls on HC preferences, but unless something big happens I don't think there's a more qualified candidate available than Lovie. Guys like Briles, even Obrien are def risky, but it's unclear if there's potential high reward to justify the risk. For one thing, both those guys will need huge help creating an nfl caliber staff. Not saying they can't do it eventually, but it's unlikely to come together in a single off-season. And they're coming into a situation where character and leadership have to be absolutely solid. This team hasn't had that in its coaching in four years. You get all those things automatically with Lovie. Character. Leadership. Full staff.

Why are you so confident that Lovie is a safe pick? Hiring a head coach that had won 2 SB's, and had a winning record over a 15 year career as a head coach seems like a pretty safe move to any reasonable person, and yet Mike Shanahan is going to finish his worthless career here with a worse record than Jim Zorn did. 3-13? Fuck this asshole and his shitty ego, his shitty coaching staff, and everything else associated with him.

Haven't you learned by now there are no safe picks in this job? What a ridiculous assumption. I want a head coach that's going to win Super Bowls. Notice the s at the end of that sentence? Lovie had plenty of time to do that in Chicago, and he didn't come close. If the guy that can do that is the "riskiest" move, so be it. I don't want some guy who's going to be 8-8 year after year, just barely doing enough to keep his job.

You know what you also get with Lovie? Bad time out management, penalty and mistake filled football, terrible clock management, a guy who doesn't do offense at all, and really questionable history of challenges (IIRC one of the worst in the league)...

Hmmm so basically he's a Defense version of Mike Shanahan with worse challenge decisions.

Whatever bring him on, the next guy will do his 1.5 year stint while they (maybe if we're lucky) start building a real team up... Or he'll do his 1.5 years while they continue to throw resources into a dumpster fire.

Whole lotta stupid in this thread ... RGIII a uncoachable diva, Lovie Smith the ONLY safe HC'ing choice (He has done exactly what?).
