Re: Choose Your 2014 Redskins Head Coach (Volume 2)

I (still) don't get the infatuation around these parts with Gregg Williams as some kind of defensive savior. His defenses were inconsistent when he was here. Top 10 one year, lower 20's the next. He obviously didn't impress (some say he moreso offended) the decision makers when he was passed over for the job after Gibbs left. Went to the Saints, built a great defense for one year, average defenses the rest of the time and was let go by Payton. Not to mention the bounty stink he created. Coming out of a drama-fest with Shanahan, I don't want to invite that back into our house.

I'm not dead but this team is dead to me...but now that McCloughan is here they may have new life!

Jay Gruden = Zorny McSpurrier
Kirk Cousins = Next Grossman

Also...funny how when Cousins was asked who he'd like as the next head coach he says.." well that will be up to Mr. Snyder and Robert"....lol.

Heard the same thing.. See Mattyk, I didn't make it up!! :-)

Of course, that's why he was at the Baylor game last night.

That's why they haven't hired anyone yet. They were waiting for him to return from the Baylor game. :-)

He's there to pick up Briles, no interview necessary. He'll just bring him back to DC.

Maybe Robert's the unofficial GM, and thats why they haven't come out and said anything . . . brilliant!

We cannot sign a BIG NAME youd expect us to sign the guy coach. We need to stay under the radar and make the smart move in hiring Darrell Bevell.

All great coaches get theyre start somewhere. Let us be where Bevell starts his.

I actually felt embarrassed for Briles last night. Poor performance on the national stage. Hopefully Danny and Bruce took notice.

They had an off night and still put up 35 points and 500 yards.

One loss won't ruin him, just like Shaw.

Well that was UCF, and Shaw had a team imo that could beat both Florida State and Auburn. Shaw's teams are tough and resilent, which you saw yesterday. Baylor looked unprepared, mistake prone and undisplined. I would never describe a Shaw Stanford team like that for any game in his short tenure. Baylor while exciting and electric, has shown this type of ball before under Briles.

Be careful of the "error of recency".

I'm not totally sold on Briles either but last night didn't convince me either way. They played their worst game of the year...I don't put much into just one game.

That is usually what happens when your defense is absolute crap.

Shameless self-promotion. It is what it is.

That's got to be it... Maybe Robert did the interview himself after the bowl game? It's all coming together now..

I seriously think a Briles hire would be Spurrier 2.0. The absolute only way it would work is if Briles had a defensive cordinator/assistant head coach with extensive experience not named Haslett.

I think Briles would be smart enough to surround himself with a strong staff. He doesn't strike me as a Spurrier type that would take the job for the $$ and think he can hit the golf course by 4pm every day.
