Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread

[CRedskinsRule]

Keim seems positive that the team wasn't going to make a final decision before Thursday or Friday anyway so I think this is still within the plan that that Peters and Harris have. I am concerned about filling out the staff but It wouldn't shock me if we poached from the 49ers after the SB specifically.

A lot still up in the air, and the way they are controlling the information flow they will claim they got their first choice candidate whether that is true or not. In the end who ever they hire, the results after 3 years will tell the tale. I just want coches who can teach and scheme with the players they have, not the stubborn "I have system" guys. Hopefully Harris and Peters sees this, or it wont matter who they hire.

As for the Ben Johnson situation, hard to believe they were not in constant contact with his agent and knew this was a possibility, hence the strategic "he is not a lock" message that came out of nowhere, at the beginning of the week. But he made a very late decision which begs the question, why not take interview and just say there an then he is not interested.

I think you're on point about the staff side of things. Keim also said that any coach would have a staff in mind and would have presented that to the hiring group during the interviews. But for example, if Weaver is the guy, he's likely going to be dipping into the same coaching pool that others will be looking into, such as MacDonald and even John Harbaugh as he looks to replace the departures on his own staff.
