Coaching Rumor on SportsTalk 980

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

I will NEVER jump off the Redskins bandwagon, but, if true, I don't like the move. So pretty much the entire coaching staff wants GW, the players wants GW, the owner preaches about the importance of continuity, and yet we hire a new guy who will likely fire many of the coaches and want to make significant changes to the roster? I can't quite follow that logic.

The only way this move will make sense is if Williams and Saunders remain on the staff as the defensive and offensive coordinators, respectively.

Even if they remain, you would just have to think the environment would be a bit stifling under those circumstances. Two of you interviewed for the same job, and the new guy get's it? Naw, that 'aint gonna fly.

I feel almost exactly the same way.
My only difference is that while I'd like to keep Saunders, if he does leave and we bring in a new OC who has a better system for Campbell I'd be happy too.

I want what seems best for this team and Fassel, who could be a decent coach again, does not seem like the best coach out there.

According to JLC it looks like Saunders is "in hot water" as well. Seattle's QB coach is interviewing for the OC job.
