But Spagnuolo -- he's the flavor of the week. Just like Norv without Aikman, Emmitt and Irvin, Spags will be nothing without Strahan, Umenyiora, and Tuck.

Why would you assume Spags will be nothing without Strahan, Umenyiora or Tuck, that makes no sense?

I disagree totally, the guy has a solid resume and now a nice ring to go with it, going all the way back to even starting his career here in DC in 1983 (or maybe this was his second job). First of all he's not being interviewed for DC, of course as HC with his one year at DC and GREAT success his finger print would be all over the D IMO. But I don't see ANY reason why he can't succeed at the HC level for the SKINS.

It's the "in thing" to do when one likes to gloom and doom all day long. Of course, if we hire Spagnuolo, then the DS bashers will call him Norv turner 2.0. But, if he found another head coaching job and became the next winning dynasty head coach, then the DS bashers will bash him for not picking Spags to be our head coach. I personally like the idea of hiring him, because I think he's going to be in a perfect position to be successful. He would be inheriting a playoff team who has most of their coaches coming back. The big question mark will be the offense, but everybody seems to believe Zorn is the next offensive mastermind. I see no reason why we shouldn't give him a chance.

Ah yes. How dare anyone criticize an owner whose team has collected a 50-62 record on his watch.

I happen to be against the hiring of Spagnuolo. I'd prefer someone with more experiece, like Fassel or Mariucci. I find it difficult to believe that Spagnuolo will be able to duplicate his success without the great pass rush he had in NY. Without that front four, he'd be no better than the defensive coaches we already have in place.

I agree, but maybe, Spags will be the voice we've long been waiting for to finally bolster our D-line through the draft and free agency. He knows a strong pass rush is key to having a dominant defense, and we've all been complaining for years that we need to improve our pass rush. Maybe, under Spags, that would finally happen. Or we could just draft another guy for the secondary in the first round.

Now that's the best argument yet for Spags. Great point.

We already had a guy with a "solid resume" running the defense.

If you had to part ways with Williams, then I'm fine with Blache taking over. But is Spagnuolo so eager to accept a head coaching position that he will cede his right to hire the coaching staff he wants and have no say in who his D-coordinator will be? I guess we'll see.
