Our next coach??

[The Goat]

Didn't Cowher once remark if he coached again it would be in Carolina...who btw is primed for a new coach after this season? Not totally sure when/where I read this but it totally is stuck in my mind.

...anyway I think it's absurd to daydream about great coaches coming to Redskins park if Snyder keeps Cerrato on the payroll anywhere and maintains the same incompetent FO. I mean Shanahan is the possible exception cuz that dude loves his money and might take the huge blemish to his resume (working in Snyder's circus) for a gigantic payday.

If he is motivated by money, it would have to be a truly gigantic payday for him to take a "blemish," given that he can take $7 mil. from Denver to do nothing all year.

NFL - Adam Schefter: Why Bill Cowher might be coaching the Carolina Panthers in 2010 - ESPN

Those that know former Pittsburgh coach Bill Cowher say he now is gearing up to return to the NFL next season. Cowher is mentally preparing himself to return to coaching and contemplating how he would structure his organization, according to those that know him. With a return on the horizon, many around the league believe the most logical landing spot, by far, is the Carolina Panthers, where speculation is mounting that Panthers coach John Fox is on the endangered list. Of course, Fox has been there before and always has done what he could to keep his job. But this time, the Panthers have a newly hired president, Danny Morrison, who has no ties or connections to anyone in the organization other than Jerry Richardson. A source connected to the Panthers source said he expects the team to pursue Cowher, who lives in North Carolina and has been waiting for the ideal opportunity to return to coaching. Plus, consider these notable coincidences: Cowher has a daughter who is a freshman at Wofford College in Spartanburg, S.C., where the Panthers hold training camp. Morrison also graduated from Wofford, where he later became the director of athletics and the school's senior vice president. Cowher continues to be on Carolina's radar, and the signs as of late only reinforce the notion.

I asked Mooch in a live chat when he was going to come to WAS and he ignored my question

Not that I was surprised but I thought that maybe he'd have something to say about the Skins either way.

[Bigreds77]

If Cowher would of coached anywhere other than Pittsburgh he would of been fired too.

[tryfuhl]

Yeah I think it'd take a lot for Cowher to go elsewhere if he's offered the Panthers job.

Amen to the comment that as long as VC is here, no respectable coach will want to come to the Redskins

[rbanerjee23]

This is an empty gesture as it will not affect anything, but if Vinny is not fired after this season, I'm going to start supporting another teams....with the exception of NFC East teams

[tootergray34]

Jim Zorn is going to stay as our coach..holmgren as GM!

[SBXVII]

If anyone deserves to stay it's Sherm Lewis. He has single handedly turned our offense somewhat around and has them unpredictable. Everytime Zorn gets his hands on the team they fail.....ie; 2 min. drills.

[GTripp0012]

Sherm Lewis probably saved Devin Thomas' career. If nothing else, Vinny owes him a gift basket, and a month's worth of gas cards for that.

[SmootSmack]

Mariucci-HC; Lewis-OC?

DT has been very effusive in his praise of Lewis...now if we can just get Kelly going

Next Redskins coach will be... | Truth & Rumors | FanNation

If it happens this way then:

1) We KNOW Lil D has learned absolutely nothing over ten years of ownership. I mean i've said a million times already Shanahan is probably the only big name coach who'd work for Lil D because 1) the rest don't want the "Snyder" blemish on their resume and 2) Shanahan has always been about the money.

2) The team will remain mediocre at best and downright awful most of the time. Vinny's continued presence simply verifies the tiny man in the owner's box can't put his ego aside and bring in a legitimate professional. I tend to think this will be the pivotal "off-season" in Snyder's ownership i.e. staying the course now probably means his ownership will be a failure throughout. When you look at Steinbrenner's history he seemed to learn after a decade or so he wasn't the smarter person in baseball, or within the organization, or in the room even. Snyder's reputation, if he has one yet, is his unyielding belief in the superiority of himself and his own intelligence.

3) And finally there's the lame reality for those of us who enjoy consistent, quality football that we'll be forced to "follow" another team alongside the circus that is Redskins Park. Actually not so bad. The older I get I appreciate character and excellence more and more in people and it's cool to follow those types through their careers...and especially so in the NFL cuz, well, football will always be the greatest sport.

[Gwilljest]

I agree with keeping Sherm on.. possibly in a "larger role" ...or more like a "larger title"? Off Coord. perhaps... and I have a gut feeling that they are going to bring in Chucky.

If nothing else, Snyde is going to try to keep his revenue-machine rolling. He knows that cannot continue with Cerrato. The best thing he could do is back-off and bring in someone strong as G.M.. How many decades will it take for him to realize that our beloved Skins are not his fantasy team?
