Week 15: Redskins vs Cowboys Gameday thread

[Jontrem]

My 100th post (obviously not significant for anyone but me!) was trying to console a giants fan. Another reason to hate the Gmen.

Frustrating stat of the day: Skins have scored at least 24 points five times this year...and are 0-5 in those games.

2009: 4 times, 2-2 record; 2008: 5 times, 4-1 record

Okay, pretty nice resume. But the fact that he was a Redskin under Joe Gibbs during the glory years has nothing to do with wanting him to coach here?

I'm just sick of hearing the name of every former Redskin who happens to be coaching somewhere as a candidate to come here, -- as if coming back would somehow re-create the magic of the 1980's in Washington. It's like writing checks on a bank account that has long since closed.

No that has nothing to do with it, he has been mentioned as a darkhorse candidate as a HC. His resume speaks for itself.

He has been, but would you have thought of him if not for his Skins past?

Yes and no. The fact that he has gained his coaching experience under Parcells and Sparano and is a solid coach is what's appealing. I guess the same could be said about McCardell whom I don't recall having any previous experience and is doing a decent job.

I don't really care for Haslett but can he be fired one season after transitioning to the 3-4 defense when they obviously don't have the personnel to pull it off? I mean he doesn't have a good track record anyway and I wouldn't mind seeing him go but would that even be fair? I think we should have stuck with the 4-3 until you have the draft picks to get the talent you need to pull off a new defensive scheme. What do I know though right? It's not like our defense was bottom of the league this year. Oh, wait....
