You don't remember Warner being broken down and battered when he got to NY?

Well you definitely don't have to worry about that with Martz, he's got no use for fullbacks or tight ends.

....I did'nt think he played to bad for us yet he did get hurt and in comes Eli but he did pretty well with the Cards after that .......he had a pretty good career as a QB and played for what 15 years? (not sure /asking)

Here are some coaches that are available, maybe Shanahan might just take a look at.

Ron Zook- IDK and DC

Spaggs- Good D, should have done better with Rams IMO.

Jo Pa- Cant Remember if he was a D or O guy, maybe use him as a kicking coach for Gano

Washington University’s entire defensive coaching staff

Turner Gill- I wouldn’t mind seeing Rex run the option

Mike Martz- Would make a great Arena League OC.

Mike Sherman- Didn’t he used to be a good coach in the NFL, Packers maybe?

Jack Del Rio- Danny Smith replacement maybe?? Yeah come on.


BTW- Kurt Warner was the QB and Curt Warner was the old Seahawk running back. I think.

If we're going to replace any coaches, I'd look first at Bob Slowik and Steve Jackson. I know you can only do so much with the the talent in front of you, but our secondary was terrible all year.

This move is absolutely imperative for Shanny and FO to make, I believe. We cannot compete in shoot-out game with our offense, we need to slow down opponents' passing game, in order for us to stay competitive in games.

So what's the latest on Bill Cowher? Haven't heard his name in a while.

Another guy who I think should get a look as a HC is Mike Zimmer. I saw they were mentioning him on SC earlier this morning. He's a damn good coach and a hell of a man. His players would lay in traffic for him, too. I know all the talk is about Dalton/AJ Green, but that team isn't in the playoffs without Zimmer's D.

I listen to SiriusXM NFL radio all the time and the guys who host are close with Cowher. They say he said he is not coming back to coach this year. End of story.

I heard the same thing.

The Dolphins reached out to him, apparently with a pretty sick offer. And yeah, he said no dice. Same for Gruden

Feel bad about omitting Zimmer in my list of head coaching candidates in another thread. He's well cut out for that kind of promotion, something that not many defensive guys are. He's kind of like Mike Smith or Lovie Smith: has the mind to be an asset head coach.

My thing with defensive head coaches is that they tend to be too hands off with the offense. It's not like you want them calling plays for you on offense, but it's impossible to manage the game really well without being involved in the offensive game plan and the execution of it.

I don't know why when I think of Jack Del Rio I think of him as a LB coach not a ST's coach.

The Colts fired their ST's coach.

You guys have probably heard Redskins met with Raheem Morris. Don't know anymore than that right now. He is a former DB coach and both Slowik and Jackson are on the hot seat.

I'd bring him in as a db coach. As has been said, Slowik and Jackson need to go.

Head coach needs to pick his coaching staff - I think the redskins have a habit of picking a "dream team" of coaches; ones that may not necessarily be on the same page.
