I am mixed on the hire, but I am happy with the tone of the team concept. Everyone working together, harmony, balance, and so on.

As long as we fix the d and RG III we will win. That is the only thing that will fix this mess.
Uh, what about fixing Special Teams? Last season, we had the worst ST that I can ever remember by any team on any level. That hurt us in every single game we played.

Waiting for the pansy bashing for suggesting a coach can motivate without being dishonerable

They're grown men, not a middle school team. It's not like the guy is Rutger's Mike Rice. If this is his style, so be it, just get out there and execute.

I was a big fan of Bobby Knight. Sure choking kids and throwing chairs isn't conventional, but you can't deny his passion and he knows how to motivate a team to play for him, even if it's out of fear.

I'd take a coach who throws Gatorade jugs at the refs when they hand Dallas and the Giants points with horrible calls. Someone needs to care about winning around here.


Hey, lets bring back Gregg Williams as DC.

They're grown men. You think the Cowher's, Tomlin's, Belichick's, and Harbough's etc don't drop a f bomb when they're upset with the execution of a practice.

(Continuing the song)
Can't get Dalton to learn,
INTs aren't good will,
Someday we might win,
but with there two pro'lly never will.

Jay Gruden's team won,
on the strength of their D.
Why we take Gruden and Haslett,
seems wrong based on their history.

Just two average C's,
never did that much good.
Why didn't we get a Seahawks coach
or Whisenhunt, I think we should.

YeeeeeHaaaaaaaW!


(Here's hoping the Skins prove me wrong.)

What do you get out of being so negative?

I think I'm being realistic. Jon Gruden and Haslett's recent history isn't that good.

Negative would be suggesting getting Gruden and keeping Haslett is the best we could do, because nobody really good will work for Snyder. Like it's the Zorn situation all over again, we only made him HC after everybody really good turned us down.
