That's interesting. I thought he was a decent DC. Atleast he had a better resume then Haslett.

That's too bad. I would have rather had Nolan as DC than Haslett.

Maybe Snyder could buy Nolan more ice cream.

Wait I thought Shanny was bringing his old oline coach w/ him, no?

We need an intense, genius type as OL coach. I mean best case scenario that guy gets two young studs out of this year's draft, but he's still gonna have to turn some current guys into winners.

Rumors abound, A.Gibbs (OL coach) is apparently miffed at Mike Shanahan for firing his son while in Denver. Rumor is he won't talk to Mike. Gibbs went to Seattle.

Dennison (OL coach) got hired by Houston.

Both of the best OL cut blocking coach's Mike Shanahan used are gone. That's why people are wondering who Shanahan will bring on board? We are kinda concerned. Who else is good at teaching the cut blocking scheme?

Marcus Mason has retired as a player. He will use his expertise in blocking to coach the offensive line.

Oh man, and I was sure that Trung Candidate was going to get the job.

I believe MS and BA hired all the people they could off the bat, then went in, talked with Buges, and watched tape of the OL we currently have. If they ever are able to stop weeping and gnashing their teeth, we will start hearing OL coach names.

Since it has been pointed out that the remaining playoff teams have solid OL's does anyone know if one of their OL coachs might jump ship to the Redskins? Russ Grimm maybe (although I don't know how we make that happen with a new title since he is already assistant head coach/OL)

#1- Grimm under contract so I doubt he leaves the Cards.
#2- Grimm I don't think teaches the zone/cut blocking method.
#3- Grimm is already Asst. HC/OL coach. His only promotion will be to HC.
#4- Can we all stop mentioning Grimm and this team in the same sentence? Unless DS gets a brain fart and completely fires everyone Grimm will not be here. Sorry, I couldn't think of a soft way to let you all down.

On a side note I thought I heard last night at the end of "Redskins Insider" or whatever was on Comcast that Shanahan would be finalizing his coaching roster today, Tues. Jan 19th. I hope it's complete and we pick up a decent OL, and WR coach.

I wasn't really lobbying for Grimm, I was trying to use him to make a point that the current playoff teams may have someone we would want to look at hiring. I agree with points 2 and 3 completely, I think #1 and 4 are inter-related, in that Grimm might have liked to be back with the Skins, and Allen might have liked the historical reference.

I haven't heard many names for OL, so I was trying to think where they might be getting one from, and the 4 remaining playoff teams all looked like solid resources who we might not have had a chance to conduct interviews with yet. If they are naming the rest by today like you thought you heard, than that would probably not be the answer.

I haven't heard of anyone either. The two top picks got picked up so my next question is who else in the Pro ranks teaches zone/cut blocking? If there are none then who at the college level teaches zone/cut blocking? Again if cut blocking is not being taught then we might have to either learn to work around that or we are screwed.

I just wish someone could provide a list of zone/cut blocking OL coaches.

You know who I really feel sorry for? Raider fans. Maybe they look at us the same way but we have a young owner not one who's senile and on a power trip. At what point do the other share holders finally step up and tell him to back off? or if he's the only share holder when does he finally realize he's the problem and put people in place to run the team and back off? Pretty soon if not now no one will be taking the HCing job to have to work with him. Unless you want an instant pay day. Get a 3 yr 12 mill deal and only work for 1 yr. LOL. Sit on the couch and collect the rest.

Then again he may be old a senile but that means that he is closer to being on his way out. Snyder is still young a kicking. We may actually have the short end of the stick. I do give credit to Snyder for what he has done this offseason. One can only hope that he keeps it up.
