Yes. It's normal. If I recall, the big purge came in year 2 of Shanny's regime. Lots of players who had been around since Gibbs 2.0 and the Zorn years.

Redskins hired ex-Giants DC Perry Fewell as DBs coach.

Fewell was also a candidate for the 49ers' defensive-backs job. Fewell has been coordinating defenses or coaching defensive backs in the NFL since 1998. He's a nice addition to DC Joe Barry's staff, especially since Barry himself was such an underwhelming hire

per rotoworld

nice hire imo. really nice

Yeah, I think this is a solid hire.

It's nice to have 2 DC's on staff that help each other (Barry/Fewell) unlike (Haslett/Morris).

Giants fans will tell you Fewell is trash.

Just like we tell Giants fans Morris is trash. So we now have a recycling program.

Callahan and fewell are strong position coach hires. Looking for that QB coach next...things are looking up so far this offseason. If we can add the front office dude from Green Bay too, wow, I'm pretty happy then.

I agree, I also like both of those hires.

Sounds like Highsmith is staying in GB., they won't grant him permission to interview. Seems like a guy they don't want to lose. It does feel like things are trending up. Very curious to see how the draft plays out.

No Bucs connection to Fewell either for the crony lovers.

Well, no IMMEDIATE Bucs connection.

In 2005, he coached DB's in Chicago under head coach Lovie Smith

From 1996 - 2000, Lovie Smith was LB coach while Rod Marinelli was DL coach under DC Monte Kiffin IN TAMPA!!

Further: Rod Marinelli is John Barry's father-in-law. AND Marinelli was DL
Coach while JON Gruden was Head Coach of (wait for it) .....

TAMPA BAY!!!


Clearly, Fewell was hired b/c of his connections to Gruden and Barry, not b/c he coached a SB winning defense. Rank cronyism at its worst.

Yeah, I wasn't in the meeting rooms or the like, but it did seem that Haz and Morris were not the best of mixes. I have nothing but rumor and speculation to go on but just not sure the two complemented each other well.

According to twitterverse, Haz wanted to fire Raheem but that was a no-go with Bruce. Probably gives credibility to Jsteelze saying that Raheem was calling some of the defense last year.

im so sick of hearing about this bullshit. He said, she said crap. who gives a flying fuck about what was going on, Haz and Raheem and the rest of the defense simply werent getting it done period.

Nobody earned the right to return, fuck'm and lets move on.

Change was obviously needed.
