I highly doubt Crennel wants to come here.

So, there goes that. There also goes interviewing Vrabel. So, now, the question is, are the 'skins still hellbent on interviewing up to 8 candidates, or can they say at this point, they've interviewed enough? They've interviewed five. How many teams around the league still don't have a DC yet? There's the 49ers, Chargers, Redskins, and I think the Dolphins. Who else? That's four teams. There's, technically, five candidates that we know of.

Good point. It may be time for the Redskins to go with Plan B.

Or, could they be waiting to interview a coach whose team is still in the playoffs?

Just heard we are interviewing Dennis Thurman for D.C. Job,he has been a db coach most of his coaching career maybe we bring him on as the db coach and hire Bradley or pettine as the D.C. Since they both worked in Baltimore together..

Satisfies the Rooney rule.

Another solid candidate imo, has coordinated some decent defenses in both New York and Buffalo, and was with Baltimore for several years as an assistant before that. But one thing to note when you look at his rankings, all four years as a coordinator were under Rex Ryan

Agreed, I would be fine with this hire

Does he have any connections with the other DC candidates? Rob Ryan for instance?

[CRedskinsRule]

Can we please get a DC who has coached defenses that were NOT at the bottom of the league rankings. It's not a complicated thought.

[metalskins]

Dennis Thurman would make the sixth candidate (and satisfy the Rooney Rule). I don't really know of any coach on the defensive side of the ball for the Packers I would want here as our DC, I don't think the Falcons are going to want to lose anymore coordinators or coaches (with Shanahan set to leave for the San Fran job), maybe there's someone one the Pittsburgh or New England coaching staff that is ready to make the next step up to defensive coordinator? Other than that, I don't really see a need to wait until the playoffs are over to interview anybody from those teams.

I think the 'skins just need to go ahead and pull the trigger on Pettine or Bradley.

As far as OC and Callahan:

best quote:

“Bill has never been happier in his life,” said Bob LaMonte, Callahan’s agent. What Callahan is doing now is coaching the Redskins’ offensive line and helping in the running game planning. He is well known for keeping the linemen out well after practice ends, schooling them on various techniques and details of their craft.

I like this tidbit. Thanks for sharing.

Also here's a good wrap-up on our list of candidates and it makes a solid argument against Dennis Thurman. I'd rather have Pettine over Thurman.

That's a very good summary. I still like Bradley or Pettine. I trust that Scot will bring in plenty of talent this year to help any DC succeed.
