The Redskins Head Coach job is the best opening available

[MTK]

Like any opening, there are pros and cons here. It's not all doom and gloom. There's talent on the offense, the team will have more than enough cap room to make some impact moves, and it's a high profile gig.

Thank you. Plus no one ever considers that there are personal preferences, and family considerations that will sway a potential coach toward or away from DC. Every potential HC has their own list of best to worst situations

Plus if someone finally manages to make a winner out of this team, he'll be a freaking legend. Sainthood awaits anyone that can win a SB here.

Despite the circus atmosphere surrounding this franchise, I believe Snyder/Allen and others are very aware of how they are perceived and want to attract someone that will come and win. Winning cures dysfunction.

I don't see the Redskins gig anymore worse than the Cleveland gig.

Unfortunately I cant say your wrong about anything

If I had my choice of the openings I would pick the Texans.Great owner,have the first pick in the draft.If they draft the right qb I think they'll be ready to go

Idk, foster is always hurt and AJ is getting old and I wouldn't be shocked if he's gone soon. The d is solid but they have no qb at all.

Probably need to start a thread, but 980 stating Bevell to interview this weekend. Ian OConner I believe too, not sure

I think if a guy comes here its going to be all about the money. No coach in the NFL is going to be paid more than what we will pay for the two years or so that they will be here.

how long is the leash on the next coach? I think that's a good question to ask. Is it one and done if the team tanks?

Lots of people are betting the house on Griffin being new and improved next year. Why?? What could anyone have seen out of him this year that suggested a dramatic comeback next year? Sure i'll accept that his knee is not 100% and probably never will be again, but did he all of sudden turn into a pocket passer? Is the RGME attitude left behind? I think those are all fair questions.

Last question on my mind is how anyone would be beating the door down to work for Mr. Snyder knowing his history with coaches, and the team's well known and publicized dysfunction from the top all the way to the bottom. I think it speaks volumes that in 14 years, we've only won the division twice. Almost on pace for a while with a new coach every year. I just don't see how a respectable coach could believe he had a snowball's chance in hell and being anything other than mediocre.

Look, Im the first one that is hoping and praying RG3 returns to Heisman form. I may be a bit of a homer, but look at it through these lenses.

- Him and Shanny, as well as his OC, did not really get along, and according to multiple sources, were never on the same page

- Got a very serious injury at the end of his first year, and did not have a true offseason

- Came back early on said knee

- Had to work with alot of dropped balls, horrible playcalling and a defense that put the team behind almost immediately every game (ala they knew we would be throwing)

- Didn't have any reps in preseason, first real reps after his surgery was basically in the first week of the season

- Still did not put up horrible numbers. 16 TD's and 12 INT's, while not as good as the previous year, was a very decent product of the things going on in the organization, plus, he didnt play the last three games.


I may be the ultimate homer, but I think anyone writing this kid off as a diva that overachieved for one season, and is now a bust, will have a rude awakening in the next few years. Once his knee is 100%, and he WASN'T 100% this year, he will be back in form.

Why bet on Griffin improving next year? #1 he had a very serious injury, I'm still amazed we even have to say this. #2 never question his drive to succeed.

Too bad he doesn't also have the talent that Griffin does.
