Man. You are delusional lol

Its my opinion he's less than 50% to ever be an elite QB. I think we could get 2 firsts for him if we traded him now (by blaming his lackluster performance on coaching and the injury). I don't think well ever get that much for him again. I say we cut our losses and trade him. Give the new head coach a full compliment of draft picks and the ability to pick his own QB.

So u think we should keep cousins and let Griff go? Now what has KC done that is so great for me to agree with u on this? RG3 has at least made the team relevant again for the first time in 20 yrs.

Yeah but if its true that gruden wants to go back there I believe he can get it turned around fast

Number one, we do not NEED an established NFL head coach. We have a new quarterback that runs a unique style, so find a coach who will cater to that style and make it work with the core players on offense we currently have, and will sign this offseason. (RG3, Williams, Garcon, Reed, Morris, Hankerson are really the only ones who I believe are shoe ins for next season. Its more than half, and I'm sure we will keep at least one of our guards, so 7/11 is a good core). Revamp the defense as much as you can with the draft and free agency, but TRY to keep them relatively young. Keep both your ends, they make or break the secondary and are a top 5 pair in the NFL. Find high motor smart guys for special teams.

These are all things that are doable in one offseason. I believe there will be plenty of high quality coaches that will be jockeying for the job this offseason. Why? Main reasons below.

- Finally have plenty of young talent
- Have a very capable backup QB, or an additional 2nd round pick, whichever way you play it, it is a plus for the team
- The HC will get paid more than market value, you can count on that
- Have shown that they can win
- Have the RotY franchise QB to develop and win with
- Have a true number one receiver
- Have a top 5 Left Tackle, as well as a top 5 rusher in Morris
- Have a top 5 pair of defensive ends
- Would be coaching in the NFC East, not the best division in football right now
- Have an owner that will spend whatever is necessary to win games and actually cares about the team, not just the teams financials
- And the biggest reason, Snyder has shown he can give football people, not yes men, the keys to the ferrari that is the Redskins franchise.


Of course there will be criticism, but any good young coach that gets offered this job would be stupid to pass it up

Yes. To the nth power, yes, I agree.

We need to go young and hungry. A relative unknown. Screw the retreads, guys with Superbowl wins/appearances or Conference Championship appearances, and what have you, from a decade or more ago.

We need someone who wants to prove what he can do, if given the same control Snyder gave to Shanahan. The only established big name I'm interested in coming here is Lovie Smith. The rest of the big names being bandied about around here and in the media can go fornicate themselves. The retreads haven't worked (and yes, I'm including Gibbs 2.0 in that, God love him).

Darrell Bevell, Kevin Sumlin, Jay Gruden and Greg Roman would be excellent choices.

[MTK]

Marty at one time also said he could never work for Snyder.

[mitch e]

at this point I dont care who the new HC is as long as he brings a good staff and demands a new surfice for the field! It looked like crap!!

[KI Skins Fan]

I'm so far behind on this thread I'll never catch up. I'll just assume that every reasonably qualified coach I've ever heard of has been discussed.

As bad as we've been this season, I stiil think we're not that far from winning our weak division next season if RGIII comes back healthy and we make the right moves in FA and the draft. For one thing, we're probably going to get back 8-10 pretty good players from IR alone.

I think that the last thing we we need right now is to start all over but that doesn't necessarily mean keeping Mike Shanahan. I'm wondering if an experienced, steady NFL hand (not necessarily a big-name) can make some necessary changes but nothing revolutionarly, hire top quality assistants, and get us right back in the playoff picture.

I'd look for someone more on the Lovie Smith end of the scale than the Jon Gruden end of the scale. Dramatic improvement without the other kind of drama.

[OmahaRedskins]

While Shanny hasn’t been successful in Washington, he has made the job easier for the next coach. Shanny brought in Bruce Allen to manage Danny, and Bruce has been successful at keeping Dan in the back ground. While I believe they need to bring in a new GM to help with player evaluation, the next coach shouldn’t have to deal with the owner meddling in the day to day activities.

[OmahaRedskins]

You are correct, for some reason I though he won 2.

[punch it in]

Bevell, Roman, or Jay Gruden......ill take any of them and be happy.

Would be a shame if Bill Obrien went to Houston before we even got an interview

No it wouldn't. Gives us a higher likelihood to grab Lovie then, assuming Garrett keeps his job another year. I think he will.
