So Haslett was the DC last year. He is still under contract. There has been no rumors or talk about letting him go. Seems to me there is no reason to "announce" a DC. We already have one.

I do love how the coaching staff is shaping up so far. Thought Morris was looking to depart, is there any truth to that?

I think they'll probably hold onto Morris as DB coach. I'm not sure if anyone cleared up whether or not Haslett was FOR SURE going to be the defensive coordinator again.

It was a few days ago, but they were talking about how Haslett would be bumped up to assistant head coach and Morris would take over as DC. But I think those rumors have been put to bed.

I remember when Kirk was here before hearing a lot of good things about him, that he was an up and coming coach and such. He's coached almost every defensive position. Very good addition.

Having Kirk O back is a big deal. He will get the 3-4 looking respectable.

Kirk O is a fine hire. I'm looking forward to see what he can do help improve the D.

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins

WR coach is the position I am most interested in because Jay will need production from the WR's in order to succeed.

Possible Targets

Ike Hilliard- Worked with Jay and Hass before in the UFL. Former Redskins coach as well.

Richard Mann- coached the WR on Jon Gruden's Superbowl Bucc's team current WR coach in Pittsburgh

Mike Miller- Coached as the Cardinals WR coach in 2007-2008 had three 1000+ yard receivers in that year. He is now an Offensive Coordinator in Canadian football league.

Erik Campbell- WR coach who gained fame at Michigan, Campbell coached wide receivers and punt returners. He was also the team's assistant head coach from 2003 to 2007. He set an NCAA record by coaching a 1,000-yard receiver for eight consecutive years from 1998 to 2005.

Well with McVay getting bumped up to OC, we have a TE coach space to fill.

Nobody can say that our coaching candidates don't have good bloodlines.

We're building a Son-of-a-Son-of-a-Coach Coaching Staff.

it wasn't about the bloodline with Kyle . . . it was the fact that daddy was the head coach at the same time . . .

His dad wants a job and isn't getting interest. Why? He seems like he would be a good fit here.

I would love to have WP with us. He is limited as a HC but excellent as a coordinator. But it appears that will not happen.

Yeah I don't understand this. He is tremendous at implementing a 3-4. When Houston picked him up they transitioned into a dominant 3-4 D extremely quickly. JJ Watt sure had a lot to do with that, but still.

I still maintain that Haslett is a good defensive coordinator if you give him some talent to work with. But Phillips is on another level.

I hate when relationships get in the way of making the best decision.
