Choose Your 2014 Redskins Head Coach (Volume 2)

[The Goat]

I don't get the love for Bevelle. Have watched almost every Hawks game this season as my better half is a longtime fan and gotten back on the wagon, and we went to the game Sunday where they battered the Rams. It's Seattle's defense winning games. I still think Wilson is a stud (and Lynch) but there's nothing special about the offensive scheme.

So I guess we could go after Seattle's DC, but why over Lovie or Williams who already has ring as DC? I'm not getting excitement over most of the coordinators actually. Pretty limited track records and nothing that screams leadership qualities you want in an HC.

I'm also in the 'eh' camp on Bevell. His offenses have never jumped off the screen to me. Wilson makes a ton of plays, Lynch makes a ton of plays, other than that I don't see anything special about his scheme or playcalling. Gruden shows a lot more imaginiation and diversity in scheme but I get the strong feeling he doesn't want to come here.

With the McDermott interview, which is interesting, it does raise the thought of HC-McDermott, OC-Chudzinski.

What have you heard about Jay Gruden that gives you that feeling?

I hope that's not the case because I like to see him take an interview with the Skins. He seems to be one of the better HC candidates.

Remind me who's Mcdermit?

Yeah, both these candidates seem fairly pedestrian to me. Are any other teams even talking to them? Are they the only ones who have picked up the phone?

Bevell is a hot name. Connected to multiple jobs. McDermott put together a terrible defense in Philly just a couple of years ago. No to him.

Is there any interest in Gregg Williams from the team?

[mooby]

I know Bevell will be a hot name this year, he was last year too. Only thing I remember about McDermott was him being Jim Johnson's replacement in Philly a couple years ago, and he was shitty enough at it to be replaced after 1 season. Not exactly an inspiring candidate for me, although the Panthers d is decent I suppose.

Danny smith.

More of a small town guy, may not embrace the DC "scene", low profile-low drama. Also if it was such a perfect fit, especially with the Allen ties, it seems like we would have moved quicker to interview him. I could be off but its just a sense.

He is a small town guy, and his preference would not be DC but there are only so many HC jobs and he feels he's ready. So I wouldn't shut the door on him being our HC quite yet. I think he's the odds on favorite personally

Also, he can't be interviewed before next week because the Bengals have a game this weekend

It seems impossible that we would......not have been having under the table conversations with the agents of anyone we are interested in.
Regardless of the NFL rules

How come there hasn't been much discussion of Mike Zimmer? Did I miss something? Of all the coordinators he seems to have the best track record over a good period of time. He has experience in the 3-4 and the 4-3. He has always been loved by his players and seems (imo) to have the "it" that a HC needs? Any thoughts?

Who knows, he could be on the radar. McDermott kinda came out of nowhere so you can never tell. With a game coming up this weekend he can't be interviewed until next week though.
