He says he wants to coach next, wonder if we can make room for him?

He said that Coach S. offered him an coaching internship with the team so he will be there next year.

That is awesome, we are really lucky to have a guy like him want to be a part of the team.

I think he said Shanahan offered him a chance to work in the offseason and he was offered a minority internship. That would be great to have Chris coaching here.

He can be Okung's personal coach

I was hoping he'd say that, thought that it would've come out before now though so I wasn't holding my breath.

Speaking of.. whatever happened with Thrash? We heard after the cut/retirement he was out there in warmup gear like an assistant, then never heard about him again?

Unless something changed in the past couple of months he's with the organization. I forget the exact title. Director of Player Development I think. Basically he helps young players transition to life as an NFL player. Mainly all the things they have to deal with off the field

Thanks for that; great role for him.

Well he is super-smart, a core guy and a true Redskin.

why not just call it an internship? calling it a "minority internship" makes it seem like he's being offered the job to fill some sort of quota and not beause he's legitimately qualified for the job.

Two possibilities, one legit:

1) that is just the term used to fulfill tax and legal requirements for the spot.

2) he saved enough and became minority owner of the team and now is interning to take over DS's spot

I'm glad Samuels gets to go out at or near the peak of his game. Jansen didn't, Thomas won't, Moss didn't, Portis didn't, Griffin didn't, Marcus Washington didn't. Samuels is getting the opportunity to cement his legacy as one of the better Redskins of all time, without playing to the point where he is hurting the team.

You think Moss is done?
