I think this goes without saying based on my previous posts, but I'm with you 100%.

Im jumping on the Danny Smith bandwagon. On his show, Cooley said that Smith was one of the best leaders he's ever known and every single player on the team would run through a wall for the guy. He also said that every player, even those who didnt do special teams, felt open going to Smith about anything. Cooley said he was the only coach on the team he truly trusted. I seem to remember watching games, and Smith was always in Shanahans ear, helping him decide when to go for it, when to punt, when to take a time out, etc.

I think if we want a leader, we should hire Smith and pair him with an up and comming OC and DC.

I will say that I remember when Gibbs was going to call the 2nd time out in a row that Smith ran over and tried to stop him, do y'all remember that?

i firmly believe gibbs did that to protect our kicker from feeling bad if he missed the kick and the team didnt win for ST bc of that against the bills. before the penalty it was a 50-50 chance for our kicker (suisham, cundiff or novak?). sloppy field?

i firmly believe gibbs made the decision to put people (or person) in front of a game.

no need to lambast me, call me silly or stupid or ask for proof.

just my firm belief. i think gibbs is that much a spiritual and paternal person that he tried to protect the kicker from a lifetime of guilt. right or wrong

Gibbs is a great guy, but I think the most basic explanation, that he lost track of the situation, makes the most sense.

Gregg Williams was let go because Vinny was afraid of Gregg trying to get rid of him as Head coach. Gregg wanted Gibbs type of control.

Just curious, merely as a coach (forgetting that he was a Hog) why is Russ Grimm at the top of your list?

Russ is at the top of my list because our biggest issue has been the offensive line and leadership. Not fixing RG3. I know that Russ will fix both of those issues. Surround Russ with a strong offensive coordinator focused on play calling and a defensive coordinator, we will do well.

I want coaches that develop talent, not coaches that think their scheme is end all, be all. Everywhere Russ has gone the Running game has done well and so has the offensive line. When I say this, I mean at a Superbowl level. I think smart head coaches have wised up in the NFL and hide their best coaches in positional roles. That is why I would target a Coaches like Ken Norton Jr., Kirby Smart, or Pepper Johnson. All have been with their head coaches for long tenures and know how to implement their respective defenses. They also can develop talent. They raise the level of their players.

Same thing with the OC, look at Hue Jackson or Terry Robiskie, both coaches make players better. Matter of fact both have done it here in Washington before.

I'd really like to see Hue Jackson back here in some capacity.

Sean McDermott with Hue Jackson as his offensive coordinator? The more I think about it, the more I really like McDermott over everybody else. BUT, I DO want to know who his offensive coordinator would be.

Danny Smith? Lol. Come on guys.

One bad idea after another with some folks.

I'd welcome him back to run special teams, but HC is a serious stretch.

People (like myself) couldn't wait for him to get canned as special teams coach, now people want him back as a head coach.

Off-season is going to be just as dysfunctional as the regular season was so it seems.

Good thing the fans don't choose the coaches. Everyone has their own ideas and most of them stink.

Case in point
Who should be the next coach of the Redskins?

This thread is filled with more stupid comments then I can remember in any other Warpath thread. And this time not all of them are mine!

This thread is so fueled by emotion that I think some of us may be losing our minds over the search for a new HC.

Note: This is not addressed at any particular poster, so don't any of you crazy MF's dress up like your mother and try to stab me while I'm in the shower.

What??!!??

Folks the cap penalty probably saved us from ourselves. It was a blessing in diguise and the official blame in my eyes is Vinny/Danny, they were stupid enough to give that pos all that cash.
