Re: If Not Joe, Then Who?

A new coach will bring in his own players over time anyway, so you can't make a coaching decision based on your current roster.

Re: If Not Joe, Then Who?

cowher is not the answer. He won his superbowl, now he wants to be with his family. We need a young innovative hungry coach....who really has the time to invest into this team, and the drive to take us to the superbowl. Paying a coach who doesnt wanna come back billions of dollars is not gonna "make him wanna come back" it's just gonna make him want the money.

Who says that Cowher doesn't want to come back though?

I think he's just enjoying his time off right now and he can afford to sit back and wait for the perfect opportunity to come along. I'm sure he probably has a few jobs in mind. He still has plenty of quality coaching years left in him. I don't see him taking a long break.

We should stick with Grilliams if gibb's leaves, but keep him on a short leash, kindof an interim coach....he he has immediate success stick with him.

Re: If Not Joe, Then Who?

I voted for Grimm, and I disagree with comments about innovation, he is only a coordinator in Arizona, not the head coach. I don't recall Arizona being overly conservative with WRs such as Anquan Boldin (spelling) and Larry Fitzgerald. I think Grimm would bring the toughness you would expect of a Redskins team, and new ideas due to his time spent in Pittsburgh and Arizona. I don't like the idea of a retread coach. I think Wade Phillips is an exception just because of the vast amount of talent stashed on that team by the Tuna, just wait until Jerry Jones gets back into the thick of things in terms of draft picks and FAs. I suspect Romo was a Parcells pick, not a J. Jones pick.

The current staff has not done much at all. GW did nothing in his first tenure as a Head Coach. My first choice would be Grimm... he is a Redskin who has a great coaching line. If we don't go with Grimm, then you have to go with a proven winner year in and year out... that means Cowher.

You can say that about plenty of guys, most notably Bill Belichick.

Hell, if Norv gets chance after chance I don't see why GW shouldn't get a 2nd shot.

Actually, I will disagree with you on Belichick.... He actually had the Browns in the play offs the year before.... but after I believe like 5 games, Modell announced the move... and everything fell apart.

Belichick also had alot of success before and AFTER as a coordinator... GW is hot and cold with us.

I'm sure that Belichick has his ups and downs as a coordinator too.

GW can only be as good as his players. Other than last year he's had much more success than failure.

Yes, Belichick has had ups and downs.... mostly ups... every success Parcells had, BB was by his side. Parcells NEVER won a play off game without BB on his staff.

GW has occasional success... with ALOT of downs. I believe the current staff should get 1 more year. If it doesn't get going by then... then it is time for something new. I think an up and comer like Grimm, or a proven winner like Cowher would do well.... Of course, I wouldn't mind seeing Marty come back either.

Re: If Not Joe, Then Who?

I've never understood why some people are so on Grimm's nuts. Is it just because he's a beloved former player??

That and his apprenticeship as a player under a HOF in Gibbs and as a coach under a potential HOF in Cowher

Partly - YES... but he also has had the right experience as a coach... he is due to be a head coach... why not with us.

I think Gregg Williams could really pull this team together. He's got the defense ready to go all year and now he knows a little bit about how to motivate guys and get their heads in the game.

I would take Marty back, but I really doubt that Snyder would.
