He has been great for us, but I think Marty would have a better chance of 1. having absolute authority and 2. bringing us to the playoffs.

I doubt Marty is a real option, but I would be excited if he were named HC. And to be fair, I would be just as excited about GW, but I would have more faith in Marty.

Yeah, I'm with you on that. I wasn't a fan of Marty and his offense when he was here, but after seeing what he did in San Diego with the right personnel, his teams can put up the points and get the yardage with the best of them.

Say what you want about his playoff record, at least he puts his teams in position for the playoffs. I really do believe he had this team on the right track.

I've been on the "continuity" bandwagon all along, but I'd be all for Marty's return to the Redskins.

Well if Marty's past record is any indication with him we'd be good enough to consistently make the playoffs but would fall short of the superbowl. I wonder how Saden feels about this rumor?

I been thinking and thinking about who this mystery man might be I think it has to be someone that is not a regular head coach candiate around the league.

Gibbs wasnt when we brought him in (coordinater for san diego?) and that turned out good.

JLC is picking up a bit of a scent that Snyder may be trying to do something big. *Sigh*

But who the heck could we be pursuing who would qualify as a big name? JLC says Cowher's still not interested. Same with Pete Carroll (if he's even a big name). People thought about Vermeil, but Jason Reid touched base with him and it's not true. Then JLC thought about Jimmy Johnson. He's retired, and probably wants to stay retired.

Who else? I can't think of any other big names. John Madden? But that's equally laughable.

Whatever, I think this is all an overblown crock of crap, but figured I'd pass it on.

haha if john madden is coach i am no longer a redskin fan...

I'm wondering if they are also looking at some of these candidates for assistat coaches? I mean, if they hire GW, they are going to need an offensive coordinator. Just a thought.

Luxorreb · 01-19-2008, 03:59 AM

Is it still a possibility that Gibbs will come back? Jeez. We're all lost without him!

Darrell_Green_28 · 01-19-2008, 04:29 AM

it might be GW, just the GW he will hire will be G W Bush.

huntz · 01-19-2008, 07:57 AM

Since he's been interviewed for a 4th time, you'd think Williams is in. But it scares me. Last time the def coord took over for the head coach Gibbs retired first time and they gave the nod to Ritchie Pettibone. RP lasted a year and was out. God forbid same thing happens again.

LOL! One of the funniest posts ever!

I was just thinking it through and I can see the Danny in an interview 4 years down the road.."well I am the only owner to have ever hired a former president."

hey, he's local, but on the other hand he's a texas boy so I doubt any loyalty to the skins. GW Bush would be a good hire if the danny decided to turn the Skins into a WWF outfit.

davy · 01-19-2008, 08:43 AM

I'm amazed they haven't interviewed Offiss yet.

wolfeskins · 01-19-2008, 09:05 AM

maybe the skins want shwartz as their new dc but they have to wait until atlanta picks a new head coach, making sure atlanta doesn't take shwarts.

theJBexperience · 01-19-2008, 09:48 AM

Maybe, Jeff Fisher really was spotted getting on redskins One?

Now that would be one big name I'd really love. He's one of the very best coaches in the NFL, in my opinion. GW would probably stay as coordinator if they hired Fisher.

But I don't see how that's possible. We'd have to trade mad picks to Tennessee to get him, wouldn't we? Plus weren't there rumors about Fisher flat out retiring? He has been in the game a long time.

I still think the "big name" rumor is a crock.

SFREDSKIN · 01-19-2008, 10:36 AM

Ted Tepford out of Cal? Jim Fassell? Dennis Erickson? Dennis Green? Tyronne Willingham? John Robinson? Steve Mariachi?
