2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News

SS, its probably been asked before, but I am just wondering if the level of rumor and innuendo that the Redskins garner in the media would be league average in your mind, or are there specific actors(disgruntled media, ownership people, etc) that make the snitch/rumor culture of the Skins even worse.

Another way to say it does DS/BA actively use gossipmongering more than other franchises, or are there media with such a large ax to grind that they will always post negative information at a higher rate than other franchises?

I don't think disgruntled media, ownership, etc is more here than it is elsewhere, or than it was before Snyder took over. And "dry snitching" isn't more so here either.

It just seems to garner a stronger reaction here from fans than in other places.

I can't stress enough though that the majority of the media (of course there's always the outlier) does not enjoy dealing with losing/bickering teams. Those who've never actually had to work in the media and regularly cover a team think this is what the media thrives on-controversy, losing, etc. That could not be further from the truth.

Thanks for the solid answer.

No one yet. Keep an eye on Denver, he was Kubiak's DC in Texas.

Did Morris really hire Barry at Tampa after Barry was terminated in Detroit?

Barry might have gotten the job because he could/would work with Morris.

Thanks for the update on Wade! It looks like he will be going to denver..WOW what a wacky move they made by letting Fox go ..as I see it they went backwards..oh well .

I hate Raheem, I can't believe they are firing our good coaches and keeping him. I never felt our linebackers or d-line were ever poorly coached. Our secondary has done nothing but look stupid and under coached. Last year we fired the best running back coach in recent history. It is absolutely mind boggling. Keep the crap and get rid of the cream. WTF.

yeah in all honesty I would have rather had Raheem go instead of Haz, IF I had to choose. I thought by getting rid of both of them we'd help ourselves out.

HOWEVER, is there any actual proof or credible source that says Raheem Morris is staying for sure? The whole staff is under reconstruction right now, has he been given a free pass?

I'd hope/think not, but the reactions on this board have me thinking he's been promoted or something....

And this guy might be joining the coaching staff, he has worked for Wade Phillips and sounds great.

it's just weird that we're hiring a guy (with a bad resume) that runs a scheme like wade phillips, hire guys that worked with wade, but not actually hire wade himself.

here's hoping it works out anyways.

I guess the thinking is Barry can relate better with the younger players.

After reading the available articles about Barry and Gruden's comments on the hire that the "Energy" he is looking for is not rah-rah energy. Gruden knows it is going to be a long hard road and wants a grinder who is loyal.

"He’s walking into a situation here where we’re going to have some adversity and I know he can handle it. He’s a tough guy, committed guy, a loyal guy, and I think he’s good fit for us"

it appears.......at least for the moment, nobody else is hiring Wade either.
Weird for sure...

We either predict utter domination or an embarrasing failure. I'm fine with the Barry hire. I wanted Ken Norton but I'll take Barry coming here to lead the defense. I want to see him build his staff, work with the players and come year 3 I hope we're on the way to something special here.
