It's official - Al Saunders is our new offensive coordinator!

[SmootSmack]

It may be a stretch, but now I'm wondering if maybe Musgrave is one and done. His philosophy doesn't fit with the rest of the staffs'. And they don't need him to stick around to keep teaching them how to run a shotgun offense, I think they have figured out by now.

It should also (if there are still any doubters out there) demonstrate that Gibbs is absolutely driven to win and seemingly egoless in his desire. Also, given the scaled down offseason last year, and the money being thrown around for coaches this year, maybe JG and Danny boy believe they have found the answer to winning in the salary cap era. Quality (not star) players and excellent coaching.

Pardon me while I go pray to my Gibbs idol.

My sentiments exactly. And so quickly into the offseason--did you see at the last press conference where they asked Gibbs if he would relax, and he smiled that Gibbs smile and said, "well, it's a full-time thing up here..." Gibbs rules.

Musgrave is the QB coach, he never was the OC despite what people may have thought.

I wouldn't be surprised if the whole staff is back--the titles are relatively meaningless, in a sense. It's kinda like a brain trust, with certain folks having special positional jobs--Buges with the line, Musgrave with the QBs. My guess is that we get the old staff plus Saunders, though what they call it depends on how to best protect these guys from poaching by other teams. I love it.

The only negative about the Saunders move is now we'll disect the hell out of this until draft day --- Mods get ready to do a mega-merge on this one!!!

True. But I just think someone has to go. And maybe it will be Musgrave. I still think Breaux is the most likely candidate

The WP finally got an article posted about the Saunders hiring and it says all coaches are likely to stay on.

That means someone will be fired in the next ten minutes...

I wouldn't put it past Danny boy to fire someone just to spite the WP. "Heads down! Heads down! Snyder is out to get the WP by firing someone's ass." yells Joe Gibbs as he runs through Redskins park.

It will be interesting to see what Saunders does with the QB situation
