# of Head Coaches and O/D Coord.

I just thought you guys might find this interesting. Here's the number of coaches on the redskins that have had previous nfl head coach, offensive coordinator, or defensive coordinator titles/experience (not counting one person twice in two positions):

Offense:
3 Head Coaches (including gibbs)
Saunders
Bugel
1 Offensive Coordinator
Burns

Defense:
1 Head Coach
G. Williams
3 Defensive Coordinators:
Blache
Lindsey
Gray

So all together that's 4 previous head coaches (incl. gibbs) and 4 previous offensive/defensive coordinators. Damn that's a lot of experience, which does not even include the other assistants' "lesser" previous nfl experience. Some teams are lucky to hire just 1 coach with head coaching experience.

Its all about the Benjamins. Uh Huh yeaauh HAHA j/k its all about connections and who knows who

Not to sound dumb, but who was Saunders a H/C for?

Saunders served as San Diego’s head coach from the midpoint of the ‘86 season through the ‘88 campaign.

thanks. I'm caught up on everyone else.

I bet it makes life easier for everyone on the coaching staff because they can always use their experience to draw from. And egos and differences should not get in the way because the other 5 previously has either worked with gibbs, williams, or blache.

I was quietly worried about how gibbs and saunders would work, but it appears to be going smoothly with them and also the others. Everything seems to be clicking right with the staff with the stuff I am seeing and hearing publicly so far.

they dont call them the greatest coaching staff ever assembled for nothing

Gibbs obviously puts HIGH priority on individual character of players and coach's. I think besides the obvious attributes his people must have, he puts much thought into "the mix" of staff, and player. If they think you may not be a positive addition to the mix, you cannot come over and play! We ain't got NO TO's. Sage wisdom

Yeah, I think some have forgotten they added former Buffalo dc Jerry Gray like a week after Saunders. That's funny how they can hire a proven defensive coordinator like that and no one seems to take notice.

Only the best money can buy.
