If you look at the Redskins coaching Staff (http://www.redskins.com/team/coachingstaff.jsp) do you feel like there's something a little odd with it? First of all, why are there four coaches with Head Coach assigned to their title? Of course Gibbs is the Head Coach but why are Saunders, Williams and Bugel also mentioned as such? I always knew about the titles given to these coaches in the past but never really thought about it. After looking at it for awhile, I decided to look at what I consider the four best teams in the league right now and how their coaches are set up and also their titles. The Colts, (http://www.colts.com/sub.cfm?page=coaches) Patriots, (http://www.patriots.com/team/index.cfm?ac=coaches) Bears, (http://www.chicagobears.com/team/CoachesCorner.html) and Giants (http://www.giants.com/team/coaches.html). While looking at these other teams closely and painfully, I notice one thing, there are only one additional coach on each team with the title Assistant Head Coach followed by what position they actually do coach. The Giants don't have anyone with the title Assistant Head Coach. Also, there are no other teams with more than one coach that controls the offense. The Redskins have four, maybe even five if you consider Gibbs aswell. I also notice that Bugel is not listed as the offensive line coach and Williams is listed as Assistant Head Coach Defense and Blache is the Defensive Coordinator/D Line. Saunders is listed as Associate Head Coach offense. So I guess Saunders is the number two guy when it comes down to the the coaches? Who's calling the plays on offense? We're all told its Saunders but why then is Breaux listed as the offensive coordinator. And the same thing applies to the defense with Williams and Blache? I guess I never really noticed it before. Does anybody here think that this is helping or hurting the command structure of this team and how the players see it, or do they even know or care about it?
To me, I think it diminishes Gibbs authority over the players and also the coaches. You can't have more than one captain at the helm and one person calling plays at a time. On offense, does Gibbs have four people talking to him at a time? Could this team have good players, that can win it all but at the same time have a coaching staff the can't communicate properly and agree on a basic game plan. I guess what I'm asking is, can it be that the coaches are limiting what this team can do?
Lastly, with all the recent acquisitions made to the team and all the cash assigned to it, I was wondering if Gibbs was totally responsible for it. So I did a search for Vinny Cerrato on the web and came across this link (http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-114278.html). Very interesting Q and A with Cerrato about how the team goes about signing players in the off season. If this is how the team is run then no wonder the team is paying soooo much for players that should be payed way less. Snyder controls the amounts being paid out every year. So essentially the entire payroll is controlled by a guy that doesn't know Jack Shit about what he's even doing. I guess the coaches talk to him before hand about what the player can and can't do but ultimately, the price tag is up to Snyder. WTF!!!
I just hope somehow and someway that THE HEAD COACH, Joe Gibbs can turn this thing around and quick. Because I still believe he can and will if ALLOWED.
