Choose Your 2014 Redskins Head Coach (Volume 2)

I know this is an impossibility, but I believe the best thing Snyder could do for the longterm health of this organization is to keep Shanahan until his contract ends. The choice to actually patch-up a relationship rather than terminate it would certainly change the attitude about the organization that outsiders have. It would enable the Skins to attract better coaching options. It would promote a sense of elasticity and autonomy within the organization. Organizations are like relationships: strong ones don't avoid conflict, they handle it. They don't allow conflict to destroy relationships, they use conflict management strategies to strengthen relationships.

Kevin Sumlin is the wild card. I don't think he would be a bad choice.

I like him for a wild card as well.

Smoot, is Ribary and or Tobin actually being actively pursued by the Redskins? Because if so, I would rather go with one of them (probably Ribary) than to promote Morocco. Brown just seems like wild card to me, and we can see how well the Bengals and Seahawks are doing.

Ribary, not that I know of.

Tobin. Well I know they have strong interest in Jay Gruden. And Gruden is very close to Tobin, so...

Ribary, not that I know of.

Tobin. Well I know they have strong interest in Jay Gruden. And Gruden is very close to Tobin, so...

So your thoughts are if Jay comes here as a head coach, then it's a strong possibility Tobin follows? In that case, I'd probably be just fine with that.

I want to throw this out there even though I think its crazy but the feeling in Pittsburgh is that Mike Tomlin is gone after the season. What would you feel about him as coach?

I don't see them letting tomlin go , he's a winner and Pitt never changes coaches that fast

I don't see them letting tomlin go , he's a winner and Pitt never changes coaches that fast

That's what I said as well but that's the word around there. Pittsburgh is tired of him and he is gone. I don't believe it either but if its true I think I would take him in a minute.

Is there anyone out there around the Pittsburgh area hearing the same thing?

I retract my early vote for Shanahan.

Now that he's blatantly acting in the best interests of the team to screw with Snyder...forget him.

I had previously held to the idea of seeing what he could do with a full salary cap...well you've burned that bridge, Mike. Please leave.

I'm not sold on Briles. I'm not sold on Chip Kelly's recent streak of success. This division's weakness is the only reason they're sitting on top right now and I do not believe he'll have long-term success...so trying to replicate what Philadelphia is doing is not the right move. The only reason to bring in Briles is to make Griffin's job easier, but I also think that would hold him back from developing into the pro QB he needs to become for a long career.

I've always liked Jon Gruden but I'm not sure I trust him after his recent comments that Cousins should be playing. I still maintain the best thing for Robert right now is reps.

Bill O'Brien is intriguing. I am stuck here in the middle of Paterno country and I really thought Penn State would be really harmed by the NCAA sanctions and reduced scholarships. O'Brien has done an incredible job with the team who was playing at a competitive disadvantage, something Shanahan could not do wit the salary cap penalty. He also has pro experience with Belichick, which is invaluable.

Jay Gruden is an outstanding choice, but I also think we need to bring in a defensive-minded coach like Lovie Smith. I'm fine with Jay as HC if we can bring in a top defensive coordinator. I don't know if Lovie would settle for a DC job with other teams like Houston probably pursuing him for a top job, but landing both Jay Gruden as HC and Lovie Smith as DC would be the best possible scenario to me.

Ken Wisenhunt could be a good choice.

I'd trust Singletary as a DC, but not HC.

Sumlin could be a good choice to help develop Griffin into a pro QB.

Aaron Kromer has had great sucess at building offensive lines, which is one of our greatest needs.



I'll rank my new choices:

Lovie Smith
Jay Gruden
Bill O'Brien
Ken Wisenhunt
Kevin Sumlin
Aaron Kromer
Darrell Bevell

Is there anyone out there around the Pittsburgh area hearing the same thing?

I've heard rumors that he's a candidate for the Texas Longhorns.

I don't think that rumor would start without one about him losing his Pittsburgh job.
