Choose Your 2014 Redskins Head Coach (Volume 2)

Y'all realize that the order in which candidates are interviewed has zero to do with the order of interest in them, right?

I just don't get why everyone thinks we need a HC with HC experience. Most the current NFL coaches that are having success didn't. We have gone through so many retreads, and really never have given an unproven guy much time to develop (Spurrier, Zorn ; pretty sure they wouldnt have, but look at Gibbs slow start). I'm glad there aren't many "experienced" HC out there to confuse this search. I want a young guy that Our young talent can relate to, will listen to, and will play their hearts out for. I want a guy that will get creative and adjust game plans and schemes based on circumstance and available talent. I want someone with those intangible leadership skills, someone with "it". I don't know what "it" is, but I think that is really what matters when choosing a HC when the "experienced" pool is running dry or not what your looking for. I hope Bruce knows what "it" looks like, and that he finds someone who has it.

Anyways, chill out, these are only the first few interviews. I have a feeling I ought to watch the playoffs this year (usually don't care if it isn't Skins), chances are that's where our future coach is.

I really like what McDermott's players had to say about him.


Sean McDermott interview won't be a distraction - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/blog/carolina-panthers/post/_/id/3647/mcdermott-interview-wont-be-a-distraction)

Umm. Doesn't have anything to do with being "blind".

I'm not going to judge a coach or team based off one year of penalties.

22 wins in 4 seasons is pretty mediocre for any head coach. Doesn't get any more mediocre then that.


Its not about the Cerrato team that any coach would be inheriting. It would be about what coach is going to with a ream that Shanahan made. Slow Defense and a small offensive line. Only one playmaker at WR and a RB who we are not sure will be able to play outside a Shanny zone offense.

They'll have every opportunity to quickly improve the roster. The Skins are in a better cap situation that any team in the NFC and all of Shanny's signings over the years have been team friendly. The next coach isn't inheriting a Haynesworth or Portis-like contract. They'll have a full compliment of picks starting in year 2.

And the cupboard is not bare, at least on Offense. They were the #1 rushing unit just last year and top 5 Offensively. It will all come down to the play of RG3. Reed can be a legit #2 and garçon lead the league in receptions and Alfmo put up 1600 yards just a year ago. TW is one of the best left tackles in football.

Briles shouldn't even be considered. And i dont get what the hype around Bevell is. The Seahawks aren't known for offense and after everything I have read I certainly don't get the interest.

McDermott seems a better choice if it were between the 2

We very likely haven't interviewed the top targets yet.

Everyone needs to chill the heck out.

Ive watched Baylor several times this year, each time i come away disappointed. Briles doesnt care a damn bit about defense. I dont think he is close to NFL ready head coach.

I have no idea why his name is even being mentioned. I doubt the Redskins are even interested. Just rumors flying....

Also...funny how when Cousins was asked who he'd like as the next head coach he says.." well that will be up to Mr. Snyder and Robert"....lol.

Some people are too caught up in being opinionated know-nothings than actually using any critical thought or trying to understand.

Perhaps they would be more comfortable if they understood that the timing of the interviews we've had so far has been mostly because of NFL rules about when playoff Coordinators can interview. But that would have taken a moderate amount of effort to know and understand.

Sigh.

For Pete's sake. People around here are thinking the world is going to end because Smith and O'Brien are off the board. If the Redskins had chosen too fast you'd be complaining that they didn't do a thorough enough job interviewing all the candidates. Now it's "we are going to be stuck with our fourth or fifth choice". Geez Louise people! Get a grip! The spot has only been vacant since Monday. The week isn't over yet.
