Pick Your Next Redskins Head Coach

Yeah I was thinking the same thing.Ive seen people close to the situation talk about how much work Wilson puts in learning the position,film study etc.

I have no idea how much time RG3 puts in,I have never heard anyone discuss it,I would love to know.

If he doesnt,maybe Bevell could help that situation,who knows

Certainly, prior to the recent character assassination pieces coming out, there were multiple stories him being first guy on the bus, last one out of the film room, etc. Even in all the "boy emperor" crap coming out, no one has disparaged his work ethic.

I think that would be fairly standard treatment for any of the serious candidates. If memory serves even Zorn got treated to a dinner and he was already on staff.

I have not seen anybody criticize his work ethic but I do not remember reading any stories about how good it was either
I do not remember any football commentators commenting on how good his work ethic is etc., which I have seen them do about Wilson.
If you say there were multiple stories then that's good to know I just haven't seen any

Call Sally Jenkins. DinnerGate has begun.

More seriously, dining with candidates outside of the formal interview is pretty normal stuff.

So I googled RG3 work ethic and I did find some articles saying it was pretty good,so thats indeed good news.
I thought this was a very good article:
Teammate on RGIII: 'I Don't Think He's Changed Since the First Time I Met Him' | Bleacher Report (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1894502-teammate-on-rgiii-i-dont-think-hes-changed-since-the-first-time-i-met-him)
This is my favorite line from the article:"Some players, like Polumbus, say Griffin has been unfairly portrayed as an egotistical douche. "

In my perfect scnario, I'd take Gruden as HC with Bevell as OC and Zimmer as DC. :D


I cannot decide between Gruden, Bevell and Wisenhunt. I'd like to see Wisenhunt bring in Russ Grimm, but bringing in Bevell is intriguing and I love the idea of taking one of Seattle's coaches away from them. I'm just not sure if he's ready to make the leap from OC to HC. If we could get him as an OC, that would be great but I highly doubt he'd make a parallel career move and leave Seattle without a promotion.

McDermott would be a good choice too. I really think it all hinges on what assistants will be joining the new coach, especially the defensive coordinator.

Quite a dream. I can definitely see two coordinators of playoff teams who are garnering attention as HC candidates going to be coordinators for a 3-13 team. :)

On Twitter : One source says Jay Gruden seems to prefer Titans over Redskins but has been told Redskins might make offer that would be tough to refuse.
While I'm not all in or all out on Gruden, I don't think we should overbid or overpay for him. Make an offer, if he likes it good, if not, don't get into a back and forth for him. I don't think he's a can't miss coaching prospect that you have to get.

i agree...make a fair offer and if he doesnt accept then move on.

Tug-of-war could be emerging for Jay Gruden | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/01/08/tug-of-war-could-be-emerging-for-jay-gruden/)

"That said, it’s no surprise that Jay Gruden would be inclined to avoid a potentially destructive situation in D.C., given the reported attitude of the quarterback and the accepted reputation of the owner. And it’s no surprise that Snyder may have to pay a premium in order to lure a candidate who has options elsewhere."
