Pick Your Next Redskins Head Coach

More interview requests so time for a new thread

Had to go with Franklin, I really like him. There's a reason many major college programs pursued him.

Your link to httr24-7 cincy offense breakdown sold me last night SS. Jay Gruden ftw.

4 teams have asked to inteview Gruden per JLC. Skins, Vikings, Lions, Titans. So much for him drawing no interest.

Of the guys listed I would rank:

1) Zimmer
2) Franklin
3) Gruden

While working with RGIII is a lot different than working with Andy Dalton, three consecutive play-offs where the offense ****s the bed against competition that isn't unbeatable for Jay Gruden scares me a little bit. Personally I would much prefer a defensively oriented head coach, our D has been too bad not to try that at this juncture. Franklin certainly interests me as well.

Who do we think is our biggest competition for Gruden?

Bevell. We can find a good DC (I say Greg Williams for 4-3, Wade Phillips if we stay 3-4). We will be defined by our offense (RG3 is the face of this franchise). Bevell runs the type of offense we need to run. Run heavy with a dynamic quarterback.

And, if you are one of those people who believes RG3 is a headcase, you should want him even more. He (as OC of the Vikings) was behind Brett Favre's best year even while Brett was a sideshow attraction.

Who do we think is our biggest competition for Gruden?

Lions maybe?

I'm just guessing.

I'm a bit interested. A lot of the defensive names the skins have been tied to are 4-3 type guys. Do you forsee us moving back to the 4-3? Personally, I think it would work better for us. I believe we have better fitting personnel for ther 4-3 right now. I'd like to see Orakpo and Kerrigan with their hand in the dirt and it makes ILB less of an immediate need with Riley playing well.

I said Gruden because:

1) I read a report that said that Bevell may have a coordinator's personality but not a HC's personality.

2) Zimmer is described as really blunt and honest. While I admire those qualities in people, his constellation of those traits may limit his important diplomatic moments as a HC

3) Franklin is tempting but may be too young, too unproven. He may need more seasoning before being an NFL HC.

4) The other folks don't excite me much.

My 2 cents.
