Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins

I think he's probably referring to a HC position. If so, his dad sucks as a HC. If he's talking about just any job, I agree with him. Wade Phillips is one of the best in the business as a DC.

From the article:
Phillips wrote on Twitter that he is “Disappointed” he hasn’t received so much as an opportunity to interview for a defensive coordinator position. Phillips noted that he has a wealth of experience in the NFL, and the last five times he was hired as a defensive coordinator, the team that hired him made the playoffs in his first year on the job.(emphasis mine)

I don't really understand it either, given that Monte Kiffen at 73 is still the DC of the Cowboys, it doesn't seem like age should be a factor.

Nobody can say that our coaching candidates don't have good bloodlines.

We're building a Son-of-a-Son-of-a-Coach Coaching Staff.


I thought you just got rid of one .

Wade Phillips is a proven guy, been around a real long time. I'd probably say he's an upgrade over Haslett. But he's not going to be coming here. People hire who their comfortable with.

so was morris the secondary or DB coach last year?
are we going to have a secondary this year or will we have a safeties coach?

our secondary sucked ball sacks last year. i hope its more lack of talent than coaching but ... damn we were bad in the secondary, especially the first half of the season.

oh well, im hoping it all comes together.

Morris was the secondary coach last year.

Only the Pats, Texans, Colts, Giants, Packers, Falcons, Bucs and Cards have separate coaches; one for cornerbacks and one for safeties.

I thought you just got rid of one .

it wasn't about the bloodline with Kyle . . . it was the fact that daddy was the head coach at the same time . . .

His dad wants a job and isn't getting interest. Why? He seems like he would be a good fit here.

Wade is a beast at the DC position and he would be a dream if he landed here

A good friend and reliable source said that haslett has a 50 percent chance of being retained. They want to keep him, but public disdain for Haslett has them rethinking the decision. Kind of like when they wanted to hire Jim Fassel.

Public opinion should have nothing to do with it. Having the best guy for the job should be the sole criterion.

The fact that IMO Haslett is not the best man for the job should be irrelevant.

Well if that were the case Haslett would have been sent packing

And I never understood that. A guy who led the Giants to a Super Bowl, a 2 time winner of the NFC East -- and people thought he was complete garbage.

It's absolutely stunning that he never got a second chance somewhere.
