According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Redskins hired Chargers LBs coach Joe Barry as their new defensive coordinator.
Rapoport had the exact same report six days ago, but it turned out the Redskins were still chasing down other candidates. Only after Vic Fangio chose to go with John Fox and the Bears did Barry get back on the top of the list. So now the 'Skins are settling for an underwhelming Barry, who was the Lions defensive coordinator during 2007 and 2008 -- when the team went winless one year and ranked last in total defense both years. This Redskins unit is going to be a defense to attack from a fantasy perspective once again in 2015.
done deal

Jim Schwartz could provide both....if we had interest before, why not now.
I think the biggest thing holding Schwartz back is not having a proper Bruce Allen connection. eff this sh*t
So you're assuming that Schwartz really wants to be here?
Fangio had no connections to Allen and he was the team's #1 candidate from the beginning. So can we can tone down with the whole networking/connections complaints.
The funny thing is that Fangio went to Chicago because he has strong ties to Fox.

Doesn't matter about Fangio really? We have shit personnel and it's not like he's going to make gold out of poop. Besides, why would we trot him in here with a huge possibility of them cutting ties with Gruden next season?

This hire is about as exciting as watching grass grow.

I'm Going to give Barry the benefit of the doubt on his latest work as an LB coach with SD. Glad this search is over and can move forwards. Overall this offseason has been great, we got the best GM available and OL coach. Looking towards free agency and hope we can get Mike Iupati, he would be my #1 target if they signed someone.

At first glance this Barry hiring looks like weak shit to me, but that's the status quo for this franchise as of late, so w/e. Guess it won't matter if Gruden doesn't get a 3rd season.
