skinsfan69 01-20-2015, 04:54 PM Say goodbye to defensive free agents like RAK....
Good luck to the skins attracting any defensive free agents!
Making a bad coach has a domino effect with our ability to attract talent.
This GUARANTEES we must build with the draft.
Who wants to go to a 4-12 team with a unproven coach..a meddling owner, a good old boy president and the historically worst defensive coordinator of all time?
WOW....wonder if someone has started drinking again?
We should be doing this anyway.

Since you like Keim but don't seem to understand the networking issues that many here have raised, let's let Keim say it:
It certainly looks like a case of being well-connected, with ties to Bruce Allen, Jay Gruden, Doug Williams and Raheem Morris in Tampa Bay and to A.J. Smith in San Diego. As I always say: Do you trust them to make the right decisions? It's easy to understand if you don't based on recent seasons and track records.

Pulling the video out of the article...kinda cool video of Barry going over defense.
Like Keim says, we need a major over haul with talent.
MrBalls 01-20-2015, 05:35 PM I guess we'll see what happens, could be good or not. hopefully he's better than Has.
sdskinsfan2001 01-20-2015, 05:39 PM Will he (Barry) call more than 1 defensive play throughout the game? If yes, I'm willing to give him a fair shake before freaking out. I do like that he's a younger guy, that lions team was terrible, no coach was doing anything with that, won't hold it against him. Sucks the draft is all the way in May, I'm ready now.
Alvin Walton 01-20-2015, 06:09 PM Uh, Im not the one dropping f bombs....and yes...he has coached as a defensive coordinator for 2 years and sucked badly....those are the facts.
I am unhappy BECAUSE of his track record...not because he doesn't have one.
If I did...I would call myself an idiot.
So, let's agree to disagree....I say this hire sucks...I give it an F.
It looks like maybe you may give it a B?
I dont give it anything because we havent played a down yet.
Ruhskins 01-20-2015, 06:11 PM Since you like Keim but don't seem to understand the networking issues that many here have raised, let's let Keim say it:
I do understand the networking concerns that people are raising here. But some people make such a bad argument about it that they make it seem as though someone hired is automatically bad because they are connected to Allen or Gruden.
I've always been the wait and see type of person. I know Allen/Gruden haven't made the best choices, but hopefully they are turning the corner. Maybe the Callahan and McC hiring are signs that they are doing a better job at finding people they know, who are also well qualified.
At the end of the day, I'm just a fan, I just don't obsesses or pretend to know more than what I know. If I'm so positive things are going to fail, what's the point of being a fan?
JWsleep 01-20-2015, 06:16 PM Here's Gruden on the hire: Jay Gruden explains why he feels Joe Barry is the ‘best fit’ for Redskins - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/wp/2015/01/20/jay-gruden-explains-why-he-feels-joe-barry-is-the-best-fit-for-redskins/)
JoeRedskin 01-20-2015, 06:18 PM Another guy from that Tampa Bay coaching staff was Mike Tomlin.
I mean, just b/c they have connections doesn't mean they are bad. To me, Barry was an unknown that didn't seem to have people banging on his door, couple that with his Detroit experience and the ties with BA from Tampa, well it makes me nervous.
To me, the key is can he scheme for what we have and develop players through his position coaches.
As others have said, this is on Jay. I think he gets this year and he probably knows it. If he and Barry don't show improvement on the field, then McC hires a new coach next year (warning: McC's replacement for Mike Nolan was Mike Singletary - not exactly a HOF coaching candidate).
Crossing my fingers, will wait and see, but just not getting my hopes up.
