Look at Fangio's D rankings prior to SF.
Vic Fangio Record, Statistics, and Category Ranks | Pro-Football-Reference.com (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/coaches/FangVi0.htm)
Of course the same argument flies directly in the face of spurning Wade Phillips. All he's ever done is immediately improve the defense in his first season with a new team.
The only acceptable response for not hiring Wade is if Wade was not interested. I can't for the life of me understand it.

Well said.
Russell was just on the Drive on ESPN 980.
He said that a very important voice in the organization explained they felt Fangio's success was in large part due to the outstanding talent he had and that they felt Barry got more with less.
Does anyone know:
1. Who the "voice" is and
2. If this led to Barry being hired or if this is spin after Fangio turned us down?
According to Gruden, Vic was never offered the job

Man I had to come to the WARPATH to rid my mind of all the negative vibes on that other site ..its unreal how folks calling for Haslet to be fired are now complaining about The new guy and he just got here..I will admit it does not seem like a big name flashy hire..but that has not worked out very good so far..The Redskin fans on sites i have checked into are very very negative about everything..I guess all the losing makes us that way..but at least on the surface it seems things are finally going in the right direction..we got a REAL GM..We have NEW O LINE COACH..NEW DC..AND ALL OUR DRAFT PICKS ..and we are sitting in the catbird seat at number 5..a lot of moves can be made there..i for one I'm going to get positive and at least give the Redskins half of next season to see where its going..I can tell you this much If we can win 8 games next year i will be happy..another draft and who knows ..gotta give it a chance!

I don't think he was. I can't say for sure, but people I talk to within and close to the Redskins always left me with the impression that talks were never very serious re: Wade

In the immortal words of one Aaron Rodgers, everyone justs needs to RELAX.
I can buy being uninspired. I can buy being skeptical. I can buy being dissapointed we didn't snag someone more proven. But for f*cks sake the weirdly large contingent of people literally freaking the f*ck out need to get a drink or something. How about we give the guy a chance? Worst case scenario is he's awful and we suck...in which case 2016 is a total house cleaning. It's 50-50 either way on that anyways. We could have a tag team of belichek and parcells running our D and the talent alone would sink below average. Nothing is magically changing next year anyways because of that.

Any info on his scheme? Is it too early for him to have a scheme?
More Pittsburg with big guys occupying lineman or more Wade Phillips with the d line actively rushing?

Good question. He hasn't had a scheme of his own since he was in Detroit and that was a 4-3.
