2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News

It makes perfect sense. Remember that report that they had hired Barry and shit hit the fan in terms of fan reaction? Quickly after you saw them retract that and interview Fangio and couple other people. Then put out a report that Vic didn't want to be in Washington. That way they can tell the fans...."see, look, we did everything we could to get in a good DC".....so back to Barry.

Barry over Wade Phillips? That should tell you all you need to know.

I believe it was just Ian Rapaport that initially said the deal was completed. Most everyone else said it was close and not a done deal. And a few said one reason it was not done yet was because the door was still open on a meeting with Fangio.

In other words, I think Fangio was on their list for a while. Well, we know it was. Were they genuinely interested in Fangio, or was it just a "fact finding mission"? I don't know

But in general I don't believe the Redskins should listen to fan sentiment. Fans are so proud of changing the Redskins' mind on proven HC Jim Fassel (a story that I think/know is way overblown), but what did that get us? Jim Zorn

I don't think disgruntled media, ownership, etc is more here than it is elsewhere, or than it was before Snyder took over. And "dry snitching" isn't more so here either.

It just seems to garner a stronger reaction here from fans than in other places.

I can't stress enough though that the majority of the media (of course there's always the outlier) does not enjoy dealing with losing/bickering teams. Those who've never actually had to work in the media and regularly cover a team think this is what the media thrives on-controversy, losing, etc. That could not be further from the truth.
Thanks for the solid answer.

Thanks for the update on Wade! It looks like he will be going to denver..WOW what a wacky move they made by letting Fox go ..as I see it they went backwards..oh well .

Too much tinfoil hat wearing for my taste.

I hate Raheem, I can't believe they are firing our good coaches and keeping him. I never felt our linebackers or d-line were ever poorly coached. Our secondary has done nothing but look stupid and under coached. Last year we fired the best running back coach in recent history. It is absolutely mind boggling. Keep the crap and get rid of the cream. WTF.

yeah in all honesty I would have rather had Raheem go instead of Haz, IF I had to choose. I thought by getting rid of both of them we'd help ourselves out.

HOWEVER, is there any actual proof or credible source that says Raheem Morris is staying for sure? The whole staff is under reconstruction right now, has he been given a free pass?

I'd hope/think not, but the reactions on this board have me thinking he's been promoted or something....

And this guy might be joining the coaching staff, he has worked for Wade Phillips and sounds great.

it's just weird that we're hiring a guy (with a bad resume) that runs a scheme like wade phillips, hire guys that worked with wade, but not actually hire wade himself.

here's hoping it works out anyways.

Possibly, but do you really put anything past this front office? Not saying I believe that situation to be the case, but I don't discount it either.

I guess the thinking is Barry can relate better with the younger players.
