The best franchises have stability in the front office, coaching staff, and especially at QB when they find a competent one. The Redskins seemingly have stability at all three, so I hope that Gruden is extended and Cousins is given a long term contract. It's just a shame that they didn't pay Cousins last offseason, because he will cost a lot more against the cap now.

I would flip that thinking around a bit and ask you if you think Joe Barry has shown any ability to elevate the defense beyond its talent level?
I have seen no such evidence, meaning it will take top 5 talent to generate a top 5 defense. By the same token he doesn't have this group underachieving.
So I conclude he's "meh".
If you think there's a better, no brainer D Coordinator candidate on the market this offseason, you have to make the move. Super Bowl winners manage to get more than the sum of their parts. So far Barry hasn't shown that ability.
I'm not saying he's a Wade Phillips, but he's not the same 'ole 0-16 guy he was in Detroit either.
Tied for 7th in the league in sacks with Kerrigan, Murphy & Smith. Anyone one of them having a stellar year in your mind? Outside of Baker, nobody is getting an internal push. Losing Gallete late was a big blow, but it just proves our depth still needs work.
Tied for 4th in Forced Fumbles, I'll take that about every year.
Rather than having to break in a new defense (again), I'd like to see just a few upgrades...add 2 DL, an ILB and a Safety.
Did you seriously feel good having Golston/Hood/Ricky Jean as front liners with Baker? I sure didn't.
IMO, if we add just four athletes, who are a tad faster & who tackle just a bit better, I have no doubt we bounce up to become a top 10 defense with Barry.

At Baltimore, vs Philly, and vs Minny I think that Barry showed he could get more bang for his buck for sure. We absolutely dominated Philly on defense. Held Minny to a big goose egg in the second half.

^No way unless he gets a head coaching job
McVay getting a head coaching gif would be a sign we have a good coaching staff here. I can't recall the last time an assistant coach, with the Skins, was sought out for the position?

Well little Shanny created quite the buzz. Anytime a coordinator is young they are labeled a boy genius. Lol.

I can't imagine a 30 year being a hc in the NFL. I doubt if Boy Wonder is ready for that..
But I think Kyle is probably ready. He's a proven OC who has done a real nice job in several stops.

Id be extremely surprised to see him get a HC job. Doesn't have "it" imo.
McVay deserves to get some interviews but I think he needs more seasoning before he would get serious consideration as a HC.
