Redskins promote Greg Manusky to defensive coordinator

Maybe cause Scott has worked with these guys in the past (Manusky and Tomsula) and knows that they can coach.

That could be true, but it seems like we won't ever branch branch out. I want a meritocracy. Nepotism is no good.

I'm telling you right now, a good draft DL, S, ILB, pass rusher and we will be kicking ass defensively next year. All this talk about Manusky being a retread will be a moot point. I've seen it, unfortunately Alex Smith was the QB back then.

This is the year it can happen.. Got a good GM, lots of draft picks, lots of cap space. It's a great set up for a big turnaround. The Giants defense completely changed in one year on a few key acquisitions, we can do this as well. I'm willing to give Manusky a year or two -- but then again, what choice do any of us have anyway....

It's good enough to not get fired. But like I said, given the resources at our disposal this year, they should be able to take a step forward, otherwise we'd have to conclude that Gruden is only capable of getting us on the doorstep of the playoffs, sometimes in, but no further.

He can't bump his head on the ceiling, he needs to break through.

I hope he smashes thru like the Kool-Aid man. I honestly think we win 10+. 9 would be shocking, and not in the good way.

Barring injuries obviously, i think we're a lock for the playoffs.

"I hope Manusky proves me wrong"

Isn't that the crap we were saying about Barry when he was hired? And even about Haslett? We know these guys suck, there will be no surprises. Hate this hire,seriously.
We just hired Tomsula as the dline coach, am I stupid or was he not a plug and play at DC?

I don't think we interviewed him for DC, but I'm glad we got him for DL coach. Great choice. Don't take anything the 9ers joke of an organization does seriously. Now let's get him and Manusky some talent.

All due respect, but piss off. How am I a troll by pointing out the obvious? We have never had a HC longer than 4 seasons since Snyder has owned the team. Next year is year 4. Are you aware of that? I'm just saying Gruden is going to have to have another winning season IMO to have a chance at either returning for year 5, or getting his extension. But you might be a smart person, would you extend your HC next season if he goes 6-10 or worse?

When you say shit like "we will likely have another qb" despite there being 0 credibility towards that "fact" besides your own delusions, I make my own conclusions. The worst part of your statement is the fact I agree, if Manusky somehow keeps our defense average or god forbid even worse next season despite the incoming talent infusion (literally Scott knows he has 1 fucking job this offseason, it's priorities 1, 2, and 3) then there's a good chance our entire staff gets canned instead of just his weak ass d-coordinator.

Besides, extensions don't mean shit. They are just meant to reassure the person who receives them. Forgotten McNabb? He was benched like two weeks after getting his extension in 2010. Go ask Ryan Grigson if that extension that he got last year is working out for him now.

I hate this fucking move. I hope I am proved wrong.

I concur! If the Redskins can get stronger up front on defense and can get a playmaking free safety such as Eric Berry in free agency or draft a free safety such as Malik Hooker or Jabril Peppers , then the defense will improve greatly.....this has been a good offseason already.

Still not a fan of Manusky, and still say this is a underwhelming hire, BUT if he puts good position coaches around him like Tomsula.....then maybe we can have something....
