What is it with teams having these "defensive pass game coordinator" and "run game coordinator" and "offensive passing game coordinator" positons? is it just to give guys a fancier title than "Defensive backs coach, running backs coach, Wide receivers coach, etc.?
I wondered that too, like why would you have different coordinators for run/pass? That seems like too many cooks in the kitchen to me.
Did he work for Redskins before? For some reason, I remember we once had a coach with same last name on defense side. I think it was back in Gibbs 2.0 era.
Yes he did, assistant DB coach 1994-96

Kevin O'Connell is still our QB coach, but we are interviewing others to take his job. O'Connell is widely viewed as a rising star, but we're giving him the Manusky treatment. Of course, perhaps we just interviewed Zampese to get "new ideas." Do you think O'Connell participated in on the interview?
Hopefully it means a promotion for O’Connell

I want O'Connell to be HC so I can sound important and say I know the Skins HC personally.

Another Marvin Lewis Coaching Tree Failure.
Zero Playoff wins with ML in 16 seasons.
Lewis is the Kim Kardashian of NFL head coaches and Jay is Rob Kardashian.

He is an up and coming name, right? Maybe the plan is to make him OC/playcaller and then promote him to HC if/when Jay fails.

That is Chris Russell's speculation. He said Dan loves OConnell and does not want to lose him. Said he's in play to be the HC when they move on from Gruden.

I’ve had a slow week so far at work with the weather going on. So I had some time to nerd out on some numbers. I’ll be the first to say I was diss appointed in Manusky at as the season progressed, but since we have him for another year I decided to look at the numbers.
I’ve split the season up into 2 groups. Pre Alex Injury and after.
Time of possession per game avg:
Week 1-11 31:24
Week 12-17 26:40
Rushing yards against per game avg
Week 1-11 95.7
Week 12-17 150
Season 116.25
Our defense was crushing the run game early. We held our first 8 teams below there season avg of rushing yards per game. Took some lumps in Atlanta (55yds)and then barely missed keeping Tampa (7) and Houston (12) under their avg.
Then Alex injury happened and our offense couldn’t stay on the field. Our defense had to do everything (aside from JJ’s 2 good games) and the rush yards added up.
I realize stats aren’t everything, but it helps seeing as how we’re stuck with Manusky. I am a little curious to the whatif Alex had stayed healthy. We wouldn’t be in the Super Bowl but would our defense have ended on such a sour note?
Overal I have to say I’m starting to like the moves they are making.
