Coaching and Front Office Changes

Rivera kept O’Connell!

If true, I am good with that and, dare I say it, excited to see what he can do with Haskins next year.

However, I have not seen anything indicating that O'Connell is staying. Do you have a link? All I have seen is reports that KOC will be interviewing.

I think Doug WIlliams is useless and needs to go. Hopefully they put a competent football decision maker in his place.

You may be right but it's so hard to tell with any of our front office guys when Allen was their boss. They didn't even tell him that they were trading for Alex Smith until after the deal. He was told to "turn off his phone" until the next day. What kind of bullshit is that?

I'd like to see which guys can work with RR and which ones can't. I guess that period will be between now and the draft.

Rivera kept O’Connell! I am really exciting to see O’Connell when he is not tied to the over-riding inputs of Gruden and Callahan. Those inputs to the play calling made us predictable and run heavy.

I think we got to see O’Connell in true action in the last few games. His play calling was imaginative and effective. Haskins started to rise to the challenge in the last two games!

This reminds me of all the Twitter people that try to break news first. Where is your link?

From Keim on O'Connell (and Offensive coaches generally):

Still waiting for anything official on the offensive staff. Still fluid.

Redskins offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell will interview with new Washington coach Ron Rivera to determine if he’ll stay on staff in the same role, according to a report.

The NFL Network reported O’Connell “has a chance to stick” around given his work with quarterback Dwayne Haskins, who made significant progress …

Yikes ... Rivera has no connection to this guy. I dont see the old school guy keeping the young 34 year old new school kid.

I think you're overreacting. If Rivera likes KOC I see no reason why KOC can't stick around. Rivera is obviously not one of these coaches that insists he runs the offense knowing damn well that's not where his expertise is.

Yes I was. Rivera is keeping OConnell. Looks like Cavanaugh is out.

That article is 23 hours old and not officially confirmed, Kaczor, Jordan, KOC, weight coach and a mystery 5th coach who might be Cavanaugh. Both have coached together in the past. Hopefully these guys are kept and won’t know till it’s official. Too many bogus rumors already.

I think O’Connell will get the nod from RR for OC. One thing you can be sure of is that every player and coach must fight and compete for their job!! That why Rivera made a comment about Haskins and bringing in another veteran QB and having a competition in TC or something. To me it’s about MOTIVATION and CHALLENGING all the players to perform at their maximum level. If you slack off you’ll be riding pine.....

I am glad to believe that we will finally be seeing the case of the best player gets to start, and not the guy with the biggest contract. For all we know Haskins might not beat out another QB in camp. But at the end of the day, the best player will have the job.
