2024 Commanders Off-Season Thread

I hope Harris isn't seriously thinking of Hiring BB ... and give up Draft picks to do it .. please please NO !!!

He is not

Josh Harris ain't that type of guy who is gonna fire anyone before they can leave the stadium.

I'm assuming tomorrow they come in, he lets the entire staff clean out their offices, gives them a handshake and tells them good luck.

Ron's a respected person but a lousy coach. Harris is gonna keep it classy, thank him for his time and wish him well. If it was Snyder Ron wouldn't have made it past the Thanksgiving blowout.

2nd overall pick

New Ownership (That understands sports and isn't a donkey's ass)
Likely new stadium plan laid out within 3 years

We are likely the most desirable job in the NFL

Chargers look good too, they already have the main puzzle piece figured out with Herbert and that team has talent, just needs competent coaching. Spanos as owner is probably gonna hold them back a little though, he's not much better than Tepper.

Let's hope not. Joe Gibbs recommended Rivera. We all love Joe but he's been out of the game too long to be recommending a GM or coach.

Did J Gibbs recommend RR, or did RR seek out Joe prior to accepting the job?

Yeah, I think Harris beats Spanos, at least for now. Hopefully, the restraint Harris has shown throughout this season bodes well for our franchise's future.

According to local reports Gibbs encouraged Snyder to come down to Carolina and talk to Ron

I love Coach Joe and thank him immensely for the success he had first time around and the respectability he had 2nd time around but this is 100% the wrong take. His 2nd time around he thought he could skip the whole "develop a young qb" thing by getting Brunell and that was one of his big downfalls. The game passed him by - offensive rules were getting made emphasizing pass interference/big plays/more scoring and the great teams of those days realized where the advantage was.

The NFL has been tilting the rules in favor of the offense for the last 20 years or so and Coach Joe thought he could still win with a veteran qb game manager and a strong running game. Those days are gone. Ball control will win games when you're playing quick-score offenses (good defense and strong running game will hold them in check) but it's not an effective strategy for winning 12 games and a title. The best teams have solid defenses and aggressive offenses that air it out (which is what the NFL wants).

Yes, but knowing the best coordinators and gm's is different. If JG was giving advice on the character of guys, I would trust him implicitly, but knowing the best FO hires and innovative HC guys, not as much.

I am glad he is talking with JG, because I believe JG truly wants this franchise to thrive. But I hope he is getting advice from guys like the analytics dude he brought in.

Exactly! I'm one who normally agrees with Chief. I don't know if I'd consult with Gibbs nowadays. Gibbs might be promoting or pushing for Belichek for all we know.
