Nice insight. Based on the article, it certainly doesn't seem like Peters and the owners were locked onto Johnson at all. The fact that Peters told Raheem Morris' team that he prefers to complete the entire search process when they gave him the heads up about the Falcons job, it tells me that Peters and the owners had a clear procedure and wants to follow through with it. Quinn certainly didn't seems like he was our back up plan but an actual real candidate for us since the beginning.

the way he handled the process; we may have dodge a built

for real though; you know a team is coming to see you, at best go to a nice lunch with them see what they say and offer; then tell TBNT

he acted like a 15 year old afraid to go to his first interview at McDonalds

The hiring of Quinn and Peters gained support from Jonathan Allen, one of Washington’s defensive leaders and a player “frustrated” with the team’s direction entering the offseason.

“I haven’t met a player — and I’ve probably talked to hundreds of players who played for (Quinn) — that does not love him,” the two-time Pro Bowl selection said at a local radio event on Friday. “The thing that makes him a great coach is how he galvanizes a team and gets guys to play hard. That’s half the battle with winning.”

Let’s hope he can get Allen to play a bit harder. And Payne. And nearly everyone else.

Very nice article summarizing the whole search process. Pretty much corroborates what Keim has been saying all along the about the search process.

Dan Quinn said he met with Eric Bieniemy today and although he has great respect and a brotherhood with EB, they wouldn’t be coaching together here. In other words, EB won’t be back in DC. #NFL #httc

Quinns press conference, i know its just a press conference, is making me feel a bit better about the hire. Philosophy wise and intent wise he is saying all the right things. From team building and then creating a good on field product.... i am more comfortable with the hire.

Obviously will it translate onto the field will be the biggest telling point but -- first impression today is a good one for me. He seems like he has evolved and learned from his past experiences as a coaxh and an x's ans o's stand point.

seems like some great humility and willingness to keep evolving.

Again, step one, first impression, happiness and kool aid flowing but.... I'm impressed at first glance.

In the words of the great fictional character Sarah Newlin...

"Praise his light!"

Let’s hope he can get Allen to play a bit harder. And Payne. And nearly everyone else.
