ESPN - Redskins land Mitchell from Seattle - Hashmarks by Matt Mosley

Not surprising.

Ok, let's all panic about this move now

We have more assistant head coach/"Position", than any team in the league lol.

I know I bought my spot for $9.95. I'm now the assistant HC of southeast Georgia Redskin fans.

he was the running back under jim hannifan and the st loius cardinals with neil lomax as their QB ......

I r elite redsk1n fan. dis is unacceptable grrrrrrrrrrrrr im so angry.

All I'm hoping is that Alexanders drop in production is related more to his health then the coaching of Stump Mitchell.

Stump was a great RB when he played for the Cardinals.

He had the reputation as a fumbler. In one Game against the Redskins Dexter Manley offered him $50.00 to fumble, and guess what? He did.

I guess we should welcome him aboard.

otis anderson and roy green i do remember we had some very good battles with the cardinals didn,t we.. i was at the 83/84 nfc east championship game where moseley kicked the winning field goal at my end..
so yes stump was a very solid player and i think a solid hire as well.
thanks to ernest byner for giving it his all in the burgundy and gold as a player and coach....thanks and good luck to ya...

Great move. Guess Byner will be heading to the Northwest now. Sad to see him go, but this is Zorn's offense and a few of his guys are needed on the staff. Stump finished his career averaging 4.7 ypc. He was a great rec. out of the backfield too and I can remember a few games when he was with the Cards that he torched us. I really like this hire.

Well two down one to go, get Sherman Smith under contract and the coaching staff is complete. I would be surprised if Smith isn't a done deal tonight or tomorrow.

Sherman Smith's quote below doesn't look promising

"I work for Jeff Fisher, who I believe is the best coach in football," Smith said. "We have a team that is on the rise. So do we disrupt our lives here and go up there and be a part of what Jim's going to do?"

but we can all hope money talks!

I feel bad for Byner, wasn't he working with Ozzie Newsome on personnel when he was with the Ravens? Maybe he could help out in that area.

If he creates a good flow between Zorn and our running backs as it relates to the system, then I'm all for it. I don't think this is horrible or great. It's plainly a sound move, and will give Zorn a proper venue to and more importantly an additional teacher for the running backs who will be learning a new offense. Plus it adds someone who Zorn has worked with for a while. I'm cool with it.

I thought Byner had re-signed here? I heard that reported on 980 not too long ago. I guess that was wrong.

This is not a great move. Where's the love for Earnest Byner? The guy did an excellent job coaching for us, he is loved by Portis and Betts (and Rock, even though he's basically a special teams guy now). I am surprised that folks will so quickly cast him aside (for crying out loud he played for the Redskins, unlike Mitchell). So much for consistency.
