2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News

[Ruhskins]

I hope folks don't mind a new thread (and the other thread about the def coord was getting pretty big):

Callahan is our new o-line coach:

Bill Callahan as a offensive line coach is a great addition to the Redskins. Now will they draft a right tackle?

And still nothing about the DC. Though I would imagine (and hope) that once the new DC is hired we'll have more position coaches hired.

And here's a link:

Redskins reach deal with Cowboys assistant, per reports | Comcast SportsNet Washington

Pretty important hire, specially after seeing how well the Cowpukes developed their o-line.

[Fiversons]

This is another good hire and a step in the right direction... If they hire Fangio or Wade as the DC, I would be very happy with our new GM and Coaching Staff...

[SFREDSKIN]

I'll be down for Fangio, Donatell and Brad Seeley as our DC, DB and ST coaches

great news

[diehardskin2982]

Callahan is a big hire for the skins. Weakens the Boys and will help Gruden as a HC. If they can pull Vic and Donatell, this is the best Redskins offseason since Gibbs came back.

[SirLK26]

Callahan is a great hire.

Still not convinced about Fangio.

[hutch17]

Alfmo and DY must pooping their pants with joy right now!

[DYoungJelly]

Great Hire.

Now we have taken two steps in the right direction.

Callahan may have some ties to Bruce Allen from their days at Oakland

I know this is partially tongue in cheek.

But I'm fine with "previous ties" if it yields the best candidate. I don't think the Redskins could have done better in the O Line department based on what was available. Callahan's a very good coach.

But if we pass up Wade Phillips or Vic Fangio to hire Joe Barry because of connections, I'mma break something.

Another Callahan connection...

@john_keim: connections do matter with Gruden too: Shares agent with Callahan, Fangio and Donatell. got one. Will he get others?

Hopefully we get some good news this weekend

[Ruhskins]

If the Redskins are going to develop RG3 or any other young QB, they need to have a better than average o-line. Given this, I think this is a significant hire this offseason.

[over the mountain]

i see this as a kinda lateral move in terms of coaching talent but probably something that had to be done.

lateral move in that i thought foerster was a very good O line coach.

since 2010 he developed TW into a perennial probowler, lichensteiger's move to Center was flawless, got the most out of will montgomery when he was here .. not to mention he was the O line coach that got Alfmo the 2nd most yards in the NFL for 3 seasons.

Foerster was probably the best position coach we had.

had to be done in the sense that he was a hold over from Shanny's zone blocking scheme and we have a somewhat new approach to blocking now under gruden.
