If Briles is another Head Coach>GM no thanks, we have had that since Snyder took over, where does that lead?

I think the situation of an "offensive guru" rookie coach matched with a top notch, nfl experienced DC has been mentioned before by mulitple posters here. I think its a possibility likely to be explored by Bruce and other in the FO. I could def see something like this happening, I dont know if Briles is that offensive guru though...

So, I guess any player who's played football for a college coach isn't allowed to be united with a college coach because it's his say? You really think Snyder is going to allow RG3 who is on the bench right now make a 40 million dollar decision for him?

Let's be real.

Briles comes in.. We win football games. You won't hear anything about how RG3 picked his coach. Just saying.

I still can't believe that people believe all the leaks that Shanahan has put out there on RG3 and Snyder to protect himself. lol

RG3 a Diva? You try doing a interview process every Weds, and camera's following you around 24/7. I'm sure some of your mistakes will be BLOWN out of the water.

Rg2 has been lobbying for the guy.... You think he's done that without rg3s blessing? Are you that naive? Either way, it doesn't matter - Chris's Russell said that based in his sources, Snyder and Allen have no interest in Briles. Thank goodness for that.

Gruden: He's a small town guy and I worry how he would handle DC (fans and media)

Briles: I don't know. I don't like that he doesn't have any NFL experience at all. It's a big risk I think that I'm too timid to take a chance on

Shaw: Spoke to him end of last week, he reiterated he doesn't want to leave for the NFL

Whisenhunt: Very solid coach, can he work with RG3's skill set? I don't know

GWilliams: Could very easily see him returning, but as a DC

Lovie: Don't see it happening

Grimm: Don't see that either

Per Obrien and patience for him, I think all of Redskins nation from owner to majority of fans have shown patience the last four years AND it will continue as long as we see competence on game day.

I like that Gruden is a small town guy, maybe it's perfect in that he's NOT looking for the limelight. Keep his head down and focus on the team.

Why is Lovie not happening? It irks me because I see Lovie as the perfect fit assuming we have a great OC, which you need anyway. His players always give 100% on the field and he also has that no nonsense factor. Keeps his head down and focuses on the team. Doesn't conjure up bullshit for the media. In many ways he's the opposite of Shanahan. Lovie is a high character guy IMO and will win a Lombardi one day. Just a great fit for DC and RG IMO. I'm pissed there's no interest and wanna know who's to blame?

Dream Team:

GM: A qualified GM

HC: Lovie Smith

OC: Rick Dennsion
OC/QBs: Phillip Montgomery

Lovie is one of the coaches that has the cache to pass on a HC job and IF Dungy doesn't like the Redskins situation Lovie could possibly feel the same way. who knows? just connecting dots

I'm mildly concerned about if/how his offense will translate but maybe GTripp or someone can speak to that..

I don't think it would look that similar to what Baylor's offense looks like right now. I think he'd put more emphasis on protecting the QB and emphasize the TE more. But the unique things that Briles brings are that he lines up his receivers really wide and tries to get safeties trying to play the football over their shoulder...that will work wonders in the NFL.

Baylor does do some zone running, but the blocking would be more man-based than it has been since 2007. I think for the game he plays where he tries to reduce the number of players in the box, man blocking works better for that kind of offense. And I'm a zone blocking proponent.

No defense in the NFL is prepared to defend the offense Briles runs. You would need to start drafting cover safeties in bulk, and that takes years to adjust to. Plus, once teams start to get cover first safeties, Briles would adjust to that.

Obviously I'm biased in favor of the Skins but I still objectively think DC is the franchise with the most potential that will also be looking for a new HC, with Detroit as a possible tie.

Houston doesn't have a QB, and Lovie should know the importance of that simple fact given he'd have a ring, maye two, if he had a QB instead of Rex in Chicago.

We've got the QB, two RBs featuring different but both impressive skill sets, TEs, a breakout WR and franchise LT. We need a few olineman and another legit wr the offense is set. I think Lovie would make the current defensive personnel top ten. Add a standout safety and depth at corner and LB and we're set.

Detroit is in all sorts of contract trouble. I think that's the worst job. Except Oakland.

Tennessee and Washington are about in the same spot.

I'd rank the eight jobs likely to be open from worst to best:

-Oakland
-Detroit
-Washington
-Tennessee
-Houston
-New York Jets
-Minnesota
-Tampa Bay
-New York Giants

It won't be opened if Coughlin wants to come back.

One of these years, Belichick is going to step down. And in true Pats fashion, you won't hear any rumblings until it's done.

Oakland has high picks and $$$ so they have a chance to really get better
