Choose Your 2014 Redskins Head Coach (Volume 2)

[The Goat]

I would prefer Briles (if he's hired) as an OC, with a defensive guru and someone familiar with the Redskins as HC, like G Williams. I think Briles could easily be overwhelmed, and besides what's he done to deserve an HC opportunity coming from college?

I agree with you. Too many people want to get rid of Shanahan and replace him with an unproven guy. You cant bring in someone like Briles unless you also have an extremely strong GM in place. We're talking so much about who the next HC will be, but obviously, the GM needs to in place first. Chris Russell thinks Allen will be promoted to Team President, and that he and Snyder will hire a GM, and theyll all pick a head coach.

Some say Snyder shouldnt be involved in the decision, but he obviously needs to be if its a college coach. Most of them have contracts which would have to be bought out. Right now, its likely Snyders going to have to buy out over 10MM in contracts from the current coaching staff... asking him to buy out another 10MM for college coaches might be a bit much.

The days of retreads and college coaches with no NFL experience are over. Shaw and O'Brien are the exception here with proven track records. This team someone like those 2 or some hungry assistant like Bevell, Bowles, Gruden, Whisenhunt.

Baylor didn't even have uniforms when Briles got there. He's made them a threat in the BCS for a few years now.

Also, add in the fact that Briles has done it with less than HALF the recruiting results of the other big schools in the country.

So he's taking players who are average standard and making a competitive football team and one of the top ones in the nation.

Allowing the diva quarterback to pick his old college coach is the definition of letting the inmates run the asylum.

Who said he's picking him? You have a link?

Just because it was his college coach? You read in to the blurred lines to much. Briles deserves his shot on his performance alone.

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.

You mean the same Chris Russell that said Daniel Snyder & Bruce Allen had interest in Art Briles based on his sources 5 weeks ago on the sports fix? That Chris Russell? The Chris Russell that said based on his sources the Redskins were going to sign Matt Flynn and were not interested in P.Manning? That Chris Russell? The same Chris Russell that thinks Jim Haslett is a defensive god and that Bill Cowher is going to suit up and ride to Ashburn in a pumpkin? That Chris Russsell?

Can't think of a name that carries less weight in regards to Redskins information than that Chris Russell...

I'll go back to watching the mayhem..

If briles comes here this is no longer the washingon redskins but the Washington Robert griffins. You don't let a stubborn arrogant young quarterback and his dad who lives vicariously through him bring in his college coach. What the hell kind of message does that send to the locker room. Atleast for 3 more years when rg3 is out of the league because he can't cut it as a pocket passer. Rg3 playing the way rg2 and rg3 want him to play is not sustainable. Kyle Shanahan tried to help him become a better pocket passer and he rejected the coaching. He's a diva and will ultimately proved to be a mistake that set the franchise back years.

Right now Lovie smith is the only available head coaching candidate that I think can actually do better than Shanahan here. I hope we can get him somehow.
