Get it straight. It's not 20 years of losing ... It's 20 years of mind numbing mediocrity.

Have some pride.

I don't understand why people are so attached to former players of the Skins. AKA: Russ Grimm.

What does knowing our history have to do with being a good coach? Shit I know our history.

It's because he was a great player in our glory days. most people will assume he will try to build the team exactly how those great teams he was on was built.
The same goes for Todd Bowles who I would like to see back in DC.

With that said, it's just not ex redskins players. No one wants to see Tre Johnson or Tydus Winans as the redskins next coach.

Little known fact: Tydus Winans' wife is a princess in the Royal Cambodian Family and his father-in-law (deceased) was a former Commander in Chief of the Cambodian Royal Air Force and Prince.

Russ Grimm is a proven developer of O-line talent. He has created two strong line that went to the Super Bowl (Steelers and Cardinals). He also developed the Jon Jansen and Chris Samuels. Russ would fix the O-Line.

I would love Bowles and said previously he is my pick but I don't think he has enough experience as a coordinator to jump into a HC job.


My pick for the moment would be Lovie Smith or Shaw.

Lovie has a proven track record and winning record.
Shaw has extensive NFL experience and proven college HC experience.

Mike Shanahan is averaging more than a million dollars per win.


Ouch.

I think what Gruden's doing with Dalton more falls under the umbrella of managing a quarterback rather than developing him -- you'd rather have the QB developer -- but either is a better approach than what we have going on here.

Jeff Tedford has developed QB's
Here is a video of him reviewing throwing motions

Unfortunately as a Cal fan, jeff knows no defense.

It irritates me the best HC prospects are likely to prefer Houston and other franchises before DC. Dan will pay top dollar and we have a franchise QB. We have a lot to offer as a franchise. What the deuce??

More pressure here, bigger market, and as we've seen the potential for crazy ass drama.

No doubt on all of those things Matty but when you think about nfl HC personalities...very high self confidence to outright overconfidence, big personalities, swagger...you'd think a lot of guys would relish the challenge and see the pot of gold on the other side.

And we have talent. I don't care what so many fans say, this team has legit talent at key positions. QB, RB, fb, LT, TE, and a solid wr on offense. And most of the defense is in place IMO. You give a guy like Lovie smith or Gregg Williams this defense (along with a few $ to fill in gaps) and it will be above average next year.

As to the retread vs new HC debate, seems like most successful HCs have needed some practice. Belichick was a retread in New England for instance. I'm not against a new HC coming from college or coordinator in the NFL. Am saying you want high football intelligence and the ability to lead/motivate players, those are the keys. If it's a guy who's had some HC experience, maybe in a subpar situation, I take him over the newbie. Just me.
