Choose Your 2014 Redskins Head Coach

[cdskins26]

Willing to give shanny the last year of his contract to try and turn this around, and work with finally having a little cap room, but if it takes more than 5 years to overhaul an NFL roster the coach isn't good enough. Voted Roman for HC but getting Art Briles at OC would be my #1 priority. Would help griffin to have him but I'm not sure he's ready to be an nfl head coach

Thing is, Im pretty sure Briles not taking a OC job from a HC position where he's excelling. The move would be for a HC job.

Roman not looking too hot this year.Not at all

Seems to me, I have read some of the same complaints about G. Roman this year as many are making about K. Shanahan.

Why'd you do that?

Most believe he will become Team President, handle a lot of the business stuff, not least of which getting a new stadium.

When your QB is sophmore slumping, the seat can get a little hot

Honestly I don't know. He seems good and highly regarded, but I really don't know how good he truly would be.

in Roman's defense CK is not what many ppl (JAWS) thought he was

Mike Shanahan.

Let Kyle walk, and Jim.

David Shaw is a one trick pony...his offensive play calling is unimaginative and when you couple that with an atrocious defense you have a disaster. You bring in David Shaw and watch us give up the most pts and score the least pts in NFL history.

Been wondering about this for a long time actually. Seems like the assumption is a college HC automatically gets a pro HC gig, but I don't see the logic. It's a huge step and whole new world in pro football. Going from college HC to pro OC/DC seems more reasonable to me.

SmootSmack, what's your take on the college to pro transition?

The question is: Will Dan Snyder demand that Mike Shanahan make sweeping coaching changes in order to stay on as HC for another season without a contract extension?

If so, Mike might just refuse to do so and then it would be over for Mike.

Surely, if the team continues to lose, Kyle Shanahan will see the writing on the wall and, seeing it, he might be inclined to make it easy on his father by finding a graceful way to move on.

The current situation with the Skins is why I've never endorsed the idea of father and son coaching on the same NFL team. It messes with their personal/family relationship.

At a minimum, Haslett, the dude who coaches ST, the QB coach, and the WR coach need to go.

I think the assumption is Mike (control freak) won't allow this to happen. Everything has to be on his terms, period. And while he may show Haslett the door he'll still want the final say on the new DC and our scheme, which has proven to be a fucking disaster under Mike as it was for so long in Denver.

But the bigger issue is Kyle, and unless Kyle gets a great gig somewhere else Mike won't send him packing. Do you honestly believe Kyle will land that gig? I can't imagine it. Not at all. His play-calling has been abysmal save for a brief stint last season when the RO had defenses on their heels. Defenses are now verbalizing how easy Kyle is to predict, but frankly any two-bit football fan (me, for example) has seen this for years. Kyle doesn't deserve to be in pro football, though with the legacy name and connections he'll likely get OC gigs, albeit in crap markets/teams, for years to come.

The bottom line is Mike's decisions have held this team back one way or another. His choice to blow up the defense and start over with a DC who doesn't know the 3-4. His choice to let Kyle build the offensive scheme. How do you punish other people for Mike's decisions and expect the team to follow him?

I voted for Shanahan. Mainly because I want to give him the opportunity to have a full offseason with RG3 and a return from cap purg. Not that I don't see the risks involved though.

I know it wont happen, but this thread is about what I WANT to happen.

Sadly, it wont.

Thanks SS for starting this up and putting the poll in there.
