Nice heads up SFREDSKIN!!! I forgot about him. He was pretty much off the radar. I knew there had to be a method to the madness.[/quote]

If they do want him that means we will be waiting until at least February 5th to get our DC. That's a lot more time to get ourselves all worried.

Not really worried, just puzzled why they didn't jump on Bradley or Petine. The sooner we hire a guy the more time we have to evaluate our targets' talent.

Re: The coordinators
 

Damn, I'll be really pissed if it's Raheem Morris. He doesn't have a great history of success or anything. He was passed over for this position for Joe Barry, and not surprisingly because we had just had 4 crappy years of secondary play under him. Promote Olividatti, who's apparently been impressive enough to keep around for 13 seasons while guys like Morris have been sent packing.

I don't get it really, I have heard good things about Olivadotti for years, But he doesn't seem to be interviewed ever for coordinator positions. Maybe he's just a really good position coach?

Re: The coordinators
 

Welp, now we can say they screwed up the search, smh

Redskins to promote Greg Manusky to defensive coordinator, sources tell me and @RapSheet. This will be his fourth stint as a DC.

Re: The coordinators
 

Enough with the due diligence.....It should be either Manasky, Pettine, or Thurman....they are treating this like it's a head coaching position in question.

Re: The coordinators
 

Could it be because we have not given Gruden an extension? Who would want to come in and then next yr Gruden is canned and the new coach cleans house again.

Re: The coordinators
 

One word........meh

Re: The coordinators
 

I don't want to be the next Solidsnake, aka joining the doom-and-gloom bandwagon. I know we have yet to see how this offseason will play out, and he might be a good coordinator if we get a solid talent upgrade. But if he's the same coach who got bounced at three other stops...

then this will be Gruden's downfall. 0 for 2 in a search for a good defensive coordinator when there were clearly better candidates available. Honestly hope I'm wrong on this, I would love to eat some crow.

Re: The coordinators
 

Not sure I can put this on Gruden. There are things going on that are out of his control that are probably keeping other, better candidates from wanting to be here. The ONLY bright spot about this team last season was the offense, and now we have a new OC, and maybe Colt McCoy as the QB since the front office and Danny boy can't seem to decide if Kirk is worth a big contract. Top that off with the lack of talent on the defensive side...it's just not an appealing job. They kept Manusky on in the first place for this very reason. Just imagine if they had fired everybody on the defensive staff. We would truly be scraping the bottom of the barrel. Hopefully Greg can turn this thing around defensively. They'll be middle of the pack at best though if they don't figure out how to get their heads out of their asses with the QB situation though.

Re: The coordinators
 

Oh, and when I say I can't put this on Gruden...I should say that if he had hired a more competent D Coordinator two years ago we probably would be playing today rather than hiring Greg Manusky, and wondering who our QB will be next year.

Re: The coordinators
 

Talent > coaching

Until we upgrade the talent I don't care who the coach is

Re: The coordinators
 

I must be the only one that likes this hire, I love his aggressiveness, intensity, leadership and passion. Haslett and Barry lacked those traits.
