I never weighed in on this before, but I think it is worth bringing back up.

I'm a fan of extending him, sooner rather than later. I think the guy is just a winner. In 13 seasons as a head coach, he's only had one losing season. That was his first with the Redskins, with RGIII still at the helm and all the drama that was going on with this team. Says a lot about him even taking the job really.

If we can get Kirk signed, hire a competent D coordinator that gets some talent - then results, and keep the offense clicking, I see no reason not to extend him. We'll have to see how the next few weeks /months play out and then how they start the season, but if they are better than .500 at the halfway point of next season (5-3 or better), I think you have to start drawing up the paperwork.
