Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - RI: Something to chew on (Mariucci speculation) (Update: Interview Wednesday)

I liked this out of JLCs article:
"One NFL GM, after studying the consecutive hires of Zorn and Blache said: "It all points to Mariucci. It's like you're starting a Washington branch of the West Coast family. Look at the coordinators. Then you've got Vinny who could put it together. That's viable. That's something I think you could sell."

Mooch would be a great hire I think, until now, I have been pretty shocked and upset with the move of letting Gregg Williams go...however, this also points to why Mooch could be the "mystery candidate":

"Two of Mariucci's former players also pointed out the similarities between the teams he had in San Fran and this Redskins team. Both have lots of veteran leadership and have a playoff pedigree, and, like Gibbs, he puts a lot of trust in his players. With the 49ers he ran a "Dirty Dozen" of 12 player representatives that met with him weekly and had a significant say in setting up routines, practices, chemistry issues, etc. Sounds an awful lot like Gibbs's Leadership Counsel right there (look at that Skins, I'm doing some homework for you. You can add this the whole "continuity" vibe should you unveil Mooch as coach someday)."

If this were something that Gibbs did, and maybe Gregg Williams was not high on, then maybe keeping Gregg would be messing up the continuity we have created, and Mooch would bring that all together.

My mind has been blow twice on sports, right now, and the Erik Bedard trade (as an O's fan, someone needs to get Angelos to sell, seriously) Also, I am preparing myself for season 4 of LOST, by finishing the previous season, I am on the last disc of the DVD series, and WOW...great writing.
