He is a Redskins HOF, he can develop players in our weakest position (Oline). Hue Jackson, Ken Whisenhunt or Greg Knapp as OC and Ken Norton Jr. as DC.

Norton is a disciple of Pete Carroll, working 9 years under him and gaining the title of assistant HC defense. With Norton on board, I would like them to retain R.Morris. Knapp working RG3 will help him make that leap forward.

As a HC, in the sense of being a leader of the organization, you won't find many better choices than Shaw.

I think Grimm's window has likely passed

Don't sleep on Hue Jackson as a possible staff addition

Whisenhunt is an intriguing name

Whisenhunt as HC, maybe he can get Russ back in the fold as oline/ assistant HC. I think coming back to the Redskins would hold weight as well. Jackson and Knapp on staff as QB and Receivers coach this team would be very strong coaching wise.

What do you like about Steve Sarkisian? Reading his profile, nothing extremely great jumps out at me.

His name is mentioned all over as a bright offensive mind....

He turned the Huskies program around.

But I was just saying his name to add it to the conversation

I chose Briles because if RG3 is our franchise QB then this is why I want Briles:

He doesn't pick a QB for his system, he builds the system around what the QB can do. Plus I read somewhere that his fast paced offense is technically faster then what Chip Kelly does.

Baylor coach Art Briles builds his offense around each quarterback - ESPN

Is there a playbook?

Quote:

"When I was at Houston, the first thing everybody wanted was the playbook," said Briles, who coached the Cougars from 2003 to '07. "A guy's not going to read or study it. Kids play video games, so we show them the plays on video. Everything is on an iPad, and we label it and number them. A playbook is something we don't do.

"I'm a visual learner, and people learn differently. If you can see something, you remember it. If you read it and try to interpret it, it's a little different. We do a lot of repetition on the field so guys can learn it."

How the hell do you stop Baylor? Part I: What are they doing? - Football Study Hall

Chris Brown on how Art Briles's potent offense has made Baylor a national title contender - Grantland

I was a proponent for Gruden but we picked up Shanahan. I'm ready for a fast paced offense. I'm ready for an offense that can score in less then a min if need be. I'm looking for a coach that can run a 2 min drill if need be.

Honestly, since we have MS I'd prefer we just keep him and fix whats broken. Think about this for a moment....

RG3's numbers (stats) are right there with Peyton Manning and other QB's leading their teams to victories. Except RG3 is on a losing team. Most of us fans were concerned about the team not breaking 20 points per game. Two years in a row we have done that.

I'd look for a better DC and can Haslett. and do something about special teams.

Ultimately I'd prefer that as well.

SmootSmack,

I understand the natural progression for the General Manager position would be to elevate the Director of Pro Personnel. Do you have any opinions on Morocco Brown? Why you think this would or would not be a good move for the 'skins?

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

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
