I would be shocked if we dont hear by the time training camp roles around there are no concrete plans for upgrading the facility or plans for a whole new facility. At the very least Im expecting major equipment upgrades without spending the money on the actual structures due to future new facility construction. No way Harris etc realistically feel they can bring in quality folks without at least presenting plans for major upgrades. That report about the facilities last year was embarrassing, cant see this group standing pat.

I didn't know a lot about Quinn until the last couple of weeks, I admittedly was pulled in to the Ben Johnson love fest. The more I have digested what Quinn appears to be about, the more I feel we made the right choice. BJ may be a very good OC but I don't think he would have brought the same passion, connection with staff, coaches and players that Quinn appears to have. Quinn will have the attention of everyone when he walks into a room, he will make guys want to buy in and play hard. Its obvious how badly he wanted this position, its obvious the amount of work he put into readying himself for this job and that's something he has been preparing for for years now, not just this hiring cycle. The above doesn't even touch on anything to do with the Xs and Os but I its also obvious he has learnt from his past mistakes as a head coach. Something guys with no HC experience will know nothing about. His past experience in this particular case with an all new ownership group and rookie GM seems invaluable. Excited to see if this actually works out, much more comfortable with Quinn than the unknows of a first time HC, especially in this environment.

Understanding that all teams play the draft game close to the vest but I wonder if we will be talking to Chicago to see what their intentions are? Seems this front office is already well respected and other teams will be more open about their intention is in this case. If Chicago is hell bent on one of the top three they may make their position clear before the draft. Snyder and co burned way too many bridges to ever get that kind of trust/cooperation from other teams.

I still don't even see Quinn on the Commanders web site. It's been mentioned that perhaps the team is waiting to get all its ducks n a row with hirings and firings before going public. Would actually be a nice change of pace to come out prepared over the last regime. This group is certainly tight lipped.
