TLusby Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Will Al Saunders consider working for Al davis this offseason as the HC? I believe he interviewed last year and was not hired as Art Shell was hired and now fired. Would this hurt or help the Redskins? I believe Gibbs would take over the play calling and keep the system as is and modify it slightly. If he took play calling back he might consider hiring a GM to help him on the front office side. Just some thoughts! Continuity might be better as Al's offense is playing better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teller Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I think your last sentence hits it right on the head, continuity IS the key, IMO. We all know Kurt Warner won a Super Bowl in this offense. He said it takes a full year to learn. We also know what their offense, and the Chiefs offense, looked like after they learned it. So, while it's foolish to do so, I'm getting my hopes up for big things from this team next year. If Saunders leaves, presumably we'll have to take the time to re-learn Gibbs' offense. While that might not be as bad as learning something new altogether, it's bad enough. Rather than perfecting timing and technique, we'll be back to learning plays again. So even though I think Gibbs' offense can still work in this league, I think we need to stick with what we've got. As far as the Raiders, I could care less who they get. I've hated those SOBs since Marcus Allen kicked our ***. Just as long as it's not Saunders, I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirtyfive2seven Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I'm torn on this whole situation. I don't like Al Saunders and I was all in favor of how the offense was run under Joe Gibbs. I think the TEAM, more importantly, would be in favor or JG running the show. Then again, maybe we should wait and see what AS is capable of. He has a rookie QB and a backup running back. He was handcuffed with Brunell to start the season and CP wasn't healthy. That said, maybe next year we will start to see some strides. The team will have a good half year under their belt.

themurf Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 People very close to Al Saunders told him one year ago that the Oakland job was a no-win situation. Nothing has changed, so why would he say yes this time around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingtar Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Oakland is the junkyard of the coaching world. It is where coaches go to die. I doubt he takes the job. My understanding is that he doesn't wish to be a Head Coach anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Holmes Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 The theory is that the offense takes a year to get going. In my opinion, this orginisation made a lot of mistakes this season. I still think our line can run block as effectively as any in the league, and this is our strength. Lets stick with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedskinzOwnU Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Art Shell has to be fired first. Adam Shefter can pump up his information until the cows come home, but I'll believe it when I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blade Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Saunders is not going anywhere. Agreed. Working for Al Davis would be like a doctor letting the patient tell him how to treat his illness because he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Plus, Saunders would be taking a pay-cut to take the Oakland job. No chance he goes to Oakland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyriggins Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 hope Saunders doesnt go anywhere. Although if Al was to become head coach for the Redskins after gibbs retire I dont know that Al Davis is any worst than Synder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevinklein Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 He better stay here. We're just now beginning to grasp his offense, and he's beginning to grasp what his offense should be.

Nothing has changed, so why would he say yes this time around? Agreed. The Rayduhs are one of, if not the worst run teams in the league. Working for Davis (assuming his dusty butt manages to survive yet another year) would make working for Snyder look like a vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbuzz1962 Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 NOPE. Won't happen. Davis is at the point in his life where he will soon turn the team over to someone in hiw family. . Even then, no one could outbid Dan for the position. I think Saunders is the kind of coach who wants to build on something he has started. As you can see, it is a difficult offense to implement, and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
