Seabee1973 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Well, this article comes from La Canfora, who is only marginally more respectable at this point than is Florio. So, taking that into consideration, this next comment really doesn't matter much, but I'll make it anyway. La Canfora says that Slowik will be pegged for some role on the defense, he doesn't say anything about DC. Despite the fact that 99% of all the rumors/reports have been wrong, they are still taken as gospel by some. I think they should be taken for what they are--supposition. Also, regarding the silence with which the Vinny/Bruce exchange was made, I think the media is salty about it. The media seems rather quick to cry "conspiracy," so they must know how to run one. Figure this: They don't want to get made the fool of again, so they throw out all kinds of crazy garbage hoping that something sticks. Everyone believes the media reports, and starts nailing the team again for disrespecting Zorn, again. Just a thought. All it is is to drum up support for their articles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine him to follow Shanny in here in that role and Gray goes out with Blache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't he said this is his last coaching gig before retirement? I assume Gray would like to coach again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HigSkin Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 From my understanding you cant add asstitant head coach and call it a promotion even though they will be a coordinater. It has to be an actuall promotion Nope, assignment of Asst HC can be viewed as a promotion. Here's a good example of it.... http://www.windycitygridiron.com/2009/11/25/1173920/rules-on-hiring-nfl-coaches You can't hire one team's offensive coordinator to be your offensive coordinator. If the Bears wanted to steal away a team's offensive coordinator, then he could only be hired as Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Redskins want to land Zimmer as D coord but thats lateral move , so they would have to come up with a Asst Head Coach/ Def type thing, doesnt mean they will land him but his is on the list Good scoop (as always). I would be very happy with that move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewCliche21 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Why can't they make a goofy title for DeCosta and hire him as GM? With Allen still as "VP"? HailGreen28 for president, please. Exactly what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewCliche21 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I would be not-as-pissed with Gray as DC. Putting a position/unit coach in charge of the team is ridiculous and has worked how many times in this league? Run half of the team before you run all of it. If we have the Shanahan show + Gray at defensive coordinator, then I'll be all right. I don't understand why Shanahan thinks that he can decide on a defense. Wasn't that, you know, the reason that he's available at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph I guess you are our new Andyman. What ever happened to him anyway???? If/when Doug Williams comes to town, credit for that one totally goes to TK. He was easily the first person to bring up Williams' name. Even if/when Doug makes his triumphant return, I'm with others in saying that I truly hope they're smart enough to keep Morocco Brown in the organization. I like the guy and think he's got a bright future ahead of him. As far as Shanahan or whoever, my guess is that almost immediately after the season ends they'll make their move. Think of it as 12:01 the morning of free agency in their minds. Talked to Andyman earlier this season, who is happily enjoying retirement from messageboards. If you ask TK nicely though, maybe he'll put on the outfit for you one last time ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dadirtbags Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I care more about results on the field than players' opinions. The Redskins D players also loved George Edwards, former LB coach, and supported his move to D-coordinator in 2003. The squad went from 5th in the NFL to 25th, one of only two seasons in the last 10 years that the Redskins didn't have a top 10 defense.Under Slowik in 2008, the Broncos league rankings on D: Yards: 29th Points: 30th Takeaways: 32nd Those are awful results. I don't want Slowik as the DC. He can coach the secondary if he wants, as that was his earlier position specialty. However, I don't see our D as the problem. I'd rather try Gray out and see how his version of the scheme will be. He knows the personnel and had more turnovers than Gregg when he was in charge of Buffalo's D. I agree...and like I said...Dont know much about the guy...but I will say this...if Shanny gets hired as our HC...and Gray is asked to stay and be the skins DC...I would hope this decision is either Allens or Shannys...not Dannys Personally...if we get Shanny...or whoever for that matter...I hope Dan gives that person the power to put his own coaching staff in place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 For everyone complaining about Snyders poor ethics, how do you feel about Gray, Blache, and Brown interviewing for their HC's job or a job that presumes his dismissal?They way I see it, is that everyone in the organization knows he's done after the year and so does he. There are no hard feelings about it. I think everyone likes him as a person but they all understand he just wasn't ready to handle a HC position. I think its time for everyone on the board to move on and except whats going on. It's obvious that our organization has. That has to be it. I would hope Zorn was aware of what was going on, cuz that'd be a mess having coaches on your own staff interviewing for your job while you still have it.

Oldskool Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 You can't hire one team's offensive coordinator to be your offensive coordinator. If the Bears wanted to steal away a team's offensive coordinator, then he could only be hired as Assistant Head Coach/Offensive Coordinator. Which, If Shanahan comes here as HC, he'll probably end up doing with his son Kyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worstSeat Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Time to make the Rooney Rule into the Rooney Rule with Snyder Amendment that makes it so that you have to interview at least one out-of-house minority candidate. This is awful. Guess we don't have to worry about this guy changing the name from Redskins, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
