Hubbs Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 So, all signs are pointing to Mike Shanahan as our next head coach. It makes enough sense - he's the biggest name available, he's a West Coast guy, and Snyder's ready to dump money at his feet. But the rest of the initial coaching crop seems to have withered. Jon Gruden is apparently Stone Cold Lead Pipe Locked into his MNF gig. Mike Holmgren is in Cleveland. The Chin isn't interested. If one of the rumors about Shanny going elsewhere is true - maybe he's just using us to pump up his price, maybe Jerry Jones would push harder, maybe he's waiting to see if he can be reunited with his one true love in Chicago - then what exactly is the plan? Who do we line up for the next round of interviews? Russ Grimm? Jim Harbaugh? Is there an obvious coordinator out there who would fit the personnel we're keeping?

tshile Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 i honestly think Bruce Allen is going to go in a direction that surprises everyone. if he really wants to make his mark, if he really wants to show that it is a new day at redskins park, he will. if we go out and get shanahan - it will be business as usual, and I will expect another 5 years of mediocre seasons, and false hopes. offseasons full of big name signings, big money contracts, and post-seasons full of watching other teams compete while ours is at home doing the same as us. if he goes out and gets someone who wasn't on anyone's list, and gives that guy control, and works with him, then I'll at least know that snyder really isn't making decisions anymore. This may not end in a super bowl, but its got a hell of a better shot than anything that involves snyder making decisions. is shanahan better than zorn? of course. but i want someone new in here, not a retread. i'm, of course, no genious when it comes to FO decisions, i'm just a armchair-GM. but thats my opinion.

tshile Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 We went to that route with zorn you see how that turn out lol now wait a minute. you don't like zorn, you don't think he's doing a good job, and thats fine. but lets be real about what happened. Zorn was a QB coach, who was hired as an OC, and then promoted to HC because noone else wanted the job. Zorn was handicaped from the start. Most HC's come from coordinator positions - not a position specific position, and those that do normally get OC and DC's to help them out. Zorn was not allowed to make personell decisions, and there was no close relationship between him and the FO. Snyder and Ceratto picked players, and told zorn to make it work. Ceratto's famous last works 'We gave you a playoff roster'. Zorn never stood a chance - he didn't have the authority required to be an effective HC, he wasn't given a roster required to make the playoffs. Say what you want about zorn - but at least be fair in it. I don't care who you had hired, if it was a first time head coach it wasn't going to work. The successful first time coaches as of late have had a few things in common - they were allowed to take control of their team. Smith in atlanta was credited for completely changing Atlantas culture. Thats what is needed here, and zorn was never allowed to do that (don't know if he wanted to, but he couldn't have if he did). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSHRedskins3ATLBraves3 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Gregg Williams anyone? Leslie Frazier? Russ Grimm? Maybe even Cowher? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destructis Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I would love to see Russ Grimm but, my fear is that he won't work out or be given the time to turn things around. It could tarnish his reputation with the Skins. The board here can be pretty non forgiving at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallMeGreen Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 ...Zorn was a QB coach, who was hired as an OC, and then promoted to HC because no one else wanted the job... Fassel wanted the job--badly. So did Gregg Williams. We hear Spagnoulo turned it down, but despite the stains on the Redskins as an organization (which aren't undeserved), it's still only 1 of 32 HC jobs available in the NFL. I'm not even qualified for the job myself, but for a couple million I'd take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talk show host Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 There doesn't need to be a plan B. I have no sources of my own but I know people who do and it really is a done deal. There's nothing to worry about. Shanahan will be our next coach. We just have to wait these last two weeks out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudy165 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Gregg Williams or Grimm are the only two I'd want if we don't get Shanny. The Redskins franchise was built on running the **** ball, and all three of these men understand that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostofSparta Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Coulda sworn this was laid out last week. Irrelevant. You may have insider information that is completely reliable, but there are people on here who know a guy who knows a guy who's dating a chick whose cousin worked as a ticket-taker at 6 flags last summer. That's the kind of REAL insider-information that you can't find outside of the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abshir Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 I don't care who we get as long they are a hard nose take no bull**** coach. i am so tired of the whiny, apologetic 'tards we have had as of late. Sorry to say but that includes Joe Gibbs too. We need Bill Cowher or someone with the gonads to tell these spoiled brat players to either shape up or ship out. No more coach pull me from the game because I am tired see CP, fine how about you sit for the next however many games. No more, damn our qb just f'ed it up again, so we will continue to have him behind the center because something will happen see JC... we need a drill sargeant sit down now type of coach for those players who don't cut the mustard. ok I feel better now. sorry.
