justice98 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 How Jim Haslett remains employed is beyond belief! Unless the story is true about Haslet not having any say in the defense under Shanahan. He potentially was damaging his career then by choosing to remain under those circumstances. Cuz if they hadn't gotten a Haslett-friendly guy and he got canned, his Redskins tenure would stick out like a sore thumb. He got lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goskins10 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I am not seeing conspiracy either. I just hope they just didn't hire their buddy thinking that he is the right guy for the job and that their judgement is not clouded because he is their buddy. I hear what you are saying, but my litmus is he was a legitimate candidate for several other openings. It's not like they hired someone no one was even sniffing at just because they knew him. Again, he is a legitimate candidate by any reasonable measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins Wingman Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 It is shocking people would hire people they know and have a comfort level with. like hiring your son? we all saw how that worked. problem is, if it doesnt pan out, its too awkward to fire your friends/family. hire the most qualified person not people your are comfortable with.

justice98 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 This is my concern. It appears as though Gruden may have been told who his coordinators were going to be. At least on the offensive side of the ball. I was under the impression that Gruden and McVay are familiar with each other. That Gruden actually wanted McVay to come to Cincinnati at one point.

Commander PK Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000311077/article/jay-gruden-washington-redskins-finalize-deal NFL.com is still reporting Hue Jackson is still a candidate to run the offense. Rapoport also was told that Raheem Morris is being eyed as defensive coordinator while Hue Jackson is a candidate to run the offense. Morris, Washington's defensive backs coach over the past two seasons, was kept around after Shanahan's dismissal for a reason, according to Rapoport.

Burgold Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Well, what I hoped for was a young guy hoping to make his name. Check. A guy who if he was a coordinator led the opposite unit of his HC. That way we would have a better idea if it was him or the boss. Check. I wanted a college guy or a coordinator who was never an nfl HC before. Check. So, a lot if my boxes were checked. Will not be happy about keeping Haslett and Morris though. Mind you, it is good for a rookie HC to have a grizzled coach on his staff, I guess. Not really upset that Allen chose a guy he knew. That's pretty much how the NFL works and just maybe the insight is to our advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptChaos86 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Don't really know how I feel about this. Didn't care much for his playcalling in Cincinnati. But we shall see I guess. And I may be in the minority on this but I like Haslett, honestly he hasnt been given a whole lot to work with. Get him some better players, especially in the secondary and let's see what he can do.

Unless the story is true about Haslet not having any say in the defense under Shanahan. I think that is becoming pretty clear. We already fired the defensive coordinator: Mike Shanahan.

Skinsinparadise Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Jeff Darlington @JeffDarlington9 Jan For last 9 days, there literally has been no question in my mind that Jay Gruden would be coach of Redskins.

Fat Stupid Loser Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 The report seems to be that Haslett and Raheem would remain on staff and work under Gruden. If that is the case, **** I told you guys Haz was not going anywhere, although I did predict he would be the HC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma There Goes That Man Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 For the record I'm not a Haslett guy either. But the fact that he was retained by Bruce Allen tells me there is a lot more to the story than "why doesn't his CBs play more press coverage?" Now, could it be the wrong decision? Yes. We will see. It is Bruce's decision to make and he is owning this. I will guarantee you though that Hasletts success will be determined by Scott Campbell and Morocco Brown. Also, look on the bright side. If Snyder was running things he would fire Haslett to placate the fanbase. This is a clear sign that things are different. In the meantime, all of you need to quit whining about Haslett. As a Haslett whiner myself, that was pretty well said... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
