Brokenstriker Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Someone on the Redskins staff ... organizationally above the DC ... needs to make a public statement that specifically addresses in detail why they think that this is a good idea and especially why they think a DC whos D was particularly crappy in Detroit and who's team didn't win a single game one season can deliver anything better than that here. or ... I'll just go back to my initial reaction ... "What?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonSkins77 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I wonder if they was ready to announce the Joe Barry hire, but the 49ers promote Jim Tomsula thus bypassing Vic Fangio. That one of the clubs his currently speaking too is the Redskins? Couldn't hurt that when Haslett was thrown overboard Fangio was the number 1 target until being denied by San Fran. Can only live in hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooleyfan1993 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 thank GOD! but thats not to say that he won't be our DC within the next two weeks. hope we end up steering clear of him but if we don't end up hiring fangio, i could see us turning back to barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheItalianStallion Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 If Barry gets hired I'll give him a chance and hope he succeeds, but I have every right to be pessimistic about the chances of that happening. Yeah yeah, maybe he's improved since 2008, but other guys have actually shown that they can turn programs around before. That said, I still hope someone else gets hired.

Fred Jones Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Has anyone besides Ian reported this hire? Has anyone confirmed what Ian reported? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Has anyone besides Ian reported this hire? Has anyone confirmed what Ian reported? There has been a conspicuous silence since this came out. Our own TK pre-announced it and then we saw Ian's tweet (who knows maybe he lifted it from TK). Not a lot since and nothing from the Redskins except recently a few denials from some beat reporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdlives Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I think it's likely the Redskins were getting set to hire Barry but held when things in SF and Denver started up in hopes they might get a shot at Fangio. He was the first coach the sought permission to interview. I m hoping Redskins One is on its way to get Vic right now. Pure speculation. Edit: Or wishful thinking. Take your pick.

Braxford Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 What makes you think that the rest of the NFL is different than this? Nothing. I was just stating that I prefer the players from the Jetskins time than the coaches from the Bucskins time. I know that decision makers in the NFL frequently hire people they have worked with before, similar to almost every professional setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the first coach the sought permission to interview. I m hoping Redskins One is on its way to get Vic right now. Pure speculation. This is actually a logical assumption. If TK pre-announced it he had to have some knowledge. I am sure Vic was near the top of their list and when it became apparent, as you point out, he would be available, they pulled the plug. If true, or more specifically if Barry was going to be the hire and the Niners saved us, this is just plain sad. I was hoping this was just a beat reporter pulling the trigger prematurely. Instead of Grudes bringing in a guy that has no business being anything other than a position coach. Edit: To add, if true that they were going to actually hire Barry, Grudes just went down a notch in my book so to speak. A loss of respect.

SKINSFAN87 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 My as well get on the Barry train, sounds like he has been hired. I'm a little shocked by this hire, but at least they didn't promote Raheem morris to DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanut0862 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 So Fangio said he would not stay in San Fran if he or Shanahan were not hired as head coach. Mike was just fired by us so what makes anyone think Fangio would come here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadium-Armory Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Fangio probably feels jilted by being passed over in favor of his subordinate Tomsula. Perhaps he'll go somewhere in the NFC and seek some revenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike was just fired by us so what makes anyone think Fangio would come here? 1) McCloughan and Fangio are already on the same page for the kind of players he wants for his defense. They came onto an even worse team and made them powerhouses together. No reason they couldn't do it again. 2) Fangio would be a leading candidate for the HC position if Gruden was canned 3) If he turns around the Redskins, it would essentially solidify his legacy of being one of the GOAT defensive coordinators 4) Not really hard to show improvement succeeding a terrible DC like Haslett. If he does half-decent and continuous improvement, it would solidify his job security for a while. 5) We're rich **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Fangio not being the head coach for any team not the 49ers is probably not as big a deal to him as being passed over by someone under him for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKINSFAN87 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 hasnt been officially announced yet. slow down lol with enough reports coming out that he has, it might as well be official.

A Skinhead in Saints Land Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I think we'd get more than just a DC with Fangio. Say he signs on here and the defense improves, (don't see how that doesn't happen) and the offense is ineffective again. You fire Gruden and you promote Fangio to head coach. I actually like the idea of having a Head Coach with a defensive background. We haven't had one of those in ages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
