StepyagameuP Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Redskins hired ex-Cowboys OC Bill Callahan as offensive line coach. The Redskins' offseason of upgrading continues. Per ESPN's Ed Werder, Callahan's three-year deal is "very lucrative." Callahan was humiliatingly stripped of play-calling duties in Dallas last season, but retained his "offensive coordinator" title even though he was limited to offensive line duties. Either way, he's one of the league's very best at coaching up linemen. He's an excellent addition to coach Jay Gruden's staff. http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/305973/washington-adds-bill-callahan-as-ol-coach https://twitter.com/Edwerderespn/status/555799216509829120 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo-toni Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Fantastic hire! Here's a case where I don’t care about the friends and family connection because he's supremely qualified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodriggo Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Wow, offseason champs 15 years in a row. Hire Fangio and set this thing off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 What I like is that in the very recent past he took a bunch of draft picks and coached them up into starters that formed a strong line that this year everyone was bragging about. We haven't had any linemen really emerge (Williams and mayyyyyybbbbeee Compton being exceptions). Worse, we haven't had anyone able to take snaps away from starters whose play ranged from average to terrible. That has to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evmiii Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 This is a very good hire. Maybe he can determine amongst our young OL guys if they are salvageable and fix them. He sure did well with the cowgirls line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfansarge Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Great OL Coach..now let's get some "big Ugly's " to go with him...HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Good hire, but we'll need to draft him some talent to coach up. Nobody can turn water into wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I'm good with this and looking for more good news down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 It's not very hard to coach up Tyron Smith and Zach Martin, though. Exactly. He may be a good OL coach but the Cowboys also drafted three OL in the 1st round, and OL are usually the safest picks that high. I don't expect Callahan to be able to turn bums like Luavao and Chester into studs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsFTW Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 So if we trade Gruden to Tampa after 2015 does that mean Callahan will get us to a Super Bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsFTW Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Yeah its great to get this dude, especially since it also takes away from the Pukes coaching staff as well and he brings Puke intel also I am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaRonDontLikeUgly Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 It's not very hard to coach up Tyron Smith and Zach Martin, though. If I remember correctly, Tyron Smith's scouting report coming into the draft basically said that he was insanely athletic with huge upside but his technique kind of sucked. Gotta credit Callahan for turning that potential into something great. Let's hope he can get similar production out of our guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
