I seriously doubt his decision to not hire GW had anything to do with bounties - something we know he was doing here. In fact, that may have been one of the things dan actually liked about him - and yes that's exactly how little I think if DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OH i don't think he didnt hire him BECAUSE of bounty gate... my point was how severe the fallout, had it come out while he was our HC.

I actually like our scouting department. The last 2 drafts have been great. In fact, our "Director of College Scouting' is a guy named Kyle Smith. He's one of the top up and coming front office executives in the NFL. Will be a GM someday, most people who know a lot more about football than I do say it's a matter of when, not if. I think it would be a very big mistake to let him go. I'd make Schaeffer the GM and have Smith head up all player personnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Bruce gone - which should be the only real prerequisite here - it's very unlikely anyone from those two organizations gets a look. But why put any limitations? This is exactly what has been wrong - Dan hires people then forces others on them. Let the new GM and HC pick whoever they want to. 3. He must fire everyone in strength & conditioning and nutrition and hire people with actual qualifications. Why? This continues to make absolutely no sense what so ever. It is known the Redskins have some of the worst facilities in the league. That's on Dan. And Bruce continues to bring people back and sign new people with injury histories. How is this on the strength and conditioning coaches? They are given total **** to work with so guess what, it turns into total ****. And yes, some of it is just bad luck - the broken legs for instance. But it's mostly keeping and signing guys with injury history. Guess what, they get injured. 4. He should be allowed to find new blood in the scouting dept. Getting old watching a bunch of WRs who can't make 6'1 tippy-toeing... I don't completely disagree about getting new scouting talent. However, the reason you state is inaccurate: Mo Harris - 6'3" Josh D - 6' 4" - Micheal Floyd - 6' 3', Jehu Chesson - 6' 3". So you are about 3 yrs too late for this statement when the team had Garcon, Jackson, and Crowder - which BTW almost all slot WRs are shorter with quickness. The new HC needs to be whoever the new GM picks. And they together need to build a roster with some strategy. My view is and has been, the way Bruce builds a roster has more to do with who he can get for a bargain than having a strategy - a player type that makes a team. I am not a fan of Shanny - but even though he was not allowed to have full roster control, you could see his approach - like getting smaller but more agile Oline for his zone blocking. And getting the type of RBs he wanted. Then with Scot, you could see the same thing. he likes tough guys that love football. He was willing to overlook some talent deficiencies if they showed more heart and strength of character. But of course Bruce blocked him at least to some extent - hence the whole falling out. Bruce just signs guys to contracts he likes. Forget how they fit in the locker room or with the coaches. The root of our issues lie with Dan and Bruce. Unfortunately, Dan will not remove himself, but maybe by removing Bruce Dan gets lucky and hires the right GM. I seriously doubt it can’t be any worse than bruce the douche.

Dont force a system on players that don't fit. It's one thing to be building a roster to fit a scheme and mentality, but it's another thing to put a scheme in place and fail to get the best out of your players. You referenced Shanny... one thing I HAVE to give him credit for was the offense we ran with RG3 behind center and getting the most out of what we had. I want someone who calls a game based on players and matchups, not based on the 'scheme.' Does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches often seem to be just one or the other -- at least profile wise, he seems to be both. Hopefully Garrett keeps his job otherwise I'd presume Richard is next in line.

httrMP Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 The Kris Richard idea intrigues me. If not just for his role in developing Seattle's Legion of Boom, taking him away from another NFC East team puts him at the top of my wish list. I Don't care if he's brought in as the HC or DC but he seems like the kind of coach this team needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carex Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 a question connected to this but not directly about it. Do teams that fire coaches(and GMs) tend to sign guys to futures contracts at the end of the season still or do they wait.

Yes, they are ON the up trend, and they look to be doing things the right way, thus far. There is a huge difference between trending and turned the corner. As a Redskins fan you of all people should be able to see the difference. Call me when they win something of significance. Until then they have not turned any corners, they are just a few more games than they used to. 2 hours ago, skins island connection said: As for the other items: 1.

Whoever the new GM/HC is should hire the assistants who are best qualified. Hiring nephews, cousins and other relatives based only on relation takes away possible quality personnel from that position. I cannot disagree with this more. Most hiring in the NFL is done based on previous relationships. Some of you act like a guy gets a HC job and then hires an entire staff of people they never knew before. Many assistants are hired because they have a previous working relationship with the HC. I want whoever coming in to pick who they think is best - no qualifiers, no forced people on the HC, period. Also, many coaches have family in some lower positions. Would you have had a problem with Wes and Wade Phillips being here? If no, then you made my point. NO QUALIFIERS!

And yes, I have taken the time to go through the teams S&C staff. The difference is you have a problem with it and i do not. Until Bruce signs people without injury histories and Dan fixes the club house, there are way too many variables to blame the staff. If they fix both those things and still have an injury problem, then Ok let's look at the staff. BTW: Injuries are actually way up across the NFL. I subscribe to Man Games Lost. It's a web site that tracks and plots missed starter days due to injury and impact of those injuries. And the total number of injuries has steadily increased since the last CBA. I think the 3rd variable not talked about much is the CBA and all the new practice rules. Yea, some teams seem to avoid it. But not all of them. I don't have the time now, but I may do a break down of injuries by team over time. I did this once and it was telling. For example, the Redskins last yer I believe finished with morer than 300 lost starter games due to injury. Any year before 2016, that would have been a run away worse in the NFL. Last year i think it was 4th. 2 hours ago, skins island connection said: 4. He should be allowed to find new blood in the scouting dept.
