88Comrade2000 Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 This is the coach who changed nothing after Gruden was traded. He sure made it easy for the Bucs to crush his Raiders. Too high expectations of Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying thats an impeccible resume, but just like With Case vs Colt arguments. We have one who has done something in this league and one who hasn't. Even if its a situation where EVERYTHING went right for Calla, he still was able to take them there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if its a situation where EVERYTHING went right for Calla, he still was able to take them there. I get what you are saying but if we are to believe what all have said Callaghan has been running the run game all this time. Which BTW - doesn't that kind neuter the OC or/and the HC? So if he has been running the run game, what will be different? Do we really believe that Bill wanted to do something in the run game that last 6 yrs and Jay said, no, do it this way when Bill was supposed to own the running game? Did Bill hold back? I guess we will see tomorrow. Lot's of questions going into tomorrow. The biggest for the rest of the season is was Jay the real problem and was holding the team back at least to some extent or was he the glue that held a fractious team together to the small extent it was held together. I can't stand Dan S but there is one narrative we probably have to put to bed - If Dan were still meddling at a high level and was really chomping at the bit for Haskins to start, there is no way Case Keenum starts against Miami. If Dan was being adamant then whoever the interim coach is would have been told - the one decision that's been made for you is Haskins start. You can work from there. Or Haskins is so bad that even with that directive they convinced Dan to wait. I do not believe the later. I believe Haskins may be behind and struggled some but there is just too much talent to believe he just plain bad. I was a little disappointed to hear he has some diva in him and is maybe not studying as hard as at least I thought he would based on what he did in college. In fairness it may be he felt a bit spurned by Jay and with the right coach he will get reinvigorated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 I don't think they could have hired McVay as some suggest. But some have suggested that it bothers Dan -- don't know if that's a guess or that's what they heard. But if it does I wonder if Dan would hire a veteran coach in 2020 that ultimately would lead to O'Connell's departure? I am not swearing by O'Connell myself. I got no idea personally. But he certainly has some hype. https://cbssportsradio.radio.com/articles/mark-schlereth-blasts-redskins-owner-dan-snyder “It’s a mess, and their owner’s a mess,” Schlereth said on Taz & The Moose, referring to Dan Snyder. “This is crazy. Dan Snyder, in my opinion, has circumvented and emasculated every coach he’s ever hired. I don’t know why we expect someone to be successful in Washington as long as that guy continues to own the team.” The Redskins will likely miss the postseason for the 16th time in 20 years. They have not won a playoff game since January 2006. “Look at the staff that Mike Shanahan put together,” Schlereth said. “He had Kyle Shanahan, he had Sean McVay, he had Matt LaFleur, and a myriad of different other guys who are offensive coordinators and on a fast track to be head coaches. You can’t figure out your coaching staff is good? You can’t figure out the next young head coach that’s going to be dynamic?” Schlereth could. Snyder couldn’t. “The first time I met Sean McVay, he was 30 years old, I’m doing Rams games, and I walked out of that meeting going, ‘I’ve accomplished nothing in my life. That dude is the most dynamic dude I’ve ever met in my entire life,’” Schlereth recalled. “This is something I always tell my kids; there’s two types of people in the world: people who energize the room when they walk into it, and people who energize the room when they walk out of it. That dude walks into a room and he energizes that room. You are ready to run. You are ready to go play. He is a dynamic young coach, you had him in your organization, you had him on your staff, and you don’t even recognize it because you’re too busy doing whatever it is you do – which, I have no idea what you do.” https://sports.yahoo.com/the-sean-mc-vay-vacuum-haunts-the-washington-redskins-now-more-than-ever-044419676.html One NFL executive who has known Allen and Snyder for decades summed up the Redskins in cutting fashion Monday, stating: “As an owner, you have to know what you have. Dan never should have let McVay get out of the building and he probably never should have let Bruce stay.” You want to understand what the hell is wrong in Washington? That’s the entire conversation in a nutshell under Snyder. The Sean McVay vacuum. A departure that saw Snyder place a premium on keeping Allen in the fold for a stadium project that may never happen, while failing to see that McVay was a head coach who could win enough to actually get a stadium built. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2019/07/23/nfl-teams-hunt-next-sean-mcvay-redskins-may-have-one-kevin-oconnell/ As NFL teams hunt for the next Sean McVay, the Redskins may have one in Kevin O’Connell But at 34, O’Connell is on a career path that is eerily similar to that of a certain NFC champion coach in Los Angeles who has become the model for what nearly every NFL owner seems to suddenly crave: a fast-rising offensive mind in his early 30s so preternaturally clever that he will overwhelm others with a blend of genius and charm. And because O’Connell has quickly built a reputation for being a bright, innovative coach, climbing quickly to his coordinator role with the Redskins much the way McVay did in Washington a few years before, an obvious correlation is being made. “He’s the next Sean McVay,” tweeted Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith, whom O’Connell once coached in San Francisco.

In fairness it may be he felt a bit spurned by Jay and with the right coach he will get reinvigorated. Agree to an extent. The narrative of the beat guys has consistently been Dan wanted Haskins in the draft and yes he pushed it but won't dictate his playing time. Just about all of them have said Dan is patient with Haskins' development. Keim doubled down on that yesterday. Just about 100% of the beat-national reporters including Keim have said Dan wanted Haskins and multiple scouts (Kyle, too) in the FO disagreed. But Dan is playing ball 100% with Haskins' playing time. You got some national reporters flying crap against the wall that Dan in theory might want to interfere but those that cover the team have said Dan indeed interfered with the pick but isn't interfering with playing time. Heck Cerrato in a recent interview admitted that Dan likes to infuse himself in the draft but is typically a good soldier as for dictating playing time and when players play. He cited Sean Taylor as an example where Dan was anxious to see him but he deferred to Gregg as to when he started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinny21 Posted October 12, 2019 Share Posted October 12, 2019 Not that I expect a big difference, but regarding Bill and the run game... I wonder how much Gruden wanted to mesh his pass and run game (a lot is my impression) and if that lead to the run game being somewhat... handcuffed. Or maybe overly complicated? I don’t know, but I could see some basic changes leading to a bit more productivity. One obvious change is Bill not including Thompson in the run game as much as Gruden - ie. not caring so much about dynamism from the rb position.

One obvious change is Bill not including Thompson in the run game as much as Gruden - ie. not caring so much about dynamism from the rb position. Cooley among others talked about it. The gist of it as I understood. A. The run game was pretty much all Callahan. His scheme. He drew up the plays. B. There was a mismatch between the run game and the pass game at times especially with play action It sounded like Jay didn't like the odd arrangement. And there was some tension last year in particular with him and Callahan. I've seen both Callahan and Jay milling about the team hotel the few times when I stayed at the same place and have seen them interact with some here and there in the lobby ironically more so Callahan than Jay. I overheard Callahan among other things talk to Catalina's mom in the lobby. Jay from the sample I've seen comes off boisterous, outgoing. Callahan is business like, kind of stiff in the conversations I've witnessed. Granted small sample. I've seen Callahan interact with people once waiting for coffee at Starbucks. He seems very calm in his demeanor. I recall reading years ago that he was a yoga, guy. He kind of gives me the vibe about being a yoga type dude demeanor wise. I get he's hard nosed in practice but off the field comes off chill and stiff. A nice guy but without much charisma...that's my best description from my small sample. I could be wrong but that's my small take of his personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can say what they want about Jay - but his offense gets people open. But his offense is not just the passing game. He should not have someone else dictate the run plays and how they are executed. And BTW Callahan's run game has been **** since he got here. I know many get upset about all the 1st dn runs - but if they were picking up 4 to 6 yds no one would care. Now Callahan says he will focus on the run - first where was this focus before if that's what he owned? And next, we already run 65% + on first down, will he increase that? The more I hear it sounds like Callahan was undermining Jay. If so, then **** him - even more than now. Not been a big Callahan fan the last few years. Supposed to be this zen master at Oline and he has not done ****. And yes I have been saying this for more than two years now. Just being more aggressive since he is the HC now and it looks like he threw Jay under a bus to get the HC job himself. We should beat Miami today as they are probably the only team in the NFL that has less talent than we do. So everything will be working and the Jay haters will be all euphoric. That's fine. But we can;t play Miami every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Lombardi has his faults but he also makes good points in the mix among them show me a team that's run well by committee? The FO seems to be run with everyone having their moments here and there to get what they want but without an overarching vision. Looks like coaching to some degree ditto. It's not how to run a team IMO. It doesn't matter what we think of the decision makers. It's about having a normal structure. If people in the FO don't trust name that person in the FO or HC to make calls then just fire them and hire someone you do trust. If your head coach wants the O line coach out and doesn't like the arrangement with them orchestrating the run plays -- then you defer to the head coach. I'd think the same even if I thought Bill Callahan is the 2nd coming while Jay is the biggest moron HC in NFL history. The principals doesn't matter IMO. You need to run a team in a normal way. Doc Walker who actually is a homer relatively speaking talks about this stuff in a humorous way on air saying something to the degree about they've made it impossible to blame anyone there because whenever they talk about decisions made they refer to the "committee". So everybody who wants to be untouchable as to mistakes made can stay untouchable. If you noticed when Bruce was cornered in the press conference about why so little success in his 10 years -- he deflected off of himself by talking about Doug and Kyle -- suggesting either blame them or he knew that the press likes those people so they'd back off if he put them in the line of fire. But that's how things seem to roll there. But yeah the FO is warped enough. The fact that some of that spills in coaching shows how screwed up Dan's organization is. As Sheehan likes to joke, Wharton should do a study some time on Dan and how you can break a brand after 20 years through gross mismanagement. Racing to today, I do think its better to have ALL Callahan than part Callahan like we got before. But I'd feel that way about any coach ditto Jay when he was here. I want the unadulterated best version of whomever is running the team -- not a neutered version of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor am I that wrapped up in W's and L's. (The absolute pathetic crap that will emanate around here if we beat the Dolphins, then lose the following week as to 'how poor Miami are/ told yer this was no different et al' is a major reason why I've stayed out of the Stadium for so long. Folks ridiculous need to be proved right to faceless posters on an Internet message board.) What concerns me, whether Callahan is the HC next year or not, is him improving the football culture around here and putting out a disciplined, conditioned group that will at the very least give everything and play good, fundamental football that will, the more these practices are repeated day in, day out, ultimately lead to them executing better and being seriously competitive. And who'll be held accountable by him if they don't meet those basic standards every day. Something we've not had for a LONG time under his predecessor. Everything evolves from there and his veteran leadership, from everything he's done to press this week which is all we can go on, is pointing in the right direction to putting those vital building blocks in place as a real strong foundation for this young team to grow from, THAT'S what's really exciting me.
