Just saying that Brown made the call and recommended O'Connell to the FO as a up-and-coming talent on the offensive side of the ball. The owner likes Brown. Gruden never wanted to hire an OC (thought he could handle HC and OC duties all on his own, never even utilized Cavanaugh's strengths in the latter capacity). Bringing O'Connell on staff was a precursor to his becoming OC; it's why Cavanaugh was later reassigned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKskins Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Rivera played on the 1985 Bears. The best Defense in history. They were coached by Ditka. I cannot possibly begin to imagine where Ron got his leadership style from.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former President Obama is tiny tiny part owner. 3. Team name changed to Washington Democrats. Just a little humor for everyone..... Nah... Gonna name them...

Let the HC choose his own people, including his OC. No idea who the GM will be, but if it's Morocco Brown, there's a greater chance that O'Connell remains. He's the reason O'Connell ended up in Ashburn in the first place, despite the fact that Gruden didn't want to bring him aboard. I would much rather see Jim Caldwell than O’Connell. Callahan as o line coach is the only guy I would keep. Edit. Just googled it. Didn’t realize Caldwell was on staff with the Dolphins. I thought he was taking the year off for health reasons.

If I could only keep one I'd keep Ike Hilliard. He did a hell of a job with our rookie receivers. They all improved so much and were a viable NFL force by the time Haskins was able to put a game together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caldwell is solid gold, in my book!! What that man was able to do in Detroit was nothing short of miraculous, considering what he had to work with (both on the field and in that FO. And he knows how to develop QBs. Yeah, he did take the year off, before the season even started. He wanted no part of what was definitely a tanking operation early on. He's "healthy" and ready to roll now, so maybe the Dolphins will release him from his contract. He had an Asst HC title, so the only upgrade would be Associate HC or HC; we'll see.

celticsalmon Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 People are going nuts over Riverboat but it's all speculation until and if he inks a contract. Fans and Media alike are falling into Snyder's brilliant marketing scheme to excite everyone gloss over the fact that Snyder is deeply embedded in the day-to-day at Redskins Park.

Gibbs828791 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Coaches, front office, and players have bad seasons what we have lacked here is someone we could defend and be proud of during the bad times. we have been so unprofessional many of us stopped openly supporting the skins because it represented Danny, Vinny, Bruce, etc...after watching the farewell presser we may have just found that guy we can root for through thick and thin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice_of_Reason Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 There haven’t been any announcements of assistant coach firings yet have there? I don't think they officially have to “fire” Callahan or Manusky. I believe Manusky was in the last year of his contract, and Callahan’s interim HC contract also ran out. I think same for Tomsula, who I believe is going to retire. I haven’t seen news on anybody else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
