Stan Hixon

I am being honest with myself. If Hixon sucked so much why was he kept? It was a perfect time to clean house and they didn't which tells me that either he is a good coach or our management is incompetent.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm........

I agree. Hixon has had his chance to prove himself, and he hasn't under three different OCs. I like the idea of Christensen, but I can't see him leaving. Please, do not bring in Seattle's guy though. I can't remember when they've been strong at WR. Until this year, they've always seemed to have adequate performances from middle of the road receivers, but it's never been a strength.

I'd like to see us bring in Russ Grimm. Make him head coach and then bring in the wide reciever's coach from Arizona with him! I'm still not sold on Zorn staying here. There were just to many times when Zorn did dumb stuff................hopefully, those 24 points against San Fran was more adjusting and less luck. But, I'm still not sold on it.

There's an interesting scenario. Maybe next year if Zorn tanks again.

I don't know whether Hixon is a good coach or not. As for our recievers let's wait a year or two before we judge our 2 rooks. But the point i'm going to make here is...it doesn't matter how good you coach you need players. Let's make a comparison here:

NYG: Burress, Toomer, Smith, Hixon, Moss, Manningham

Skins: Moss, Thrash, ARE, Thomas, Kelly

NYG's have 5 better recievers than the skins hands down.

Dallas: Owens, RW, Crayton, sorry to lazy to look up there 4th's, 5ths

Better than the skins. I think we have better recievers than the Eagles but that's not saying too much.

So you can't make chicken salad out of chicken ****. We need more talent.

Zorn should bring in his buddy Steve Largent who I think all ready lives in the DC area, even though he would add to the Redskin Republican base there.

Well, Hasselbeck has made 3 or 4 pro-bowls and won an NFC Championship with those less-than-big-name WRs. Darrell Jackson had some nice years there, and Bobby Ingram caught like 95 balls in 2007.

You can't count 2008 because Hasselbeck and most of the WRs were shredded by injuries, but every other year they have had a very good passing offense with, as you say, middle of the road guys.

For the record, their WR coach is right now is Keith Gibertson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keith_Gilbertson) . He was new to their staff this year. I don't know who it was in previous years when Zorn was there. In light of that fact, I would say no to bringing in Gilbertson.

If anyone can find out who their WRs coach was when Zorn was there, I'd love to know. I poked around for a while but couldn't find him.

I think it's funny that people want to blame Hixon for the WR troubles. It's an easy assumption to make -that he's the problem- but the arguments are baseless, or shallow at best.

We have no idea what his duties are behind the scenes. Yes, he's the WR coach, but what does that entail under Zorn? Does he come up with his own teaching tools, or use those dictated by Zorn and/or Sherman Smith? How much time does he get to "teach" each week? What do the players think about his coaching skills?

There are hundreds of pertinent questions like these that we just do not know the answers to. Without that knowledge, I don't think anyone here is qualified to give an opinion, with any expectation respectability, about the replacement of coach Hixon.

Well, our WRs are NEVER open downfield, and Malcolm Kelly and Devin Thomas struggled big time with the learning curve from college to pros. I know that's not all Hixon's fault, but he has to shoulder some of that blame. I'd say that's a bit more than shallow and baseless.

Nolan Cromwell. He is currently the OC at Texas A&M.
