What Type of Head Coach Does This Team Need?

I think we need a HC who is a proven winner. He has to be experienced but young enough to lead the team energetically for the next seven to ten years.

I'm a Bill Cowher fan. I don't think of him so much as a disciplinarian but rather as a very intense leader and motivator.

Honestly, Jim Zorn is doing a better job than I thought he would. The difficulty he is facing is that he is learning how to be a HC and a play-caller while on the job. If he makes it past this season, I think he could become the type of HC I described.

Dare i say it, we passed on Josh McDaniels. say what you want about the Cutler deal but his offense is scoring and spreading defenses out so his players can make plays. 2 things that come up that Zorn hasnt done.

His offense scored 27 pts. in the first game and 6 pts. in the second game before that fluke of a TD. So they had one game where they score points and one where they score few points, how is that any different than us? Other than they are 2-0, when they should be 1-1.

Yes more total rebuilding...just what we all want.

So you are fine with our old Oline and other positions that need to be addressed?? I didnt say scrap the whole team but there are areas where we need to bring in younger talent.

Im just saying that he spreads things out so his guys can make plays and he is aggressive in his playcalling --trusts his QB--. Who would have thought Buckhalter would look like mini-westbrook? -to this point-

Although I do agree we could use more discipline(Cowher), I see the majority of our struggles being on the offensive side of the ball. Maybe Zorn will right the ship, and figure out how to score TD's and not FG's. Jerry Gray is a longtime Williams/Blache assistant, and Id like to see him given a shot with defensive coordinator once Blache is done.

As for head coach, and I hope Zorn figures it out, IMO we would want to go offensive minded, WITH PLAYCALLING EXPERIENCE lol. Others have mentioned B.Schottenheimer who is alot younger, or a Shanahan/Holmgren type. The older guys would be short-term fixes, so Id prefer someone younger. Although if Holmgren came here, Im sure he would want total control, which might be the real blessing.

This team needs a Coach they can respect. If we aren't going to blow the whole thing up, then this team needs a guy who is going to work them. This whole " Let's go out and have fun" mantra is not working. Where the hell is the fire with this team? I just watched Sunday's game last night, I was way off on how well I thought the offense had played based on stats. How many times is Portis and Betts going to run into the line man that are blocking for them? That was a piss poor effort all around offensivley. The redzone offense is just one problem. SS I'm not trying to hijack the thread and I just wanted to voice some frustration over what I saw. The whole offense looked sloppy.

I would go with experience ie a good OC who has never had the job or a proven winner in the league. The more I think about it with the money that the team is willing to spend a guy like Mike Holmgren or Cowher is who I want coaching this team.

I think we need a firey defensive minded leader that can bring out the greatness in this defense. The strength of the Redskins roster is defense. With this current roster the only way for them to be great is on Defense. I don't mean to sound like I am knocking Blache who is a good DC, but he gives us a good bend but don't break defense that keeps the score down. What this team needs to really excel is a nasty turnover causing, punch you in the mouth game changing defense. Our offensive players are just not that good IMO...we have a big chunk of the cap spent on the defense and that is where this roster needs to make it's mark.

First, if there is a change VC has to go. No questions asked. He tenure here is one of mediocrity and questionably choices. No Head Coach has succeeded during his stay. He is the constant amongst our mediocre seasons. Also, Zorn was his guy, his hire. He takes the blame for that. Most of his first choices refused to work under a system like we have.

We need a coach and a gm hire. I'd prefer a relatively young football coach like a B. Schott. Same goes for the GM. Give the reins over and let the football guys do there thing. I would have loved to hire Jim Schwartz but that ship has sailed.

I think Zorn has what it takes. The players respond well to him, which is important. However, he does have some growing up to do. Remember Belichick in Cleveland? He had growing up to do, too. I'm just hoping that the growing pains do not affect the team too badly. I also hope that we are patient enough with inexperienced coaches and players to allow them to grow.

Agreed, I mean if f'ing Al Davis was patient with Chucky, Snyder should be patient with Zorn.
