Redskins Name Ike Hilliard WR Coach

Bring back Malcolm Kelly! Ike will make him an All-Pro!

lol....and ex Giant .....must make you happy.

Tbh, out of our 3 NFCE rivals, I dislike the Giants the least. It's just easier to hate on them when they're in the SB for the 2nd time in 4 years, and people are talking about Eli as a potential HOFer if he wins his second ring.

As far as Ike Hilliard goes, I couldn't care less who he played for. If Michael Irvin came to coach the wideouts, I wouldn't give a crap as long as he made the players better. Bottom line I want coaches who can coach. Everything else is mostly irrelevant.

Ok. I'm indifferent about that choice. I'd have prefered Jerry Rice if we were going after ex players. Atleast his training regimend could do nothing but make our WRs better.

When was Rice ever a WR coach?

You guys act like being an Hall of fame player automatically makes one a great coach and all great coaches have been great players.

I would say it probably wouldn't. HOF players have a unique blend of talent and smarts. You can teach smarts but you can't teach talent. They probably have a flawed perspective on what it takes to be successful because of their unique talent.

That's partly why I didn't want DG to come here and be secondary coach. He was blessed with unique talent, and I don't think he's qualified to coach at all. He would've had a better shot at becoming coach if he started the right way as a quality control guy then worked his way up the ranks.

Yep, and it's often the great players that don't even make the best coaches.

Green works from a higher power. He has leadership qualities too.

That's great and all, but coaching is just as much about teaching as it is about leading.

I remember him from Madden.

As long as he is a good teacher
