I really hope Briles is just speculation. Hiring Briles isn't going to do much to quiet down the whole, "Redskins catering to RG3" thing. I can't say I'd be upset if he did get hired though, at least RG3 would be working with a guy who knows exactly what he's all about and vice versa.
Denver caters to Manning, and what is wrong with that? They bring in Welker because Manning asks, They bring in Tamme for the same reason. They stick with Moreno because Manning is more comfortable with him in pass blocking even though they spent their 1st rounder on Ball. I know Manning has established himself as one of the greatest franchise QBs in history and is therefore deserving of the concessions (and they did the same for Tebow, maybe not as far as players, but certainly schematically), but by giving up what we did to acquire RG3 we were making the not so subtle statement, "you are the franchise QB we need". If we had catered to RG as far as personnel is concerned we could have had Josh Gordon and/or Terrence Williams for a couple supplemental draft picks. Both of which would be upgrades over our current WR talent. The point I'm making is there is nothing wrong with catering to your players if it means improving your team, and winning games, and good coaches and front offices understand that very basic philosophy.
