Pick Your Next Redskins Head Coach

A side note for those who were clamoring for the great Lovie Smith:


@AdamSchefter

Lovie Smith’s contract contains the clause that gives him final say over all personnel matters on the Buccaneers' final 53-man roster.



Be glad we didn't get ourselves into another situation like that. No way would I give Lovie final say so on personnel. Going to make that GM job pretty irrelevant.

Yeah This hardly ever works that well anymore, HC trying to be GM as well

Wasn't Greg Manusky's name being thrown around for a possible HC candidate ?? Or was that just for a coordinator position??

Looking at the list I gotta say I like the mix. Offense, defense, and special teams are all covered. Young on the rise coordinators, experienced 2nd chance head coaches, a few off the radar types. Solid list.

Yep. We are doing it right. I can't remember when we last ran a coaching search this way but it is a good thing. If the next Joe Gibbs (unknown) or Belichick (retread who made good) is out there, we are doing our best to find him.

Agreed. I really like this list a lot. Nobody can say the Redskins front office is not doing its do diligence in finding the next head coach.

I'm glad we're exploring all options and doing what seems to be an exhaustive (and to some exhausting I'm sure) search for the next head coach. I don't say I have a clear cut favorite and really the offensive and defensive coordinators may be the most important hires.

If I had to rank them:
Mike Zimmer
Sean McDermott
Jay Gruden

No interest in:
Darrell Bevell
Greg Roman
Vic Fangio

Shows what having someone with a damn clue can do. Thank you Bruce.

Updated candidate list

NFL Redskins coaching search scorecard - ESPN (http://m.espn.go.com/general/blogs/blogpost?blogname=washington-redskins&id=4598&src=desktop)

Saw this in the Caldwell Article:

"Caldwell met with owner Daniel Snyder, general manager Bruce Allen, director of pro personnel Morocco Brown, director of player personnel Scott Campbell and other team officials."

That is good to hear. Not that it is surprising, but glad they brought in the personnel guys to help to evaluate candidates, and not just Bruce and Danny.

SmootSmack, aren't you gonna vote?
