Does Gruden feel like bringing in a strong DC puts his job at risk?

Dude you have a way of racing way ahead of the facts. Could it be that they're just not done interviewing? Chill.


Maybe saying that neither Bradley nor Pettine truly wants the job is jumping to conclusions, but at the same time, with their resumes as defensive coordinators, I'm not seeing why the Redskins would want to interview someone like Rob Ryan unless they feel neither of those guys are still in play.

No most likely not.

The big issue with brining in a "strong DC" is this jobbisnt appealing to any top candidate right now.

We have little talent, the Head Coach has 1-2 years left in his contract. If he is to get fired, the chances of the DC getting fired is highly likely. So, what prominent DC would want to come here and have 1 maybe 2 years to build a defense that is highly limited talent wise?

Its professional suicide.

We will most likely hire with in. Manusky seems to be the favorite. Add some valuable and experienced position coaches like Tarver and Tomsula.

No most likely not.

This is an insightful post. Tell it like it is, Bucket!

Gregg Williams! I'm surprised at the votes.

He was hired by the Browns ages ago.

Always a vibrant topic:

Redskins coordinator search could signal switch to 3-4 defense - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN (http://www.espn.com/blog/washington-redskins/post/_/id/29776/redskins-coordinator-search-could-result-in-switch-to-a-4-3)

D-Line front isn't the issue, but the LB area would be most affected by the switch. Keim makes sense here...

On the flip side the HC has two winning seasons under his belt and is not exactly on the hot seat. We have a bunch of money and draft picks to use rite now on the defense. We certainly do not need to throw a whole lot of attention towards our offense. And the only way is up for our D, so if you come on board now you will look like a genius when it improves.
