Redskins Name Ike Hilliard WR Coach
 

According to Larry Michael

Can't say I saw that one coming

He played in Tampa when Bruce Allen was there, and he was the WR coach with Haslett in the UFL

He was also a reciever with the Giants mostly in the late 90's, early 2000's with Toomer,good reciever ,good guy...know nothing about him as a coach.

I hope he's a better coach than he was a wide receiver. I can't remember him doing anything special in his NFL career.

...the hell? Hope this works better than the other ex-WR turned coach.

Re: Redskins Name Ike Hilliard WR Coach
 

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.

Don't know how to feel about this yet.

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

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 [I]mostly[/I] irrelevant.

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.
