How good is the job? Well, to start with, there are only 32 NFL Head Coach jobs in the entire world! Only a small percentage of those jobs come open each year and the pool of jobs is more attractive in some years than in others.
This year, most of the job openings are not going to be very attractive, IMO. So, relatively speaking, the Redskins job would be more appealing this year than it would be in some other years. Because of this, I think that the Redskins will have many good candidates to choose from.

The Redskins HC job hasn't looked better in years, in my opinion.
1) It's been over decade since the QB position has looked any better. Any coaching candidate has to be optimistic about RG3's future cosidering he'll have a full off-season to prepare with the knee injury well in the rear view mirror. And if something happens to him, KC has proven to plenty capable. And both are VERY YOUNG and mold-able with long careers ahead of them. And even if KC isn't part of the future plans, he should translate into an extra draft pick.
2) 21 of this year's 22 starters won the division JUST LAST YEAR.
3) There will be plenty of opportunities to upgrade the talent level and add depth with w/ a full salary cap and every draft pick available except the first rounder. In the new coaches second season and beyond, he'll have a full draft to work with.
4) MONEY - say what you want about Snyder, but he will spend on coaches.
5) Any team that isn't searching for a starting QB is NOT in full rebuild mode. If the Skins can just get to being middle of the pack in Defense and Special Teams, they can contend for the division and both are possible in just a single off-season.
6) They'll be playing a last place schedule next year. Only 2 games, but everything helps.
7) The Skins play in the worst division in the league with 2 of the 4 team's starting QBs at the tail end of their careers.
8) Offensive talent - Garcon will likely end the season as the league leader in receptions, RG3, TW, 1600 yard rusher, dynamic TE coming back. Hank time is still in the early stages of his career and could possibly take the next step next year. I think the Offense is a top 5-10 unit AS-IS, but some O-line help and maybe an upgrade at WR2 with RG3's continued development can make this a perenniel top 5 Offense.
9) The DC area and fanbase. The Redskins are one of the most valuable sports franchises IN THE WORLD. This ain't Jacksonville or some city that has to compete with baseball or basketball. The Redskins are the king of DC sports and it's not even close. You win here and you're a GOD.
