(RG3, Williams, Garcon, Reed, Morris, Hankerson are really the only ones who I believe are shoe ins for next season. Its more than half, and I'm sure we will keep at least one of our guards, so 7/11 is a good core). Revamp the defense as much as you can with the draft and free agency, but TRY to keep them relatively young. Keep both your ends, they make or break the secondary and are a top 5 pair in the NFL. Find high motor smart guys for special teams.
These are all things that are doable in one offseason. I believe there will be plenty of high quality coaches that will be jockeying for the job this offseason. Why? Main reasons below.
- Finally have plenty of young talent
- Have a very capable backup QB, or an additional 2nd round pick, whichever way you play it, it is a plus for the team
- The HC will get paid more than market value, you can count on that
- Have shown that they can win
- Have the RotY franchise QB to develop and win with
- Have a true number one receiver
- Have a top 5 Left Tackle, as well as a top 5 rusher in Morris
- Have a top 5 pair of defensive ends
- Would be coaching in the NFC East, not the best division in football right now
- Have an owner that will spend whatever is necessary to win games and actually cares about the team, not just the teams financials
- And the biggest reason, Snyder has shown he can give football people, not yes men, the keys to the ferrari that is the Redskins franchise.
Of course there will be criticism, but any good young coach that gets offered this job would be stupid to pass it up

Yes. To the
nth power, yes, I agree.
We need to go young and hungry. A relative unknown. Screw the retreads, guys with Superbowl wins/appearances or Conference Championship appearances, and what have you, from a decade or more ago.
We need someone who wants to prove what he can do, if given the same control Snyder gave to Shanahan. The only established big name I'm interested in coming here is Lovie Smith. The rest of the big names being bandied about around here and in the media can go fornicate themselves. The retreads haven't worked (and yes, I'm including Gibbs 2.0 in that, God love him).
Darrell Bevell, Kevin Sumlin, Jay Gruden and Greg Roman would be excellent choices.
