I voted yes, I approve of the hire. While, I am in a "wait in see" mode as to whether or not he will be successful here, I do believe it was a good hire.

I am really liking what I am reading about his philosophy, that he adjusts his offenses to the strengths of his players, he allows dissenting opinions to be discussed openly, that he asks his QB's what they are comfortable with. I know that some people fear that this is buying in to Griffins alleged egomania, but actually this type of leadership style is extremely effective. The more you elicit the opinions of others, the more they buy-in to your vision, the more they are able to work within your paradigm, and the more they are able to make quick decisions that are in line with what you are doing, and all of this is is because when you invite others to be part of the decision making process, you are inviting them to think about it and understand it. I am excited and hopeful that this is the atmosphere that will allow RG3 to flourish, but of course, time will tell.
