I believe we can have a turnaround...but not as easily as some other teams. In my mind the teams who have had the biggest turnarounds from season to season are the falcons, dolphins, ravens, jets (maybe), saints, and broncos. All these teams had one big thing in common, they all had coaching changes (and qb changes, but I think the coaching change is more important...I do not believe orton to be better than cutler). They all had a change in scheme. The dolphins followed parcells's scheme in his version of the 3-4 and the wildcat. The broncos are thriving off Nolan's defense (and mcdaniels's offense is good considering they have orton). The jets are thriving off Rex Ryan's defense. And I think that the Ravens and Falcons just started to do good because of good drafting finally paying off combined with a competent coach.
The Redskins can do it, but our biggest obstacle is that we do not have young draft picks to build off of. Our cornerstones are old and on the decline while we do not have rising youth to take over one day. Coaching will help significantly, but it will only do so good as long as we have players to back us up, which I am not confident we can get in one year. I think in like 3 years or so we might have a good shot at contending assuming we draft well
