Choose Your 2014 Redskins Head Coach

SmootSmack · 11-20-2013, 08:44 AM

Chose the most commonly mentioned names. Be advised the votes are public.

This is not about who you think will be the next HC, but who you want.

If you choose other, post who you want

Sumlin autocorrects to dumplings which makes him the best answer.

skinsfaninok · 11-20-2013, 09:02 AM

Shaw is my 1 choice after him I'd say Gruden or Roman

donofriose · 11-20-2013, 09:04 AM

Perry Fewell, even though he is at a divisional rival.
Or Mike Zimmer. He knows his defense well.

I'm going with David Shaw. Stanford, traditionally, runs a pro offense so I'm not worried about his transitioning to the pro game. Shaw is a young guy (41) and it's nice to think (if successful) that this franchise could have a coach for the next decade and a half at least.

GTripp0012 · 11-20-2013, 09:14 AM

Like Fewell, like Briles. I think Bill O'brien can do wonders with RG3 as well, just think its time to bring the air raid to the NFL, it's the perfect system for Robert Griffin.

I know the vote is about who you want rather than who you think, but I just can’t say Shaw if the likelihood of it actually happening is slim (going on comments in and out of this forum).

I therefore still lean towards Mike Zimmer.

Sean McDermott is worth looking into. He's really done something special with that Panthers defense. Regardless, I'd like to see a defensive guy as HC. With Griffin and Morris and Garcon and Reed, I believe we have the tools to be successful on offense for years to come, so coaching at that position isn't as much of a priority. We need a defense that can support the offense.

Monkeydad · 11-20-2013, 09:44 AM

Mike Shanahan.

SBXVII · 11-20-2013, 09:46 AM

I chose Briles because if RG3 is our franchise QB then this is why I want Briles:

He doesn't pick a QB for his system, he builds the system around what the QB can do. Plus I read somewhere that his fast paced offense is technically faster then what Chip Kelly does.

Baylor coach Art Briles builds his offense around each quarterback - ESPN

Is there a playbook?

Quote:

"When I was at Houston, the first thing everybody wanted was the playbook," said Briles, who coached the Cougars from 2003 to '07. "A guy's not going to read or study it. Kids play video games, so we show them the plays on video. Everything is on an iPad, and we label it and number them. A playbook is something we don't do.

"I'm a visual learner, and people learn differently. If you can see something, you remember it. If you read it and try to interpret it, it's a little different. We do a lot of repetition on the field so guys can learn it."

How the hell do you stop Baylor? Part I: What are they doing? - Football Study Hall

Chris Brown on how Art Briles's potent offense has made Baylor a national title contender - Grantland

I was a proponent for Gruden but we picked up Shanahan. I'm ready for a fast paced offense. I'm ready for an offense that can score in less then a min if need be. I'm looking for a coach that can run a 2 min drill if need be.

This is a tough choice.

What I really want is for Mike Shanahan to stay, change some assistant coaches, and do some things differently. But I don't think that he would be willing to do that.

There are some very intriguing choices on the list. Of the coaches I didn't vote for, I would probably be most comfortable with David Shaw because I like a heavy dose of the running game in my offense. And I think it would be fun to see what Kevin Sumlin could do as an NFL HC.

Ultimately, I went with previous NFL HC experience. I picked Jon Gruden because I have a gut feeling that he could make the coaching staff transition go relatively smoothly and that he would keep what is good and change what needs to be changed on both sides of the ball.

Shaw #1
Roman/Bevell #2
Manusky #3
Gase #4

SmootSmack · 11-20-2013, 10:14 AM

What would make Adam Gase a good HC?

Smoot from what you know or heard. Who do you realistically see coming here as a coach and then as a gm?
