The Redskins Head Coach job is the best opening available

[Paintrain]

I think the Redskins are the fourth most attractive option:
1. Houston-Playmakers on both sides of the ball, strong leadership/front office, #1 pick. A QB away from being a playoff team again.

2. Detroit-Again, playmakers on both sides of the ball, strong GM, strong OL & DL, young QB who has been successful.

3. Tampa-Talented roster but unclear if it 'fits' cohesively to make a team. May have a QB, tough division.

4. Washington-QB, LT, RB, WR, TE in place. Defensively, basically have some good spare parts but not enough to even field a unit. Major FO/ownership questions.

5. Cleveland-Some talent on both sides of the ball, specifically WR, TE, CB & S. 2 1st round picks. No faith in FO/ownership, disgruntled fan base.

6. Minnesota-Aging defense, Peterson for a couple more good years, weapons with speed but playing at a college stadium/outdoors in Minnesota for 2 yrs may not be a good fit.

I would put this job above TB but below Houston and Detroit. The Glazier family sure do turn on coaches quickly.

Yeah, it's really close IMO between us and Tampa.. No 1st round pick was the difference to bump us down one for me.

+1! Maybe down one more notch just because of the rabid media and crazy fan base! Oh, that's right, we are the fan base!

That is how I would have it ranked as well.

The front office situation at Washington for the past two decades makes it more difficult for a coach to come in and think he will have the tools to be successful.

Detroit is about to hit a salary cap brick wall within the next two years. Stafford, Johnson, and Suh's contracts have crippled them and their idiot GM played "kick the can" with their contracts like Vinny did. Even in cutting one or two, that cap will be hamstrung by dead cap money.

Three players alone are going to account for 53.5 million of their salary cap and they are looking at 15 over the cap. Keep in mind, they've already restructured Staffords and Johnson's contracts.

Granted, if the object is to get there win within these next two years and jet, I'd say this is the best coaching spot available outside of the Texans.
