The Redskins Head Coach job is the best opening available

That is my hope, but there is one remaining link to the past 14 years, and he's still here. As long as Snyder is the Skins owner, there are going to be outsiders that look at this team as a circus, and that accounts into what candidates think.

I agree with this post. I have had my share of hate on Snyder, as many of us have. I still believe that he gives his input who on who he thinks should play, and i believe that if the coaches disagree, he forces his will a little bit, which is his right i guess as owner. I think back to when Portis and other guys only had jobs because Dan said they did. Portis was at the point where he really shouldn't be a starter anymore, and they kept him in the lineup. But that's water under the bridge....

My thoughts are this: In 14 years, is it realistic to say that EVERY single coach was the wrong one for the job, or we just picked the wrong players, or the wrong coordinators, etc?? I just think it's hard to believe that every coach comes here and for the most part fails miserably because they are the wrong guy...i just think the problems start at the top and work their way down. It affects everyone and everything.

A new head coach = probably having a losing year next year (maybe not, we have an easy schedule supposedly), hoping for improvement by the 2nd year. Does Snyder fire again if this new coach (whoever he is) turns out 2 bad years in a row??? Questions that i think are worth asking...

Washington is the best franchise of all the vacancies, franchise QB, good nucleus of young talent (could be next year's KC), 5 SB appearances (even if it was long ago) best fan base, cap space, hungry owner.

This franchise is a disaster. Surf around, look at what other media outlets are saying about the Redskins. Other fanbases. People around the NFL. A franchise QB you say? Others say an overrated, arrogant, me-first guy who has issues with his coaches and some teammates. Not to mention having his Daddy hanging around making unneccessary demands, "suggestions" etc. A good nucleus of young talent?? What? Really? This team is awful in so many areas, here again is where too many fans think they have a better team than what's really here. I mean...3-13..let that sink in. Good talent?

5 SB's?? Really? The last one was how many years ago? Nobody gives a flying fart what happened in 1992. How many playoff wins since then?

Best fan base? Really? You mean the one that for years only shows up when the team is winning? Did you not see the KC game? The Dallas game where over half the stadium was cheering for Dallas? This fan base is the biggest bandwagon rider in the league and has been for years.

Cap space? They don't have nearly as much as some other teams do. Besides the Redskins have so many holes they need ten times as much as they have to go get anyone good. Not that many good FAs will want to come to this train wreck of a team. And many other teams have all their draft picks as well.

A hungry owner? What? You mean an arrogant, meddling, weasel of an owner? The atmosphere here is poisonous....there's no other way to put it. Coaches will always be under Danny's thumb here.

This franchise, the one that stood for honor, winning, integrity, etc is DEAD. Gone. It will never be the glory years again. The problem is there are too many fans that think a snap of the fingers will fix things and they'll be a contender again, so they keep forking over money to Danny for tickets and merchandise, etc...and the team ends up sucking again and again and again. No matter who coaches, who gets drafted, signed as free agents, it's always the same....

I think this job is easily one of the worst in the league now, if not the absolute worst. Listening to Allen blather on about how "the right people are in charge now" etc made me want to puke. Isn't that what they said about the Shanahans, etc...

Nothing is going to change here.

Wow is that negative!
Unfortunately I cant say your wrong about anything

If I had my choice of the openings I would pick the Texans.Great owner,have the first pick in the draft.If they draft the right qb I think they'll be ready to go

Totally agree that if RG3 is a bust, this team will continue to sink into the bottomless abyss with no end in sight (Trying to come up with apocalytic language to match your depressing tone).

But who don't you think is talented? Won't even mention RG3.
- Garcon
- Trent Williams
- Alfred Morris
- Darrel Young
- Jordan Reed
- Ryan Kerrigan
- Orakpo (yes, he might be gone)
- DHall

And have you already concluded that guys like Amerson, Riley Jr., Rob Jackson and Crawford have no future in this league? Bowen and Coefield are unemployable?

FACT: 55 guys on the 2009 roster were OUT OF THE LEAGUE within a year.

How many guys on this team wouldn't find work with another team?

Yes, 3-13 can't be ignored. But you can't ignore the fact that this same roster won the division just last year, are in the best CAP position in the NFC and that it's not unheard of for teams to go from worst to first or vice versa every year. There's a reason no team has won the NFC East 2 years in a row in over a decade. Parity.

The NFL is totally unpredicable and somewhat random. No one is arguing the Redskins will be Super Bowl bound next year, but I don't believe they're in a tailspin that will take years to recover from either... UNLESS RG3 turns out to be a total bust.

To me, it all comes down to him.... not the next coach or Snyder or Ancient Indian curses that have been placed on the team

I don't think he's done anything over the last 4 years to scare anyone off and Bruce Allen is well respected. Snyder gave Shanny 4 years and didn't fire him mid-season in a knee-jerk reaction to their miserable record. And, again, he's not afraid to spend on coaches.

The next coach should feel confident that he'll get a fair shake and will be given every opportunity to win.
