Wade Phillips to Interview with the Redskins

[SFREDSKIN]

I would say it's a done deal, would be very surprised if they hired a different DC. Allen is afraid of thinking out of the box and is predictable.

This comment is pretty ignorant. AJ Smith is the one with familiarity with Phillips, not Allen. And please explain why Wade would be a bad hire? When you have the track record he does as a defensive coordinator it becomes easy to see why he keeps getting hired. Not everything has to be overly complicated or "outside the box" to be the right decision. Some things really are obvious, and that's because his resume is that clearly head and shoulders above the others.

I like WP, I think he's a great coach, what I don't is that he is too nice and with the culture/locker room that we have, it won't work. we need a disciplinarian. I saw JoeRedskin article and that's fine, i just think that we need to change the locker room mentality not with a nice grandpa.

I don't think the style matters nearly as much as track record and the introduction of new concepts that will fit our personnel better. Haslett didn't have great talent to work with, but he also had only one real trick up his sleeve: blitz blitz blitz.

Wade has come into new teams in recent years and made significant improvements in his first year, a sign that he knows how to assess the capabilities on the roster and deploy them in a way that maximizes their talent. We need his strong thinking and teaching to improve this team.

Phillips is a retread. Not saying it would be a bad hire, but it would be nice to see them bring in a young up and comer.

3 of the 4 head coaches in the conference championships last year where retreads. I think the young up and comer can be overrated if you don't have the talent or the FO and coaching staff to assist them.

We have a (supposedly) young, up-and-coming HC. No problem then with having an experienced coordinator.

Why?? Just for its own sake? This kind of "thinking" makes no sense to me.
