Gibbs might have been nice but laid down the law by cutting or putting players in the doghouse when they screwed up.

So are you saying that nice guys can succeed or that Wade Phillips will mandate that all of his players skip every practice and become alcoholics?

What the F are we talking about??

Wade won't be cutting anybody, he's being considered for DC, not head coach.

And then people are talking about this being same old Allen nepotism... ITS AJ SMITH MAKING THIS CALL!

Am I on another planet or something?

My point was not that Wade would be Allen nepotism. Wade is AJ's call (thank goodness). But we still have some NFL good ole boy networking going on. Wade is a long-term homie of AJ, AJ is a long-term homie of Allen.

I like the Wade hiring. But the process smacks of the same that lands us in last place every year.

Given the way that this team has been run lately, I think everyone should be a little suspicious, bothered, or concerned when jobs (like DC) are handed to someone through networks rather than an expansive competitive search. At any rate, I personally cannot blame anyone who calls for business to be done a different way.

Most teams work that way. Dallas hired Monte Muffin because of his connections with Jerruh. He then brought in Marinelli, who in turn replaced Kiffin and led a turnaround on dallas' D. Not that Dallas is the ideal comparison, but it really does go on in most if not all hiring situations. The problem in the past is not the homie factor, but just bad decision factor. WP if hired would be a good decision factor.

I understand that many teams network to find coaches, etc. If you actually know what you are doing, it can be a good way to do NFL business.

Do any of those teams finish 4-12 every year, year after year? If so, I recommend they do things differently.

Hiring "Allen's homie's homie," instead of just "Allen's homie," is not really doing things differently.

PS "homie factor" and "bad decision factor" are not mutually exclusive.

Is it? How do we know that? We don't know exactly what AJ is going to be doing do we?



I do agree with everybody that thinks that Wade would be a good hire for DC. He would be. It's a smart hire, and one I would make.

On if the rest of the defensive staff remains in place:

“Coach Gruden is meeting with all of the assistant coaches and he had just been with Jim [Haslett] the last two days specifically and will make those determinations. We will start the defensive coordinator search later today and start exploring some names and bring in some people for interviews but Jay will make those decisions later on.

Transcript: Bruce Allen news conference 12.31.14 | Rich Tandler's Real Redskins


I thought Jay was going to pick his DC.

With this odd organizational structure, who knows how decisions are made.

If only we had a real GM . . .
