Wade Phillips to Interview with the Redskins

[That Guy]

WP is super well qualified but we can't hire him cause he's not under 30? he wasn't a great HC, so we can't use him as a consistent top 10 DC? AJ smith knows him, so that makes it a bad idea?

man, there's some weird/weak sh*t going on in here. in a vacuum, who are the best DC's you could hire for 2015? probably WP and rex (who doesn't want to be a DC). so... if they're available, hire them. it's pretty simple. if grilliams was available, i'd take him too. he never did us wrong.

Again, my point is subtler than, "AJ smith knows him, so that makes it a bad idea." Wade is a good DC.

Why not have a more open process where we give folks with good records that we don't know personally so well a fair shake? If Wade really is the best guy for the job, the end result is the same.
