Then again, he might just land that head coaching job in the college ranks that he has been looking for. Tennessee maybe? I know that he really wants to coach the Huskies though.

Well, Gibbs didn't exactly have huge success with Williams or Bugel either. Surrounding yourself with good people is obviously smart. But remember when we had Bugel, Williams, Gibbs, and Saunders? You essentially had 4 head-coach caliber guys. We were terrible that year. Too many cooks so to speak. Hiring an all-star staff name-wise isn't necessarily the best thing for the team.

If Sarkisian had left Washington to go back to USC, I'm pretty sure Mora would be the coach of the Huskies.

Then he could have said thanks to Pete Carrol for getting him fired.

Marcus Mason has retired as a player. He will use his expertise in blocking to coach the offensive line.

Oh man, and I was sure that Trung Candidate was going to get the job.

Not being a smart ass. I just saw it myself. Thought I would enlighten you as I was.

It's all good. That article wasn't too convincing though, it seemed more like a wild guess or a plea rather than thought from a person that had inside info. Only time will tell I guess, but thanks for the heads up.

You know who I really feel sorry for? Raider fans. Maybe they look at us the same way but we have a young owner not one who's senile and on a power trip. At what point do the other share holders finally step up and tell him to back off? or if he's the only share holder when does he finally realize he's the problem and put people in place to run the team and back off? Pretty soon if not now no one will be taking the HCing job to have to work with him. Unless you want an instant pay day. Get a 3 yr 12 mill deal and only work for 1 yr. LOL. Sit on the couch and collect the rest.

Then again he may be old a senile but that means that he is closer to being on his way out. Snyder is still young a kicking. We may actually have the short end of the stick. I do give credit to Snyder for what he has done this offseason. One can only hope that he keeps it up.

I believe MS and BA hired all the people they could off the bat, then went in, talked with Buges, and watched tape of the OL we currently have. If they ever are able to stop weeping and gnashing their teeth, we will start hearing OL coach names.

Since it has been pointed out that the remaining playoff teams have solid OL's does anyone know if one of their OL coachs might jump ship to the Redskins? Russ Grimm maybe (although I don't know how we make that happen with a new title since he is already assistant head coach/OL)

[BigHairedAristocrat]

Grimm didn't want the the Bills Head Coaching job so I don't see why he would leave Arizona to come here... or why Arizona would let him go.

Apparently this guy will not be retained as ARE's punt return coach.

I only mentioned Grimm because of his ties here, my broader question is whether or not any of the playoff teams have an OL coach or young OL assistant that would work in Shanahan's scheme.
