Coaching Staff update

Anyone have any idea what the Seahawks offered Gray, since it was a "it's a one-of-a-kind offer?"

Gray says he hasn't accepted Seattle's offer yet | ProFootballTalk.com

Well to be fair that job was turned down by quite a few coaches.

True, but he seems content in Arizona. Sure, he played for the skins, but he's spent a good deal of his professional career working with wisenhut. they have a pretty good thing going on over there. i dont see any reasons that shanahan would want grimm or why grimm would want to leave arizona for a lateral move.

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)

#1- Grimm under contract so I doubt he leaves the Cards.
#2- Grimm I don't think teaches the zone/cut blocking method.
#3- Grimm is already Asst. HC/OL coach. His only promotion will be to HC.
#4- Can we all stop mentioning Grimm and this team in the same sentence? Unless DS gets a brain fart and completely fires everyone Grimm will not be here. Sorry, I couldn't think of a soft way to let you all down.

On a side note I thought I heard last night at the end of "Redskins Insider" or whatever was on Comcast that Shanahan would be finalizing his coaching roster today, Tues. Jan 19th. I hope it's complete and we pick up a decent OL, and WR coach.

The Bills have a HC.

Miami is interested in Nolan. Nolan improved Denvers defense in almost every statistical category. McDaniels is looking pretty stupid right now.

I wasn't really lobbying for Grimm, I was trying to use him to make a point that the current playoff teams may have someone we would want to look at hiring. I agree with points 2 and 3 completely, I think #1 and 4 are inter-related, in that Grimm might have liked to be back with the Skins, and Allen might have liked the historical reference.

I haven't heard many names for OL, so I was trying to think where they might be getting one from, and the 4 remaining playoff teams all looked like solid resources who we might not have had a chance to conduct interviews with yet. If they are naming the rest by today like you thought you heard, than that would probably not be the answer.

LOL, I feel so bad for Bill's fans....

Steve Jackson has been retained....

Redskins Insider - Safeties coach Jackson retained by Shanahan

[CRedskinsRule]

According to Twitter:
RT @RickMaese: Jackson, DSmith an Olivadotti retained by #Redskins. Not kept: SSmith, Mitchell, Meidt, Wachenheim, Gray, Palermo, Hixon

I thought Meidt was being kept??

[MTK]

Meidt was in the running but obviously wasn't a lock.

[BigHairedAristocrat]

i don't know what's more surprising: keeping jackson or letting grey and meidt go.

I am sadden to see Jackson still on this staff. I feel he stunted the growth of both Sean Taylor and Laron Landry. Please correct me if I am wrong about this.

yes, but he also turned doughty, moore, and horton into pretty good players. when the same coach turns nobodys into good/serviceable players and the development of top 10 draft picks seems stunted, i'm inclined to think the coach is good and its just the top 10 draft picks that were stubborn and/or immature. that said, the skins evidently chose jackson over gray - a real headscratcher unless gray really wanted to get out of DC and the skins let him go since he agreed to the sham interview.

What are you basing this on??

ST was breaking out and having his best season before he died.
