They're human just like everyone else.

How do we only work 8 hours a day and still manage to F things up time to time?

It happens.

Indeed...I was being cynical.

Still I would say from my own experiences...when the going gets tough at work, for whatever reason, it's not helpful to tell the boss, client or whomever that you're working extra hours. I think it comes across as whiny. Not that Bruce was trying to play that card IMO, but it can still sound that way.

Bruce Allen? What does he have to do with it?

Re: Coaching Changes

^ I agree with the the Allen character. Could he be a really good position coach? yes, cause he has proven he can worth with other athletes and train them up as he did with Bailey and Fred Smoot. Maybe if nothing else Green could be hired to work with the DB's in the off season at Redskins park. Give them an off season program to develope their Skills at least for the young guys.

Any chance we can pay Jerry Rice to come in and work with the WR in the offseason? Maybe give both Green and Rice as Assistants. Between Green working with our young DB's and Rice working with the WR's and giving them a work out routine they would have to be 100x better then they were last year.

Re: Coaching Changes

I keep hearing about Darrell Green's "leadership", but from what I gather, his teammates weren't that fond of him due to his "me" personality. I seriously doubt he'd make a good coach because I'm quite positive he still holds that type of "me" attitude.

My sister used to attend ken harveys church, and Darrell Green was there one sunday. They all ended up going out to lunch together, as my sister coordinates the usage of facilities at an area high school by a bunch of ex redskins and some current ones that hold some type of camp there each summer. (that was her "foot in" I suppose) She ended up getting both of their autographs for me on a napkin........a frikkin napkin, but anyways......

She told me that Darrell Green was the center of the conversation the entire time, on top of being very loud. She also said that Ken Harvey was the nicest man she has possibly EVER had the oppurtunity to meet.

It seems to me that he isnt really serious about the idea. If he were, then Im sure his connections at Redskins park could get him in to an actual meeting about having some type of interaction with our team or our secondary, whatever level it may be. Its not something you just comment about on twitter, and then "POOF", you are a positions coach. He was just typing, possibly frustrated and worried about the direction of our secondary, which any real fan should be.

Re: Coaching Changes

I have read other reports that Ken Harvey is like....Gold and that DG is the EGO. Naturally this leads to conflicting reports of Matty's.....origin?

I love Marty as a coach but I'm not sure he's so good that he can translate his success in football to a career coaching Bogut and friends in the NBA

Still the guy deserves a shot. All he does is win.

I figure he might pull a Shanahan and try to bring his son with him in hopes that later he can retire again and his son can take over. Hey his only draw back was his lack of winning a SB. Hey he's got a winning record and sooner or later with a winning record you have a better chance of getting there.
