Wade Phillips to Interview with the Redskins

[MTK]

Phillips makes complete sense on many levels. He's a guy that players buy into quickly, he's a proven defensive mind with extensive HC experience that can no doubt help Gruden. No brainer of a move.

[sdskinsfan2001]

Any coach old or young is better than the shit show we had last year. We haven't picked a new coach or signed any new players and our defense is already better than last years.

I'll give you an example. Why not talk to Ken Norton? Former player and a damn good one. He's been coaching for a while, he can probably relate and motivate the players better than Phillips. He comes from a winning environment. He comes from a place where competition is a priority and they put a very strong emphasis on tackling and fundamentals. Why not think outside the box? This organization needs to go away from the good ole boy network in the worst way possible. I think bringing someone in like him is exactly what this team needs.

And may I add leadership and accountabilty in the locker room. When you are a nice guy people take advantage. Give me Norton if he is willing to become our DC anyday.

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?

Of all the people in the world, you were the last that I expected to say that phrase.

This is completely speculative, you have no idea if Norton can motivate better than Phillips, you're now just saying things with no factual basis.

Don't overthink it, Wade's resume is what it is for a reason.

This is sounding like when Shanahan was hired. And how did that turn out? But he's been to 2 SB's, blah, blah, blah.

It's not exactly the same as Shanahan. But the element of "Bruce and his homies" remains the same.

Fire Bruce now.
