Here's another ST coaching option:

Panthers punt special teams coach
Posted by Mike Florio on January 14, 2010 4:06 PM ET
Ted Daisher of the Eagles wasn't the only special teams coach to get treated in an unspecial way on Thursday. Danny Crossman of the Panthers also got to take the long walk to the parking lot, cardboard box full of picture frames, comic books, and Power Bars bouncing off his legs.

The Panthers announced today that Crossman has been fired.

Crossman has a year left on his deal. But since he's not being paid $6.5 million in 2010, the team apparently was willing to pay him not to work.

Crossman has been with the Panthers since 2003, coach John Fox's second year on the job.

The Panthers struggled this year on special teams, finishing 30th in kickoff coverage, 29th in punt coverage, 30th on kickoff returns, and 17th on punt returns.

How about any college ST coach's?

I'm not sure how many times it's been mentioned that coaches have kept ARE back there.. I'd think Smith would pick someone else but is getting overruled, but who knows

Mann is almost certain to be named WR coach by this weekend.

Olivadotti possibly in line to be assistant LB coach.

I've got no problem with olivadotti staying.. he's lasted through several coaches for a reason obviously

Apparently he didn't get enough out of them". Of course reports from the organization is that he was a good coach, the they want him to get a job. Then again I shouldn't be too mad about this because Haslett isn't any better that guy got fired a lot more.

Haslett has run the 4-3 the past 2 teams he's coached on the saints and rams, so Don't assume that since he ran the 3-4 ten years ago that he'll do that here. Keep in mind everyone that Shanny wanted Zimmer who ran a 4-3 with Cincy and Dallas (Wade Philips brought in the 3-4 to Dallas).

parcells had zimmer implement the 3-4

I guess his scheme is good enough cause the bright side is other teams usually don't get a good return.

Edit: Big,... have you been taking your medicine lately? Whats with all the positive feed back? sorry gotta pick.

I don't know if April refused to interview or not but if he didn't the Skins need to get him. Screw Smith.

You think that the ST coach is making big personnel decisions? LOL

yeah, I bet ST coaches all across the league cut players hahahaha

Not Redskins related but apparently Perry Fewell will be the new Giants DC

Heard the name Jedd Fisch-current OC at the U. of Minnesota mentioned a couple of times as a possibility for the Redskins. Not sure in what capacity.

Here is a brief outline of Fisch's career.

• 2008 - Denver Broncos wide receivers coach
• 2004-2007 - Baltimore Ravens quarter back and wide receiver coach
• 2001-2003 - Houston Texans as defensive quality control

maybe if Mann doesn't pan out.. or something else? QB coach?

also a rumor of him going to Seattle to be QB coach under Bates who was at Denver

Latest Jedd Fisch rumor | StarTribune.com

and since I don't know much about him and am guessing that not many others do either:

Well let me say that on any other given team I would think the ST coach has some say if not total say as to who plays on his ST's. Obviously it would have to go through the HC cause I doubt some teams would want their star WR getting hurt or their star RB. Some teams don't care, like the Eagles who used Johnson as KR/PR and WR.

^but as we know the Skins were disfunctional so I guess Smith gets a slight pass. If I was Shanahan and had no other options I'd name Smith also but I would tell him he has 1 year to do something with the ST's. No one can argue that he has the guys tackling well when trying to stop a KR or PR. The issue is our own blocking in those situations. Maybe with a little freedom Smith can show he's not just another ST coach.

whats going to happen or has happen to sherm lewis?

[diehardskin2982]

We should go after the guy who the Eagles let go, they have had multiple returns... Ofcourse they have great talent but the blocking has been good for them on ST for years.

Texans offensive assistant Matt LaFleur is interviewing for a job with the Redskins. LaFleur assisted WRs and QBs the past two seasons.

Really seems like they are looking for the Right WR coach. I hope we can find someone to fill SH's shoes.
