Yeah I would add Schaub as a plus and Beck as a negative to his resume. Rex? Hard to say, he might of gotten the best out of Rex.

I really want the GB quarterback coach on our coaching staff... BADLY

And possibly his qb (Flynn).

[CultBrennan59]

Yeah, I'd love Flynn with either his GB QB coach, offensive coordinator, or players lol

[SmootSmack]

Told you guys Keenan and Jackson were headed out. Morris could still leave if someone names him defensive coordinator, which probably explains why Slowik is still there

I don't mind the Morris hiring, I just wanted someone different to coach the secondary. Hopefully Morris is a better position coach than head coach and we get something out of that unit. Don't know how to feel about KM being let go, I mean how can you evaluate your receivers when you have sh*t at the QB position. But then again there were dropped passes here there, so who knows. Maybe some change in that area will help. Still, this team needs a QB, and you can bring all the assistants you want, it won't mean squat if you don't have a decent QB behind center.

Preach. The qb position is vital to the team's success. We won't be anything without a quality one.

And thats what Morris offers: a different voice to a struggling position group.

If you believe we're in need of a different voice, then it's a good move, right? If you believe that the Redskins can't have enough continuity in the coaching staff, then it's a bad move, right? I'm not surprised that the concept of continuity hasn't come up in this thread, as it's become a self-serving argument over the years.

All the other losing teams are switching up (tweaking) their coaching staff. Why not the Skins?

Because the Skins have coaches who are better than us. Or something. I'm with you: I don't even really understand the argument for or against Raheem Morris.

It's news to be sure. But one of the questions I asked myself right after I heard about the hire was, "wow, Raheem Morris?! How did the Redskins land him as a positional coach?!" And then I remembered that Tampa's season was pretty unwatchable this year. And then it made sense to me.

I think he's overqualified for this position, which makes it cool that we have him, but not a lot more than cool. I hope he does really really well.

The only continuity I have seen on the defensive side of the ball is terrible play from the safeties and corners. I know this may be a stupid thing to say, but the 3-4 switch should not have anything in the secondary, yet they continued to struggle. Despite what other people think, I also think the FS position has suffered since Sean Taylor's passing. I thought Atogwe would be the answer, but obviously injuries have affected his play.

I agree with everything you wrote here. The secondary was a weakness of the 2009 team, and we haven't improved it from then,

People should know from reading my opinions the last few weeks that I do not fear organizational change within this coaching staff and can even see its value. I think people would be hard pressed to argue that Raheem Morris was the the long lost missing link to our defense, but I don't think it hurts at all to try his coaching techniques with this group.

I agree with this. After he passed I was really hoping it wouldn't be the downfall of our excellent safety tandem (seriously, the first half of the '07 season was the best tandem safety play I've ever seen by two Redskins, and it had me convinced Taylor and Landry would be a All Pro duo for years to come) and since then we've seen Doughty, Landry, Moore, and Atogwe at free safety and all of them have been very underwhelming, to say the least.

I'm like tripp in many ways, I always get cautious over moves the skins make simply because we suck and have for 20 years now.. he and I are about the same age and have never seen a winner in dc so u have to understand our pain
