Coaching Staff update

Redskins coaching staff reports
Two more coaches added.

[CRedskinsRule]

So our main deficiencies are OL WR and DL(although we think we know that one), and OL/WR would seem to be 2 of the greatest needs in terms of coaching so I hope this means they are being extremely picky, detailed, diligent in finding the right coaches. I hope.

Why not Shermann Lewis for WR coach didn't he coach The Great Jerry Rice.

Gotta wonder if they are targeting someone for the OL spot who is still coaching in the playoffs

That's what it's looking like. Damm next season can't come fast enough.

How about Bill Callahan or Aaron Kromer? Both have a history with Bruce Allen and the Raiders and TB.


At Tampa Bay in 2007, Kromer coached an offensive line that cleared the way for the Buccaneers to rush for 1,872 yards and average nearly 327 yards of offense per game. That season, G Arron Sears earned All-Rookie honors under Kromer’s tutelage. In 2006, despite his unit losing a total of 23 starts from injuries, Kromer prepared a pair of rookie starters weekly and Tampa Bay cracked the 1,500-yard rushing milestone.

He was the senior assistant for the Buccaneers in 2005, working primarily with the offensive line. The Buccaneers surpassed the 100-yard rushing plateau in 10 contests, and Kromer helped polish the skills of All-Rookie selection G Dan Buenning. Following the season, Kromer was selected by former Bucs coach Jon Gruden to attend the NFL’s Coaches Career Development Symposium.

Kromer arrived in Tampa Bay after spending four seasons with Oakland as the offensive line coach from 2002-04 and assistant offensive line coach in 2001. The Raiders’ offensive front was the foundation of a unit that led the NFL in total offense in 2002 – the same season the club advanced to Super Bowl XXXVII.

If true, it would have to be minnesota as thats the only team that runs an offense similar to Shanahans. It would be interesting to see who they they'd want to interview though... i can't imagine why an OL coach from any of these teams would be interested in a lateral move to come here. by the same token, i cant imagine why we'd be interested in someone who was just an assistant to be our OL coach here... we've got far too many problems with our O-line to bring in someone who's not experienced. for those reasons, i think its possibly more likely that all of shanahan's top choices have decided to go elsewhere and he's trying to come up with a "plan D."

that's the only thing that I could come up with

what happened with Waufle? I was kind of hoping that there'd be less of the good old boys..

So Mann was confirmed let go by the Bucs today.. but a week later really no word from us.. this being after we just picked up some new guys including Embree whom I never even saw tossed around

[CRedskinsRule]

Redskins add three coaches | Rich Tandler's Real Redskins

Does anyone else start to drool when they see the offensive numbers these coaches have put up. I know we need an OL but MAN those are gaudy numbers

[SBXVII]

What? we got a Frenchie teaching our QB's (Matt LaFleur)?

Where's Ricky Bobby when you need him.

I hope its because he is intending to come to us but not confirmed cause he has not signed his contract. I think it was just today that it sounded like the team announced that Kyle would be our OC. One could ask what took so long there but I think we all know he was at home with his wife and new borne baby. So I presume maybe he finally showed up and signed his contract possibly today.

I hadn''t heard word one on Embree, didn't know who he was, but the press releases, and some other minor background stuff looked real promising. I hope this is a similar quality hire to who we find for the OL. Obviously that is the coach everyone is waiting to find out about.

[Dirtbag59]

You know they tell me we hired some guy named Matt LaFleur to coach our QB's but I'm not sure if we hired this guy or just hired Kyle Shannahan twice.



I mean seriously, can you tell me which is which?

[tryfuhl]

haha.. I knew which one Shanahan was but that is pretty close
