Richard is my favorite. I see Zimmer in him. Guys will want to play for him. He helped build the Legion of Boom by putting the best players in the best spots to make plays. Extremely engaging and fiery on the field. I don't think the head coaches job is mostly scheming, I think it's motivating. Marvin lost his energy there. The good new is that both Hue and Gruden have that. So does Bill O'Brien. 

 

John Defelipo is rising for me. I think he ends up replacing O'Brien in Houston to develop Watson. He is more of a tactician I think. 

 

After watching some videos on Pete Carmichael I am not sure he will fit.  I didn't have a great feeling about him as a motivator. 

 

4 days to go. Who is at the top of your list?

No one that MB will probably hire. 

 

Lap mentioned a hypothetical today of Marvin as HC, Hue as OC, and Vance as DC.

 

I’d pass out from the nausea.

Gruden wanted Guenther in DC for DC so he's likely staying if that prediction comes true. 

 

Wouldn't surprise me if Gruden isn't here or DC that he is OC in Tampa for his brother. 

 

I'd be curious to see if Cousins will be packaged in some way. I'd take him over Dalton as a player. He's better. But Dalton is decent and cheap.

Or you could just light up a joint and listen to AC/DC.

Agreed, but I'd also keep guenther and hope vance could still come back in some capacity.

 

I'd like to see munchak as our next HC if it's not Marvin. I think he will fix the O-line quicker than anyone and I think, guenther and vance could keep the defense solid.

Couldn't you just hire the best head coaching candidate possible and have him hire a good OL coach?

 

I don't get the love for Guenther.

The guy has had one top 10 DVOA defense in his 4 seasons as D-Coordinator. 

Zimmer had two top 10 finishes in his last two years.

He took Zimmer's defense and just made it a little bit worse. 

Couple it with the fact that Burfict and Pacman went back off the rails when he took over...

One coach to take off the hot seat, if he was ever on it: #Redskins coach Jay Gruden. There is a deep understanding of the injuries they battled and how he and his staff kept it together. Heading into Week 17, no plans for major changes in Washington, sources say.
