Blache has been in the NFL for 21 seasons as a defensive coach, serving as the Redskins' defensive coordinator/defensive line coach for the past four seasons.
Zorn joins the Redskins from the Seattle Seahawks, where for the past seven seasons he served as quarterbacks coach.[/quote]
Someone tell me what the fvck is Danny Snyder doing?? First the fool spends foolish amounts of money to lure sub par free-agents to his team. He's the George Steinbrenner of football...which is probably why the Redskins aint shit now. You can buy super bowls.
But thats not even my problem with him, turn your attention to the red part of the article. This fool has no head coach yet he is hiring assistants n coordinators..wtf is that. The head coach's job is to lay down the philosophy to guide his team and deal with personnel. The head coach rarely is coaching at all....at least that is what my philosophy of coaching is.
But if he's already putting assistant and coordinators in place, he's forcing the new Head Coach (whoever that may be) to run the team with coaches that he probably wouldn't have chosen to be on his staff and who's to say that these assistants and coordinators know the system and philosophy that the new Head Coach may want to install?? This is a set up for failure down the road.
Point is: To all you Redskins fans, don't expect much from your team in the coming years. This new Head Coach (whoever he's gonna be) is gonna be nothing but a mere puppet of Danny Snyder. And the last time i check Danny is an businessman...not a football guru.

Lister at least George Steinbrenner keeps them in the playoffs and gives them a chance to win while being an arse. Danny boy meddles spends money on free agents that don't pan out so they can miss the playoffs or make them and go out in the 1st roungd. He also refuses to hire real football people, build through the draft or keep coaches around long enough to have stability. he paid Al Saunders 2.5 million dollars not to coach since dude wasn't allowed to really call the plays. How much sense does that make? Glad they aren't my team. LOL

People like Danny Boy and Al Davis are too hasty. As a coach, it takes agood amount of time before you can get a team right. Every coach has his own ideas of who and what type of players he feels will work in the system. So you got the give a coach, IMO, at least 4 years to turn the ship around.
Look at the Packers (who happens to be the only publicly owned team in the NFL), they gave Mike a chance, stuck by him and in time he was able to get the players he felt needed to be on the team, and they were one win short of a Super Bowl bid. Like i said before Danny is fucking with the team too much, he should've gotten a coach in there way earlier than this and allowed him to sow what he'll eventually reap. The business side of this ugly...i dont even know why i'm in this business. Well yes i do...LOL

Lister, I agree that it is STUPID to hire assistant coaches before hiring a head coach!! Probably one of the reasons why Joe Gibbs left. Don't go comparing Snyder to George Steinbrenner though...last time I checked, THE BOSS spends a lot of his money in the right way and has MULTIPLE world titles to show for it...Snyder has been lost in the sauce for years! You can't even compare him to Al Davis because the Raiders have been to a SB this decade. The other three NFC East teams have won the division and 2 of them have been in Super Bowls since he's taken over! He got lucky by talking a HOF'er to coming back to the team, but now he's all outta luck now...

Football is DEFINITELY a sport where you can't necessarily buy championships. You can't just buy a high-powered team of coaches and expect everything to gel.
I bet he hires Jim Fassel or Buddy Ryan or somebody like that

Buddy? Whoa, I hope not! (LOL) Jim Fassel would be a steal for the 'Skins, but knowing Snyder's track record, I'm not sure he's that smart...

If he brings in Buddy, i'm moving the Canada. From my point of view the Redskins needs some new blood, some new young blood. That was one of the problems with Joe Gibbs coming back, he offense may have worked back in the day but he struggled running that H-back flex type offense when he came out of retirement.
And if he doesnt want to go new, Brian Billick is still out there. I dunno why he got the boot anyway...only the Ravens will fire the QB who led them to and won them a Super Bowl....along with the coach.

As a skins fan for many years I can say I have zero clue to what the owner is doing. This is why Coach Gibbs leaving the team was bigger than most casual fans would realize. Before Gibbs came back the defense was terrible, offense no better with no QB or sense of direction. When Gibbs came back the defense got way better, the offense had a plan of what it wanted to do and the organization was getting stable.
And as for this offense not working or what not, it may not have been as "modern" as folks are used to seeing but Portis did run for 1,000 yards more than once and when the offense is ran correctly it DOES work. Think not? Well you have seen this offense before in different variations. Norv Turner, Mike Martz when he was in St, Louis, Charlie Weis still at ND and when he was in NE. So one cannot down the offense like that.

Come on man, Gibbs struggled working that offense. That offense you see them running this and last year was a modified version of the H-Back Offense.....that aint the same shit he ran with Doug Williams back in the day. Point is you gotta tweek your system because things are always changing.
And now that you speak of Clinton Portis...as a Bronco fan, let me thanks Danny boy and all his fans for sending us Champ. Portis was a product of the system..everyone will soon figure that out.

Tweak yes but completly turn over no. The only difference from then to now is how defenses react to the offense. Back when doug was playing it was read and react, now its attack and that attacking is what would alter the running lanes. Usually you could run play action or spread the ball out but when you don't have a solid QB with experience, its hard to do that all day long. Saying the offense doesn't work is false because it does work, Todd Collins proved it works just fine when ran correctly.
As for champ, i am glad to see it helped the broncos stop the run and make the playoffs. As for Portis being a product of the system, thats debatable but I can understand the thought.

Hey now, i didn't say a complete turn over. I just said tweak....which is what he did, eventually. I don't expect the man to stop running his system....that would be like Mike Shanahan not running the zone.
But now to your lil reference above...Well what ya want me to say? What you said was right, we couldn't stop the run nor did we make the playoffs. Did you expect me to argue with you?? I have no problem saying the Redskins had a better season than the Broncos, and they went to the playoffs, we didn't end of story.
I was simply saying the Champ Bailey for Clinton Portis trade was kinda one-sided. The Redskins, IMHO, gave up more than they received. I mean just look at the trade...but kudos to you for the lil slick remark in regards to the Broncos....Yep Yep

lol I was messing with you dog about the Denver thing
As for the trade, well yeah it could have been seen that way mostly because Arington did not pan out so it looked like we got screwed seeing as it would have cost us double to keep both a big time CB and big time LB.

Yea no doubt about the joke...no worries here.
But i say what i said about the Champ because....if you look at it. You could find a decent RB (well the Broncos can find anyone ;D) to use on a offense....but a shut down cover corner like Champ is hard to come by. And you find find a good LB too...but not a corner like Champ.

The Skins need receivers too. They've taken the Seahawks' approach to receiving, having nothing but little receivers. Campbell needs another receiver to take the pressure/defensive focus off Moss.
