Redskins hire new DL coach

[Spence]

Read all about it (http://www.hailredskins.com/?p=401).

[chrisbcbu]

I think its a good hire. The DL in Chicago when Blache was DC there was pretty good. I just hope that we draft DL this time around.

[Redskin4Life]

All signs pointing to Mooch in DC:

After his retirement, Brooks worked as an assistant coach with the Rams for eight seasons (1983-90). His resume also includes stops at Green Bay (1994-98), Seattle (1999-2002), Chicago (2003), Detroit (2004-2005), and Arizona (2006).

[JsMaViSd]

oh yes..

plz bring mooch

[Biggie]

No other team in the league fills out their entire staff before hiring a head coach. Not one.

If you're going to hire Mooch, DO IT ALREADY!

they can't...he is contractually obligated to the NFL Network until after the Superbowl, and that is why they are waiting and hiring staff now IMO

[redskin_rich]

[OCSkinzFan]

Steve Mariucci; secret candidate?

[OCSkinzFan]

Mariucci served as quarterbacks coach for the Green Bay Packers (1992-1995), during the early years of Brett Favre's NFL career.

Ah, that's a good point. Never mind.

He can terminate his contract with a phone call from his agent. He withholds his services for one week and they don't send him his last paycheck. People bail out of media contracts all the time. Tuna may hold the world's record.

If he is going to be the new HC, he needs to get started on cleaning up this mess and mending fences with the players, coaches, media, and fans ASAP.

He has already missed out on scouting the seniors at the various bowls.

This is dysfunctional.

[ChapelHillMatt]

I'll take Mooch over Fassel.....please let it be true!

Do you think he would be ok with not hiring his own staff though? That's what concerns me more than anything. I've never seen this done before, unless he has already agreed to it, it seems like Snyder is going over his head hiring all the assistants.

If it is Mooch, you can bet he has been involved every step of the way. Keep in mind, Snyder was at the NFC championship game in GB. We know, becuase his plane was tracked there. At the time everyone speculated it was to interview Fassel who was doing radio. Guess who else was in GB for NFL Network?

The NFl has a vested interest in the NFL network, same with Snyder, I am sure Snyder does not want to tackle with the new comissioner right now.

If mooch is the hire and the assistants are all resigned I have no real problem here

i totally agree with you

i will be amazed (but not surprised because snyder is capable of anything)
if it turns out not to be mooch

one other factor.. he is still under contract to DETROIT until after the superbowl. that is not chump change to walk away from for just a week..

[ChiefPowhatan17]

This seems like a good hire, but this must mean that we already have our HC. they just have not announced it. I don't think that we would hire everyone, without any opinion of a head coach.

[colkurtz]

You don't burn your bridges with the NFL Channel over a week - especially if you've already approved all the DC, OC and DL coaching positions anyway.

Media gigs have lots of competition - at some point in the future he will want to be a talking head again.

[VegasSkinsFan]

Sorry to change topics, but did byner get fired? If so, did we get a new rb coach. I read on kffl that byner was interviewing in tampa. GO SKINS !!!!

Byner's contract expires this week and to my knowledge, no effort has been made to retain him.

[VegasSkinsFan]

Thanks for the update. GO SKINS !!!!

[shally]

from what i read, he was offered a 1 year extension.. which is viewed as encouragement to go elsewhere

Since Byner is gone does that mean we can re-address the Lumsden issue?

(sound of an ICBM launch from CNYSKINS in Syracuse heard in background)

[skinsfan36]

sweet time to hire mooch on monday

[Syllable]

Pure speculation --- I think Mooch requested to finish off his NFL Network Gig for one reason or another, and that he is ok'ing the staffing changes in the background too keep his name out of the Media while he waits for the SB to finish.

Do those guys who are tracking Redskins One have the abiltity to tap Mooch's phone?

[EddieAlbania]

We tried going back to Joe Gibbs/Joe Bugel power running; that didn't work..

So then we tried the spread, sort of, with Al Saunders (under Gibbs' direction); that didn't work..

So now, we're going to try Mooch, a disciple of a disciple of Bill Walsh and try the West Coast Offense...

Heck, why not see if you can lure Tom Osborne away from his job as AD of Nebraska, and try Portis, Betts, and Campbell in the triple option

[NCskinsfanatic]

So according to PFT...Brooks wasnt hired as new DL coach.

Also if you scroll a lil' further down they speculate that we may be trying to make a run at Bellicheck...lol.

No one knows what the heck is going on with our franchise.... possibly Snyder and Son doesn't either.

Snyder and Son...lol. Snyder can be Fred and that would make Vinny Lamont, all they need is the Sanford and Son theme playing when they introduce the new HC..."buh da dudda, buh dadudda dudda du, buh da dudda" :lol1:

I can hear it now....

Vinny: So Dan, I got Meeks to come in again and I told Fassell that we'll talk to him soon.
Snyder: Vinny, you big dummy. I told you I wanted Mooch.

i mentioned this in an earlier thread but no one paid any mind to it because everyone thinks a mooch hiring would be delayed because of his NFL Network gig. mooch still gets paid the balance of his contract by detroit because he hasnt taken another job since being fired

[James F. Quinn]

Shally, it may not seem like much, but when you are starting from near scratch with a dysfunctional FO, and a coaching staff and player roster in turmoil, losing that extra week may be a luxury Mooch can ill afford.

If the team is still struggling comig out of the exhibitions, don't you think everyone would like to have that week back?


And do you think that Steve would suffer financially in any way by going to work for Dan Snyder in Week zero?

There would be a bucket o' cash open on Redskin One.

Not that I really give a bleep about Steve Mariucci as HC. Just another retread for Tony K to fall all over.

I would be amazed if his contract did not have an easy out clause WRT a head coachig job. If it doesn't, he must be using Lavar's agent.

I am sure it does...it doesn't mean he has to use it. Or should use it.

He is freaking covering the Superbowl. You can quit sure, but not during the Superbowl, and I am sure the NFL is asking Snyder to be patient until after the Superbowl too. Isn't there an unofficial moratorium on during the two week break anyways?

[bergiemoore]

It's not a question of whether or not he is allowed by his contract to take a coaching job. It is well established that he can, as can any of the former NFL guys that are on the NFL network. The question is whether or not Mooch would want to piss off the network guys, and make things harder for himself if/when he wants to come back into broadcasting.

[VegasSkinsFan]

An article on redskins.com mentions how blache believes corners are important to the defense. I hope this wont mean no dline help this offseason. Talks about how good corners give the dline more time to get to the qb. It would make most sense to not only have good corners, but also have a good dline at the same time. GO SKINS !!!!!!

[Hr fan]

A question. Why was our new Dline coach out of football for a year? Was he too good for the positions offered, or was he not offered any positions?

I am wondering the same thing myself. Anyone know?

He coached with the Cards in 06 and they made changes to the staff when Grimm and co came in replacing D.Green.

Whoa, we're in trouble if all the assistants are resigned!! ;)

A more important question is what he even hired?!?!? ESPN is saying that he wasn't yet...

not offical

that is interesting..

if spagnuolo gets the nod as HC, it would be very interesting to see how involved he is in this pick, as the d line is his special interest as well.
might be one of the few picks left over for the new HC (including RB coach)
