Dennis Green and the Redskins

[SkinsRock36]

Sources said the Redskins were convinced after meeting with Green that they could work out a system with him for making player-related decisions if they want him to be their coach.

Doesnt mean anything at all really... just politics.

if rhodes doesnt wanna coach, then forget about him. im growing more and more interested in green.

OK. I finally had to post. I'm getting a bit worried about this coaching deal. It HAS to be Dennis Green! It's not even close. This Ray Rhodes deal better go away. He doesn't even want to coach and his defenses have even gone downhill lately! Dennis Green's record is SO much better than Fassel or Rhodes!! Danny needs to step aside and give him whatever he wants! He just wants the last word on personnel decision. GIVE IT TO HIM!! When is he ever going to learn?! :banghead: Denny will be coaching in the league next year and it needs to be here!!
As far as the draft pick, Tommie Harris didn't show me much. I think it has to be Taylor. I've seen him talked about as a bigger Ronnie Lott, better than Ed Redd, Bennie Blades, etc. They say he will be the best safety in the league almost right away. And it's not like our safety spot has been strong. Winslow wouldn't be a bad choice either since we need a TE but the defense needs more work. The safety position usually gets the INT's so let's get the good one. He will go right after us if we don't take him.
I feel better now. :) GET DENNY!!

You're preaching to the choir with me. Go tell it to Daniel Snyder.

By the way, I'm merging this with one of the other 48 threads about our next head coach.*

*But not that thread about needing to hire a black head coach.

Green's definitely number one on my list. Do whatever it takes, Danny.

I would be very happy about it as well. Spence we got to give Snyder a little slack..he did give up all power to Shotty for a year. Jerry would never have done that.

Snyder hated giving up all that power to Marty. I'm sure that was the real reason Snyder fired Marty--because he wanted to be GM again. I didn't think much of Marty here, but he wasn't fired for winning 8 of his last 11 games. Snyder got rid of him, but for the wrong reason. And despite what Parcells and Jones say, I'd bet money that Parcells is effectively running the personnel department in Dallas. No coach like Bill Parcells would listen to a halfwit like Jerry Jones when Jones came in with some lamebrained idea to trade two first round picks for someone like Joey Galloway.

Normally I would cry that coaches aren't qualified to act as personnel men, but we have Vinny so.....

[TexSkin]

I see your point Spence but your point is depressing :(

[Brett A]

I too prefer Green but will be almost as happy with Fassel who has taken an average Giants team to the Sper Bowl Green lost his shot at a Super Bowl when his team lost at home to an avg Falcons team. Either way we get a PRO coach and a PRO staff and when it comes to putting a staff together Fassel may have an edge over Green.

I can see your point spence but remember Shotty did some boneheaded stuff with that power. First one that comes to mind was cutting Larry Centers for really no good reasom. I think that is why Snyder wanted the power back from him. Also I think it was a move to force Shotty to quit or be fired because Spurrier was availible. I do not think that would be the case with Green.

[SkinsCT]

Let's go Denny Green, we've gone through his resume a million times now and it is better than the other two candidates. I want a coach in here who won't ask for and be given the one-year grace period that Spurrier had. Green will come in here and demand accountability from his players and staff, and that's the first step towards building a winner.

[Monk81]

Larry centers was cut because he refused to work out with the skins in the off season. marty wanted to build a family like chemistry and treat all players the same. centers being cut was very ballsy. spurrier would never have done it. marty ran the show not the players.

he is the kind of coach we needed. all the bitching about marty was from the vets all the young guys like lavar loved him.

too bad marty didn't cut B. smith while he had the chance. all smith did was piss and moan about having to hit on the 1st day of practice it's the NFL you big crying baby.

[mhd24]

Marty has shown that he's a bad g.m in San Diego. He gave a 5 year 15 million dollar contrac (with a 3 million signing bonus) to Stephen Alexander who has been a huge bust in San Diego. He's had like 20 catches in 2 years, and missed all of this season. Marty has alienated the fan base in San Diego, and refuses to respect leaders like Seau and Harrison. Instead he cuts them, and makes thier defense look like crap. I've seen many Charger fans wanting him out.

[mhd24]

Oh, and if Marty were still here, Alexander would have gotten that contract here, and would be dead weight on our cap with his production.

[WRSK1NS]

Some people have mentioned they would want Lovey Smith but I am not sure I would want someone named Lovey. Who would the assistant coaches be....
Mr. Howell, The Skipper, Ginger, Gilligan?????

[Apache]

I think I would like to have Fassel overall.

Hey better then the clowns we had here under Spurrier. :D

[lakewinola]

Seriously where do you guys get this Dennis Green is the best coach ever stuff from? Laying down the rules, forcing people to be accountable? What the heck are you talking about? It can't be Dennis Green!!!! Please, I implore everyone on the board to read this article on your boy. Then visit the many Vikings fan sites to find out what they think of dennis green. Bottom line, he is not the answer.

[SkinsKY]

I don't know that people think that he is the best coach ever, but out of "the big three" I think he is the best option. Is he better than Spurrier? Yes. Can he take a team to the playoffs? Yes. That makes him world's better than what we have. I think Fassel would be world's better than what we have as well. Most of Denny's discipline problems came from not dealing with attitudes. What kind of attitude problems do we have on this team? Coles? Lavar? Ramsey? This is a much different team than the Vikings team he coached. If he brings in a solid, experienced DC, I think we have a good thing going. We could do a lot worse than Denny Green.

[jonesy]

Denny Green, yes the coach should pick who makes the team and who gets cut not some lamebrain suit.

Fassel does not feel right, you don't hire your rival who sucked anyway. NO FASSEL or RHODES!!!
