Redskins did in fact interview Jim Caldwell today, and are to interview Perry Fewell tomorrow.
Here's something interesting.

Lot of freezing rain in the area yesterday morning- maybe the cable was out in Ashburn from 1-4:30 and they missed the Bengals-Chargers game?
Zimmer would be my first choice if he'd bring Hue Jackson as OC

Read somewhere today I think that Zimmer wanted Hue Jackson as his OC last time he interviewed for HC vacancies...so it's certainly possible.
I thought Jackson did well calling plays in Oakland, over his head in a Head Coaching position but a good OC

The more I read, the less I want Gruden and more I want Zimmer. I want an honest coach who can set the right tone for the team and organization. I think it is less about X's and O's and more about motivation and commitment and getting that out of the players. The X's and O's part can be made up by good coordinators. There are a lot of good D coordinators available (I'd be fine with Morris as a DC too). Heck, if they hire Zimmer, I wonder if there is a chance they can get Gruden as OC. Another playoff loss and the offense was bad and Hue Jackson seems to be getting a lot of praise, maybe they bump up Jackson to OC. Probably wishful thinking though.
Franklin intrigues me, but he might be in over his head. This isn't Vanderbilt.

That's the stuff you focus on for the OC and the QB coach. The HC needs to have a broader view.

I really am baffled by the hate Griffin is getting. I guess Cam Newton had to deal with it pre-draft and last season. I would hate to think that it's race related in this day and age but why isn't it enough critisize his on field play, it's always gotta come down to their character.

I am siding with Connskins on this one. The biggest shortcoming of Mike Shanahan was managerial. Managing controversies. Managing egos. Managing the owner and GM. Managing his coaching staff. Mike and Kyle were fine on X's and O's, but they could not manage the people around the team or the team itself.Warrior said:
I think that is the most important role for the Head Coach. But he needs to get good coordinators to delegate to. Of course, one of the really important interview questions is who can you get for your staff.
Howie Long said to Jimmy Johnson that Chip Kelley reminds him of Johnson because he connects with all of the players. Some one else said the Riley Cooper situation required real leadership and Kelley provided it.

That being said, I'm one of those people that believe in the "when there is smoke, there is fire" type guys. The first news of RGIII's no so glowing news didn't sway me at all, but now I am really starting to wonder because if he was such an upstanding individual as we were led to believe before draft, then why is there so much fuel for this fire that keeps burning? Why weren't other players upset when he got benched for the rest of the season? Okay, maybe they can't call out the move in public, but they sure enough didn't need to endorse the HC by saying stuff that 99% of the locker room supported the coach. Anyway, I have a feeling that there is a fire burning under all this smoke, but I hope it is a small one that is being blown out of portion opposed to big fire that has only an inch of smoke covering it.

I think Mike Zimmer is a coach of both....he clearly knows his X's and O's and his defense was top 3 without the best DT's and one of their top CB's in the lineup for much of the season. The thing that is drawing me to him is that players seem to LOVE him and are willing to put it all on the line for him. That is motivation in a nutshell!!! So, maybe this guy is a 2 for 1 deal...get leader/commitment and X's & O's.Warrior said:

Not happening with getting Zimmer and Gruden. If we hire Zimmer, then another team will hire Gruden to be their HC. Now Zimmer with Hue Jackson as OC is very possible.

There may be a little truth sprinkled in here and there, but overall I agree. If this came from guys like Russell, Paulsen, Kiem, or Maske, I'd put some more stock in it. But from Jenkins? I don't buy it. Where was all this last year when they were winning?Sally Jenkins is Shanahan's mouthpiece. It is known.

Yeah, this is pretty much the way I feel about a head coach also. They have to run an entire team, and if they're in there doing all the X's and O's they're micromanaging one part and neglecting other parts. What's critical to it working is having good coordinators, who can both communicate what they want from players, why, and can get players to buy into it.

Keim said this morning on radio that he'd heard nothing like from the locker room and staff this during the season, and that "he would have" if it was going on. He and Andy Pollin are pretty convinced it came directly or indirectly from Shanahan.There may be a little truth sprinkled in here and there, but overall I agree.

Sally Jenkins, I don't know. I do like some pieces she writes. But you have to remember she defended Joe Paterno and Lance Armstrong up to the end. It came out that Paterno had lied to a grand jury and Armstrong had been doping all along, so she got sucked in believing them and was wrong. I think this is a case of her being sucked in by Shanahan and believing him.
It was a lousy article, didn't even say the source was a player, and used a link about Garcon to supposedly prove Garcon was fed up with Griffin. When you click the link and read it, it shows nothing of the sort.
And yes, to those wondering: Shanahan really is that vindictive. He'll go to his grave blaming other people for his failure with the Redskins. Angry baby stays angry.

I think almost all the DC area people covering the Skins recently have wised up to Shanahan. The team collapse and the last month of the season filled with leaks that obviously came from Shanahan wised them up.

Interesting stuff from Cooley about Shanahan not trusting the Redskins scouting department and doing his own scouting.

Salary cap situation 2014
I see some names near the top of the list who shouldn't be near the top of the list: Morgan, Carriker, Bowen, Chester.
I see some names near the top of the list who shouldn't be near the top of the list: Morgan, Carriker, Bowen, Chester.
I am not sure how accurate this is. I saw in other places that the Redskins had a lot of money to spend. But the list has the cap figure at $111M. The list includes Orapko, who I thought is a free agent. I though Fletcher was on a 1 year deal also.
Finally, how does Josh Morgan have a contract with a $9M salary. He was coming off a major surgery when he signed two years ago. I can't believe there was a lot of competition to sign him.
http://www.thehogs.net/washington-redskins/salary.php
This site shows $9M in cap space.
It also has no 2014 cap hit for Orapko, Fletcher, and Morgan.

This is like the journalistic equivalent of bile after the dry heaves (bile, cowardice and yellow journalism are all the same color, too!).Keim said this morning on radio that he'd heard nothing like from the locker room and staff this during the season, and that "he would have" if it was going on.

I guess now that Shanahan is unemployed, he has even more time to plant petty disinformation/smear campaigns.

By the way it is very nice to see the Redskins are talking more frequently to local media now that Shanahan's gone.
