OT: 2024 Washington Commanders thread: change we can believe in!

[Ridley Simon]

Hard not to feel that way right now.

Watch them hire EB…I’m almost hoping for some dark horse college candidate out of nowhere.



This is unfair…he didn’t have a shot at being THE guy. They could have done that but instead decided to nuzzle Rivera’s balls instead of making the hard decision in season.

I’d be happy w Pete C or Vrabel. Very.

 

[hockeykicker]

imo if it was going to be quinn they would have hired him by now

 

[pman25]

Seriously what happened with Vrabel, he getting an interview?

Peters’ good buddy hates Vrabel. That isn’t happening.

Losing out on Johnson, Macdonald, and Morris is pretty shitty.

Everyone had DC as the 1 or 2 top destination. Odd.

I have him about 5th on my list now and maybe lower

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

EB is still under contract make him ride it out a year as the HC and then walk away next year unless the team takes off. Try again. You sign Quinn and you're stuck with another 3-5 year Rivera. Take Kyle Shannahan away from Quinn and he's 24-29 as a head coach.

He doesn’t have a contract to be a HC for a year, and I seriously doubt he’s taking a one year lame duck job.

 

[ynotcaps]

After reading everybody's takes from this disappointing day-plus, I've decided that I'm no longer going to want.

**** everything. We're all going to die.

(And I hope Ben Johnson catches the syphilis.)

 

[EYEuhFRAYtee]

So the music stops and the Commanders are the only team left without a chair.

Feelin' Redskinny

 

[Roric]

Any coach that is scared off by a rebuild with the #2 pick (huge potential stud rookie QB that he can shape) 90 mil in cap, a bunch of picks, a very accomplished new GM AND no more snyder is a f***ing p***y that can't handle any pressure. Needs a cushy environment to feed off of. f*** em

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

My power rankings for next Skins coach:
1 Vrabel
2 Bill
3 EB
4 Pete Carroll
5 Wild Card any one better then Quinn
6 Quinn

 

[Roric]

Get weaver from HOU

Wondering if there are too many cooks in the kitchen when it comes to being more decisive in the coaching search.

Good point. It’s also a new group so they were probably learning a lot about the league during the interview process so didn’t want to rush it. Problem is it slowed them down a touch most likely. End of the day they were drinking their own Kool-Aid thinking they had Johnson in the bag and he pulled the rug out. It could just as easily be a blessing in disguise if BJ is actually a softy and whoever they bring in does yeoman’s work. Time will tell.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

League off-season does not officially start until the end of the Super Bowl. There is no rush until then.

Coaches are putting their staffs together, though. They’re already dead last, and will keep falling further behind if they wait until the SB.

If they literally had no backup plan after BJ, then it’s a big screw up. If it’s DQ, then just get it done, and maybe there’s still some young, bright QB Coach/Passing Game Coordinator they can nab for OC.

The writing is all over the wall. It was a big screwup, and we need to reevaluate everything. No need to rush into Dan Quinn to save a few days of planning.

 

[Corby78]

In all fairness Washington has been a place where coaches go to die for a while. Not since the Shanny tree anyway. Yes “he who shall not be named” is gone but the stink isn’t quite gone yet

 

[John Price]

nfl doesn't want them going past this week, so they must make a hire this week pretty much

 

[John Price]

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

F
that
guy….

I will forever root for his failure until the end of his NFL days.

 

[trick9]

Doesn't sound like a guy very confident of his own coaching abilities.

Enjoy Detroit, then.

Quinn wasn’t my first choice but I don’t get the blind hate for him. He obviously did great things and set a new league standard for defense with Seattle. Dallas has had a top five defense every year since he got there and he’s developed some All-Pro players in Jerry World. He had a lot of success with Atlanta until the roster fell apart. With the Falcons he took a team that went 4-12 and 6-10 the two years before he got there and went 8-8, 11-5, and 10-6 his first three years with the latter two seasons ending in the playoffs to the team that won the Super Bowl that year. His last two seasons weren’t great but Atlanta hasn’t had a winning season since Quinn left as coach so I don’t think you can put all the blame on him.

We all wanted a young offensive guy to be the HC but Quinn is not Jim Zorn. He’s a very good coach who has made his teams better at every stop and if he builds a solid staff around him I don’t see why he couldn’t have success. I’m pretty sure I’d rather have him than any of the first time coaching candidates still in the mix.

I’d be happy with Weaver too. Glenn I’m not sure I get the hype on… he may be a leader of men but the Lions defense has been ass under him so that is a big red flag for me.

He’s probably fine..will coach up a capable defensive squad I’m sure, just after hearing “no retreads” and the league’s direction towards younger offensive minds at the helm, nothing super attractive about Dan Quinn for me. He would probably be fine…but I was hoping for more than just fine…

Quinn it is:
