Any names floated as new owner? Until then….
Art Briles is not coming to DC.
Art Briles is not walking thru that door.
I have met Art Briles and you, sir, are no Art Briles.
We're thru the looking glass here, people!
all landover coaching staff fired
what a horrible year…if you'd asked people before the preseason what their record would be i wonder how many people would have said 3-13?

quarterback turns out to be a joke . . . fire all the coaches. why do folks support a company like the nfl that makes billions and pays no taxes, anyway?

I mean, next thing you know, people are going to want to tax the money I pay for regatta sponsorships.

No one.
Good riddance. They've already interviewed a few folks for the job. Hopefully they jump on a good candidate in the early going or else we'll end up in another Jim Zorn situation. *shudder*

I would have said 2-14. But in the NFL one team has to lose and one team has to win. So in order to have winning teams you have to have your losers as well. No big deal.
I think the Landover NFL team should change their name to the Washington Generals.
maybe the name itself, is a curse . . . and all the people have been right all these years to change it. they sure do suck for bizarro world reasons ever since i have been alive, except for that one superbowl.
8 head coaches in 15 years under Danny Boy - not exactly the recipe for success

this is a stupid statistic shemp and you know it!
the reason they've had so many coaches is cause they've been losing.. i mean the browns have had a ton of coaches too.. when you suck you make changes… you don't just keep sucking… if you suck for two years under coach a you try somebody new…thats just the way the business is.. you don't say "hey we really have sucked the past 10 years under this guy but lets keep going with him cause that's a recipe for success!"
if they'd been winning they'd have far fewer coaches
in other words, its not the number of coaches being high having caused losing but rather losing having caused the number of coaches to be high
or does anybody think they should have kept shanahan? and I have to say Snyder's problem hasn't been not sticking with coaches… Gibbs basically quit on him….Zorn just kind of sucked and had to go….
the only two coaches that arguably should have been kept longer, in the Snyder era, are Norv Turner (who at the time when he was let go seemed to kind of suck.. I think people forget…he made some serious mistakes.. I think he got better later) and Shottenheimer
its really hard to say what the problem is..its just a clusterfuck of issues…coachingwise he's tried just about everything….he should have made that defensive guy gregg williams head coach (yeah the bounty guy)..but other than that?
i guess the mistake with the salary cap was a big whooper… i still don't quite get what they did that was wrong
Perhaps the talent evaluator needs to be someone other than the owner. When's the last time this team had a legitimate GM?
