Yoop that news is a couple days old. Edgar and Alex just happened. A surprise but as far as who's next?

I read that we were going to bring back Philbin and or McAdoo. So, don't be surprised if BOTH of them are coming here.

For those of us desiring accountability and change, we got it. There has been way too much thought inbreeding and I am extremely pleased change is occuring.

I think Mike McCarthy has been doing most of the coaching and is probably tired of carrying the load.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Pelissero is saying reassigned. Wilde saying might return in another capacity.

Thought McCarthy should have thought about redoing the offense coaching/structure after 2015. Even when the offense is good lately it's a struggle. Hitting a big play around here is like pulling teeth. We may be good at pulling teeth but lets try and make it a little easier from the get go.

I think McCarthy would be a better Head Coach as just that and not Head Coach/OC. It worked that way for a while because he was good at it but that has to be a hell of a lot of work. He's gotta be burning out some. That coupled with the mostly developmental coaching program with few outside voices let things get kind of stale maybe. Just have to make the right hire at OC.

Hey, if Marvin Lewis can get an extension, why would MM be fired?

Edgar ascended too quickly. Our offense has been shit since at least 15 though. Surprised too see him fired after they moved him up year after year. Fell out of love quickly. Very glad to see this though, needed to happen.

Look how long they stuck with Campen before he got it together. Same thing with our former ST coach, who never did get it together. I’d rather see Edgar calling old school WCO plays than getting shit canned. But we shall see.

Mike gets a shot at fixing this.

Gonna be tough to come back with a reassignment (read demotion) but he may catch on somewhere else.

I think part of what held GB back a bit was their loyalty to their own and those with ties to the team. I get that those are the guys you know best but it eliminates a lot of potential candidates. Kind of like the talk about bringing back Philbin and McAdoo. They couldn't cut it at the next level which is no indicator that they can't be successful in a lesser role but are they being considered simply because they know the system and if that is the case how much will really change.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe
