Wow. I didn't see this one coming at all. Thought for sure he was going to get the Raiders job since they were heavily into Saunders and their only competition for him was the Rams. Great hiring for the Skins. Wonder if this gets the Raiders interested in Sherman or Jauron.

No now Devin, don't you know it's Ok to take our time....:pissed:

I think the real losers here are the Chiefs. They lose Vermeil (obviously not their fault though), trade a 4th rounder for a coach who was possibly going to be fired, and than totally shun and lose the guy who was responsible for the great offense of the past few seasons.

Norv Turner is off the market to.The Raiders have no interest in Jaroun in fact the Bills are the only team to show interest in him.What does that tell you.If we hire Jaroun we are hwded down a familar road.New coach in 3-5 years.This guy can't coach

Wow. Great move for Gibbs and the Redskins! Gibbs certainly knows how to win - hire the best coordinators. With GW's D, if Saunders can recreat half of what he had in KC, the Redskins will be sick. I wonder how much $ he got.

:mad: Now this really is irritating. This guy was the best OC available on the market and he got picked up by the redskins. I wonder if Levy even tried to contact him? Oh well. Just another lost opportunity. This is great for the skins. You're going to see Santana Moss and company post big numbers for years to come under Saunders. Portis will also post big numbers as well, even Brunell. *sigh*

Washington is going to be nasty dangerous next year.

i agree.

Ive said it once and Ill say it again, get Mike Martz in here as O-Coordinator! Neg me if you will, but at least tell me who you think is a better offensive mind still available when you neg me...

$2 per year. $nyder does not care how much he spends since the Redsucks are is way of playing fantasy football. $nyder is the leader of the raise the stakes and turn this into baseball movement of NFL.

That is one of the drawbacks of waiting so long to hire a head coach..The best coordinators will be scooped up and what is left is mostl crap by the time we get around to it.
