Skins hire Bill Callahan to 3-yr deal as OL coach

I

I was fine with him leaving but I didn't want him going to the skins...

I would rather he had gone some place else but it is what it is. I don't begrudge him for taking the job. Evidently he liked what the skins were offering and took it.

He probably also went there because he's a friend of Gruden. He coached under his brother for years.

 

[Miller]

He really helped develop this line so that's not good but out of all the coaches im not too freaked.

Washington with or without Callahan = No threat

I agree that is unless Callahan is magic and can turn RGIII into a QB, no one else has managed to do that.

That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I say bring it on!

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

ugh he knows all our secrets.

why take a similar position with another team. there must be some bad blood for him being demoted last year.

Washington with or without Callahan = No threat

Except that so show they are usually a threat... Drives me nuts

This

It has everything to do with it IMO.

I had already predicted that the Skins would sign either Free or Parnell. Now it's almost guaranteed.

Callahan was a big part of the Oline success. However, we did have the talent to go along with it. Hope Pollack is able to continue and surpass the work Callahan did. Really hope this comes out in our favor.

Callahan had something to do with getting that talent. I'm sure he had much input in drafting our current OL.

That and a sense that he is " wanted".....

He also had input in bring on Livings and Bernadeau in 2012 to be our starting guards. For what its worth.

Did a great job developing them, no argument, but not sure how much input he had after that episode.

I for one would not be sad if Callahan left. He had 3 Pro Bowlers on the OL and they struggled with blitz pickup and I have yet to see him really develop anyone. Ready for some new blood

some of it was recognition by the OL and missed assignments but a lot of it was on Romo(atleast 50%) of the time,He held the ball too long and missed open guys when they blitzed.this is the no 1 thing i would work on if i was Garrett..good blitzing teams can really bring our offense to a halt.

I guess our OL will forget how to block next year. Cya Callahan we won't be missing you one bit.

I can't decide which is better -- Parnell as their starter or as our backup. If we got someone like JPP and lined him up over Parnell it would be a laugh riot.

There weren't many choices as far as O-Linemen is concerned in free agency in 2012 given our cap situation. Besides, Bern wasn't a bad pickup for the contract he signed.

I doubt we would have drafted Fred if Callahan wasn't the OL coach here.

This is the stuff that makes me hate the Skins! Homey runs out of Dallas to be with the Skins, same position? Really?

I truly hope to bury Washington next season!
