Redskins Hire Raheem Morris, Fire Two Others

PrintAccording to Rick Stroud of the St. Pete's Time the Redskins have hired former Tampa Bay Buccaneers' head coach Raheem Morris to coach the team's secondary. Morris is coming off his third season as the Bucs head coach and was in the running to be the defensive coordinator for the Vikings. Morris' contract can be voided if he is offered a coordinator job elsewhere in the future.
Also, Jason Reid of the Washington Post is reporting Redskins head coach, Mike Shanahan has sent two coaches packing tonight in Ashburn. Wide Receiver coach Keenan McCardell and safeties coach Steve Jackson have been let go. Defensive Coordinator, Jim Haslett has been vocal about change in the defensive secondary and it seems as if Jackson is a casualty of that change. Jackson has been with the Redskins since 2004, while McCardell was a more recent addition when he retired from playing in 2010.

Glad that we finally got rid of Steve Jackson but I'm surprised we fired McCardell
I thought our receivers played really well this season considering our QB’s and the young wr’s seemingly were developing
agreed

i guess, i'm hoping Shanny brings in someone new and not another one of his retreads for the spot

I would love to bring him in

Perhaps McCardell just simply failed miserably in his 1st ever coaching job.
WRs regreesed and the youngsters didn’t develop. Simply as that,,

Very disappointed about the McCardell firing
I thought he had a lot of potential as a position coach, and considering what he’s had to work with the last two year’s I think he deserves an A+.

Yea but at the same time the receivers that have looked good are the savy veterans.

like Anthony Armstrong in 2010?
seriously though, when in two years all you have to work with are Moss, Armstrong, Galloway, Roydell Williams, Austin, Banks, Gaffney, Stallworth, Anderson, Hankerson and Paul i’d say it is a pretty decent job.
Our receivers might not have been great, but it was what we were working with. I could understand if we had made a big WR push via FA or draft and they didn’t perform.
Maybe they are blaming Hanks slow development on him, but overall I liked what I saw out of Hank (and that was with the Beckster throwing him most of those passes) and think he would have been nice down the stretch.
I’ll be real interested to hear the reasons why, and the replacement.

I agree, its hard for me to comment on it really. I don't know to properly judge a WR coach.
He did have a short offseason with the rooks this year. But I really thought Brandon Banks had Megatron potential and he was never able to tap into it

haha exactly
to me this WR corps exceeded expectations. Only way McCardell deserved to be fired is if he was campaigning for his former teammate Vincent Jackson to be the Redskins top priority in free agency.

the coaches seemed to indicate
that more than a few of the interceptions were due to some WRs doing the wrong thing…perhaps that’s an implication of his coaching ability?

+1
Our receivers have made strides he knows what he’s doing. Kind of shocked to be honest.

Is anybody else excited that we have some news?
I think Raheem will make a difference in the secondary.
Raheem the Dream, get rid of Reed the Cream.

I'm glad he's here, I like his energy and relationship with his players...
I’m hoping this strengthens my Dre Kirkpatrick prediction! Haslett requested secondary changes, and they seem to be taking shape.

agree
his relationship/teaching abilities will help us a lot…the young guys will love him, I remember ronde barber commenting about how good of a coach he was back when he was their secondary coach..i wonder when they say he’s been hired to coach secondary if that has any implication on slowick too, or just an ambiguous term used for his position as safety coach?
As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.

That's not happening.
If we sign Matt Flynn then I could buy it, but the offense needs so much it just doesn’t make sense.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have Shanny's sucessor.
In 3 years of course.
Our young WRs are not developing and cant get on the field. Sure Hank got action but he was a a top.college talent and it took mid year for Hank.to.play.

i agree, i think our young WRs were too slow to develop for shanahan's liking

Did McCardell have any say in player evaluation?
Draft and Preseason. We did keep a ton of WRs, and they could be holding him accountable
typically they can argue for a player
but the HC and OC and DC are going to figure out roster construction. Given the fact that Shanny was either related or worked with the majority of the other offensive coaches I’d guess that McCardell wouldn’t have the pull to keep a Stallworth over another lineman or something like that.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
yeah but that happens all around the league each year
so what it took him 6 weeks in a year without a camp. If he played the rest of the way and maintained his yards per game average (which was arguably down due to Beck) he would have ranked 4th among rookie WR’s.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
Doughty, Barnes, Gomes
last year Macho Harris…
Not much to work with…but as I asked about McCardell, maybe Jackson was one of the people pushing for Otagwe and Wilson, and this is part of leadership holding them accountable…
OJ was haslett's guy from the rams
and I think Wilson was playing good ball by the end of the year…i think jackson’s problem was the lack of development of the younger players, and it also seemed that our safeties would continually make the same mistakes, which reflects on his coaching I believe…but this is pure speculation on my part
As for me, all I know is that I know nothing.

Jackson was just the safeties coach, remember

agreed i thought Wilson was by far our best Defensive back
and agree also that Atogwe was Haslett’s guy.

Bob SLowik is still the DBs coach…whats going on with him?

He lives in my neighborhood
His wife is still around and I don’t see them packing up to leave yet, so I would assume he’s not going anywhere. Plus, he’s one of Shanahan’s boys, so I doubt he will be fired. I think he was the d coordinator in denver with shanahan for a couple of those years.
Hey Parks....
Does this quench you argument against RGIII being a fit? (Serious question, not a “gotcha” moment)
http://www.hogshaven.com/2012/1/11/2700311/lets-dispell-this-now
Redskins @RGIII - 2012
Please give it up... it's just my opinion and this isn't relevant to the post.
No, Shanahan saying media savvy things and referencing ancient HOF QBs does not quench my argument. I read that last week, it’s just Shanny being Shanny. I could be completely wrong about Shanny’s view on RG3, we’ll find out in April. Until then let it rest.

Just asked a question dude.
I know you have been at it with some folks on the blog as recently as today, but it was merely out of curiosity. Don’t get sensitive on my now….it’s a long off season. Cheers

Sorry didn't mean to convey in that context, I know you weren't trying to bust my chops.

Would have been nice to get the Saints WR coach before he took the Tulane job.
Redskins @RGIII - 2012
Could be
a number of reasons why they fired McCardell. Maybe they think he’s part of the reason for Hankerson’s slow develpoment, maybe he doesn’t evaluate game tape well, maybe his breath stinks. Who knows? He’s a receivers coach, who cares. Name another receiver’s coach without googling it.
As for his body of work the only WR that stepped up was Gaffney, all the other’s regressed, Moss and Armstrong ecspecially. Hankerson just impressed because Mikyle Shanahan actually put him in the game and made it a point in the gameplan to get him the ball.
Disappointed in McCardell being let go
However, it WOULD be nice to have Henry Ellard come in as his replacement.

Finally a secondary coach who will stop holding Reed Doughty from reaching his potential.
Troy Aikman is the greatest announcer of all time.
Still doesn't change the fact D.Hall needs to go.
But i do hope they stop the notion of making each corner stay on one side of the field and give the WR an island to work with before being covered by one of the leprechaun CB the skins have.
good points, but I think that's on Haslett.
"Please don't dominate the rap, Jack, if you got nothin' new to say."-Robert Hunter
Darell Green has stated he wanted to be a defensive coach in some capacity
That would be pretty cool to be honest. not only was he the skins first real shut down corner he is in good enough shape to strap on the pads and show em how its done. haha
change is always good
now with a new defensive coach i would keep LANDRY
I was moving for a couple of days
Did I miss the anouncement that Danny Smith got fired or did he survive another round of firings? If so I have to hand it to the guy. He’s like a cockroach in a nuclear storm.

Like this Move
We get a young coach who has been to the top and who should be hungry to fight his way back to a head coaching job in the NFL
If Darrell Green wants to coach...
let’s bring him in as a WR coach…he can show them how to get over on a CB haha
That's who I wanted to coach the secondary
But I’m pretty happy with Morris. I thought he had a good relationship with players but they did straight give up on him this past season
This just makes me believe even more that Kyle is going to be our new head coach in a few years
Coaching Staff
The Shanahans need to fire themselves!!!!!
