Redskins Linebacker Coach Lou Spanos To Be Hired As UCLA Defensive Coordinator

PrintESPN980 just tweeted about an LA Times story that says Redskins linebacker coach Lou Spanos will be hired as the UCLA defensive coordinator.
The LA Times is reporting that Redskins linebackers coach Lou Spanos is going to be hired as the defensive coordinator at UCLA.
Spanos was hired by the Redskins in 2009 by Head Coach Mike Shanahan to help defensive coordinator Jim Haslett install a 3-4 defensive scheme, similar to the one Spanos was used to in Pittsburgh. With the way Ryan Kerrigan, Brian Orakpo and Perry Riley have come along this season, he was obviously doing a good job here and will be missed.

I really hope we can find a place for London on the staff.
He’ll be a great coach when he retires in six years.

"Dominate" is a verb.
We'll work on "Dominance" once we get the first two figured out.
Congrats to Lou, but that is a body blow for the Skins
especially as we are trying to get the staff ready to coach the Senior Bowl.

Really, what do we think will happen there?
I suppose the linebackers will be coached by Hazlitt.
But what about the wide receivers? Kyle?

my guess is offensive assisstant Mike Mcdaniels would coach the WR's
he’s never been a WR coach, but he has worked with WR’s before while in Houston.
as for the LB’s I don’t know, if they hire someone quickly then maybe they can just jump in.

This sucks
BIG TIME. Wasn’t Spanos the only guy who came from an actual GOOD defense? Getting him was the only reason I was OK getting rid of Olivodatti.
Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
Not at all pleased with this turn of events.....
but, as mentioned above, good for him.

Maybe now
Sir London Of Fletcher can become a player/coach hybrid
I've always wondered:
How much does a position coach offer in terms of molding players. Would it be as devastating to you guys if the WR or TE coach left? Hopefully the new coach can teach Orakpo how to show up for NFC East games or how not to over pursue and run himself out of position.
The WR coach is already gone.
Personally, I think the loss of Spanos is huge. Leave Orakpo alone at least he over pursues and doesn’t under pursue. He’s trying to make plays and thats exactly what the team needs.

Better over than Under, I agree
But he shouldn’t be left alone. Making all that money and that draft position, is it too much to ask he sacks Romo, Manning, or Vick? You know he hasn’t don’t that yet right?
Also, got Vick...
…twice in the last game of the year before getting his shoulder hurt. Better late than never, but definitely living up to his draft position…IMO

For sure
I feel like everyone is just piling on Orakpo now that Kerrigan is on the scene and had a great season
Also got the holding call...
that was the deciding play of a Dallas game a year ago, which is basically like sacking Romo.

The position coaches
Work closer with players than anyone.
Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
I'm going to take a different approach here..
So long farwell and thanks for all the shoes.
Who couldn’t coach Kerrigan, Orakpo, Fletch and then insert any name (although Riley is peach).
@Callahan_9 on the twitter machine.
This does suck and who says Orakpo and Kerrigan produce at the levels they are without him
Hopefully they can get someone good to replace him and glad to see him get the opportunity. Perhaps we will say him down the road in the NFL as a D Coordinator. Hard to not like seeing our assistants get some love.
I'm sure we can poach a coach from either the Steelers or GB
Dan Snyder has money at his disposal and by god, he’ll dispose of it.
