I would be surprised if Rivera (assuming he's hired) doesn't keep Kevin O'Connell as his OC. Has chemistry with your young QB and receivers, well-respected, and only had 1 year left on his contract -- so worst case scenario it doesn't work out and he's gone next year.

I don’t understand the hate for Trent Williams, he was the x-factor in getting Bruce Allen and Larry Hess fired and getting the team upright. Instead of the trade request, his name needs to go on the ROF at Fed Ex. I can see it now...

Overall, I thought today was a good day for Snyder and the #Redskins to enter into a new era. I mean Bruce Allen and head trainer Larry Hess were fixtures that some thought were untouchable despite the negativity that surrounded them. These are huge moves being made!

When I spoke to Trent Williams in Nov., he said, “I’ll never be a Redskin again.” After Bruce Allen’s firing today, a source told me that Williams returning is “a possibility.” He’s thinking on it, and there’s no decision. But the source said he still sees it as a positive. #HTTR
