I grew up as a Redskins fan starting with the George Allen. I endured the lowest of lows and the highest of highs. I cannot speak for other fans but this is the absolute lowest I’ve seen this franchise in terms of respectability and competence. Instead of trashing Snyder and others I will offer my ideas on a solution.

I would first hire Jimmy Johnson.  There are a couple of things about Johnson that jump off the page of his resume. First and foremost he is a winner. Winning people tend to draw other winners to them and the Redskins could use all the winners they can find. Johnson won at The University of Miami, Dallas and Miami so his credentials are hard to argue. His personality does not allow him to suffer fools so guys like Vinny Cerrato and other perennial losers would be quickly vanquished from Redskin Park. Johnson has high football acumen both coaching and drafting talented players. Johnson holds the people around him accountable and he leads from the front. With Jimmy Johnson I know without a doubt the Skins are going to bring in quality players for the head coach to mold into winners.

Not to mention Jimmy Johnson would love nothing better than beating the crap out of Jerry Jones twice a year. That alone would be motivation for him to leave the broadcast booth and get back in the game. People that can eye talent are rare and Jimmy has the eye.

Once I hired Johnson I would strongly recommend he hire Russ Grimm as head coach. I would not force him to hire Grimm but I would let him know hiring a Redskin to coach will actually give him more time to turn this mess around. Since Jimmy Johnson recognizes talent he is already aware that Grimm has both the credentials and the chops to be a fantastic head coach.  For those of us that remember big Russ we know we are getting a head coach that learned from the best (Gibbs-Cowher), Russ is tougher than a two dollar steak , he is competitive and does not suffer fools and last but certainly not least he is a Redskin. For those of you not familiar with Russ he is sure fire Hall of Famer with Multiple Super bowl Rings as a Redskin and he has a Super bowl ring as a coach with the Steelers. If the Skins hire Grimm they automatically get some cushion to rebuild because at least the fan base will know they are finally doing it the right way. A team usually takes on the personality of the coach and I cannot think of a better football personality for my Redskins to have than that of Russ Grimm.  Redskin football of the Championship years was defined by toughness, preparation, execution and teamwork. I have not seen that in years and it would be a welcomed site. I believe Jimmy Johnson and Russ Grimm could bring that back to Washington DC.
