I’m also curious where Pete Carroll lands. He wanted the Chargers job that went to Harbaugh. That would’ve required substantially less work than the Commanders job, and it’s in Pete’s preferred climate.
However, if I’m the Commanders GM, I take a good, long look at Carroll. These new, younger names are compelling, but rare is the coach who is a known commodity and that players love.
I agree. If you are a brand new owner, like the Commies have, I could absolutely see the appeal of hiring Peter Carroll. You already know he’s going to set a good culture, make your players happy, and he’s going to retire in a few years anyway which gives you time to get your feet wet as an owner and start to plot what you’d like to aim for long term.
The one year Vrabel was a DC didn’t he rank 32nd in points allowed? He is a good HC, but I’m not sure where the stuff about him being a coordinator again comes from.
If I’m the Commanders, and looking at their list of candidates, I’d take Glenn.
