Well good thing we wasted all that time interviewing all those ‘great’ browns and jaguars ex-head coaches! Skins brass decided to promote their outside linebacker coach Greg Manusky to Defensive Coordinator since our outside linebackers were the only decent part of our defense last year. Obviously not the greatest hire we could have made but he has experience as a head defensive coordinator before. Here they are summed up in one tweet:

The early years got cut here but you get the point. Pretty average except for 2013 in Indy which appears to be a fluke.

From all reports, Manusky will keep the 3-4 defense so buckle up for more defensive lineman trying to cover slot receivers, gaping run lanes, and risky edge blitzes at random times that make you want to kick your own ass for rooting for this team. The good news is that the player love him. Lots of LBs are pumped about the hire (Junior Galette is already calling  out people on Twitter). Manusky helped coach the redskins to (somehow) be 9th in the league in sacks. Manuksy has worked with McCloughan before in SF so he’s been deemed a “Scot” guy which is never a bad thing.

Time will tell if he can turn around this putrid defense. He brings a lot more intensity than Barry and will probably take more risks too. He’s already hired the greatest football meme generator of all time in Jim Tomsula as the defensive line coach so how bad can he be?!
