Lets iron this all out. Earlier today the nfl reported on twitter that the redskins were set to hire joe barry as the new redskins defensive coordinator. Our sources tell us head coach jay gruden has not made a decision as who he wants as defensive coordinator. I reached out to all five candidates and their agents and no one has heard from the redskins which tells you that no one has han hired. So there are lots of moving parts. This is the second time the gm announced it before. Thats true. Its confirmed then not dfrmed. I agree. We have to be patient. Come on. I know you want a defensive coordinator. Why arent they doing it . We want the right guy. I think right now in the world of twitter Everyone Wants to get it out there first. Throughout the nfl, there have been lots of hirings.
