The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Last week, the Broncos decided to decline the Redskins' request to interview running backs coach Bobby Turner for the same job in Washington, where Turner would be reunited with former Denver coach Mike Shanahan.

The Broncos have now had a change of heart.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Broncos will allow Turner to meet with the Redskins, and an interview is expected to occur this week.

NFL rules permit teams with assistant coaches under contract to refuse requests to interview those assistants for any job other than head coach. Though compensation can be offered to get a team to release its rights to a head coach, draft picks and/or cash cannot be used to pry an assistant coach away from his current team.

I honestly wouldn't mind bringing him on board along with Terrell Davis as his assistant or intern.

Well there may have been a lot of conjecture about the subject, but as far as I know, this is the first time that an actual coach has stated 'the obvious.'

To me it speaks volumes about the dysfunctional system in place, when the (former) RB coach is confirming the news... so this is one piece of 'obvious' information that I like hearing straight from the horse's mouth.

The Redskins propaganda wheel makes it hard to know what to believe and what not to believe, so for those not easily swayed, this is valuable info IMO.

If TD comes on board we need to put him on the field.

This to me is WONDERFULL NEWS.

We need new coaches to pull this change of culture off.

Any chance we get Alex Gibbs for the slam dunk??
