Did Dave Wannstedt just put the kibosh...

...on the Washington Football team?

He quickly predicted that the "Washington Redskins", because of a lack of Eagles personnel would win the NFC Least.

Clarissa Thompson was thankfully quick to correct him

Incidentally, his best bet is Dallas over the NYG today.

Geez, the change to the no nickname football team was only made many months ago last year.

they're still the Redskins to many people

The Footballers are being bet as if they've already won the game.

From an opening number of Eagles -1 at Circa to the current price of the Footballers -6.5.

Hmmm...

 

[John Kelly]

Wannstedt didn't do it for me as an NFL head coach (he was more of a defensive coordinator) and he certainly lacks the "it" factor in his role as a football analyst.

Qualcomm Stadium was one of several NFL mosileums back in the day of aging stadiums with subpar fan support.

All it takes is one lamebrain to revamp a sensitivity controversy.

Hope they keep the name as is. Nothing else would go.

I thought he did a good job with Pittsburgh Panthers.

Wannstedt assumed the Cowboys have competent coaching, which they clearly do not. Mike McCarthy and his offense are such a clown show. When you have 1:54 left and 1st and Goal you RUN the ball. Instead a sack because no one blocks a guy, a drop by your amazing value 1st rounder and then your great backup QB throws it up for grabs to get picked. That was a textbook sequence for a bad coach who doesn't understand end game strategy one bit.

Better in college than the NFL but that's not saying much.

Dave Wannstedt used his name recognition and obvious local ties to take over for the embattled Walt Harris at Pittsburgh in late 2004.

Wannstedt finished 42-31 overall (24-18 in the Big East) in five seasons with Pitt.

The biggest bowl appearance for the Panthers during Wannstedt's tenure: the Meineke Car Care Bowl.

Could Wannstedt compete in today's style of college football?

Highly doubtful.

Here's the final score from the 2008 Sun Bowl: Oregon State 3 Pittsburgh 0.

Temperature was in the high 50's with no precipitation.

The Panthers were shutout despite featuring LaSean McCoy in the backfield.

The teams combined for 20 punts.

Funny video made about that game:

 

[John Kelly]

Excellent fact-based video.

 

[O'Royken]

At least his defense showed up lol.

 

[John Kelly]

Touché.
