The Redskins interviewed former Bengals offensive coordinator Bill Lazor for their vacant quarterbacks coach position on Tuesday, according to Albert Breer of TheMMQB.com (Twitter link).
Washington made a notable change to its offensive staff earlier this week, promoting Kevin O’Connell from QBs coach to offensive coordinator while demoting former OC Matt Cavanaugh to an offensive assistant role. O’Connell’s promotion was reportedly set in motion after rival clubs expressed interest in bringing him aboard, but the Redskins now need someone to fill his old role.
Lazor, 46, was hired as Cincinnati’s quarterbacks coach in 2016 but ended up taking over as the team’s play-caller three games into the 2017 campaign. In 2018, his first full season as the Bengals’ OC, Lazor led a unit which ranked 17th in points, 19th in DVOA (efficiency), and 26th in yardage. Lazor previously worked for the Redskins from 2004-07 and held the quarterbacks coach title for the final two years of that run.
At present, it’s unclear exactly who Lazor would be coaching if he were hired in Washington. Recent reports have indicated the Redskins expect Alex Smith to miss the entirety of the 2019 season while recovering from a brutal leg injury, while Josh Johnson and Mark Sanchez are pending free agents. Longtime backup Colt McCoy remains on roster, but Washington will likely add multiple additional signal-callers over the coming months.
He’d work. But who the heck is playing QB for them?
Nick Foles
Donald Trump
Dalton is above average if he is out there. But massively overpaid
Nevermind im lazy and just looking at the picture
If you want Dalton I will help him pack. By changing out Marvin Lewis they have done half the makeover needed. Move Dalton and now we would have a fresh start. Good or bad we need a fresh start in Cincy … if we are going to lose I’d rather go down swinging trying something new. Not the same old mess.
Daniel Jones or Joe Flacco. If they go Flacco it’s because they expect Alex Smith to be able to come back. If they go Jones it will b because the organization doesn’t c him being able to play again.
Once again the Redskins have no direction whatsoever.
Even if you gave Daniel Snyder a map and compass he would go in a different direction. That’s always been his way.
