There’s no correlation between excitement and success. Bill Belichick is more than enough proof of that. But when a team starved of greatness needs a hero to turn the tides, they could do worse than a hothead or two. The Redskins have two coaches particularly infamous for their lack of a volume knob.
Greg Manusky, the new defensive coordinator, already cultivated a reputation for himself in-house as the outside linebackers’ coach in 2016. One of the key factors in his promotion was his enthusiasm and ability to get results from his players. And recently-acquired defensive line coach Jim Tomsula already gained the same notoriety in his short time with the Redskins.
