Why the Redskins should hire a kicking consultant

From head coach Ron Rivera to coaching intern Jennifer King, 25 men and women will be charged with molding this year’s Redskins’ roster into a competitive team. Twenty of them are new to the team this year, brought in by Rivera as part of a complete overhaul of the coaching staff. These coaches will have an enormous impact on the team’s success in 2020.

We can and will evaluate them as the season progresses, but for now, I want to talk about one move Rivera chose not to make. He did not hire a kicking consultant.

I understand why he didn’t.
