The Washington Football Team looked to be in an enviable position entering the 2013 season.
The franchise returned to the playoffs in 2012 behind a brilliant season from Robert Griffin III, in which then-offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan engineered one of football's most inventive schemes. But the wheels quickly came off for the franchise after the brief postseason appearance.
Washington went just 3–13 in 2013 and 4–12 in 2014, and the organization has struggled to truly return to contender status since Griffin's brief run of stardom. One potential culprit for the continued slump? Perhaps a brain drain among the coaching staff is to blame.
