Rich Campbell Twitter: Phillip Daniels out as Redskins director of player development

[authentic]

That's interesting because two years ago when he was released, Shanahan DID offer him a coaching job.

good catch. it seems like he snoozed on an opportunity when it was available before. Hopefully he catches on somewhere - in a place that he's happy.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was just a coaching internship or something obscenely low-level.

Daniels probably needs to go prove himself in the college ranks and work his way up the ladder.

A great guy, and I hope he finds and gets everything he wants moving forward (not in the NFC East though, as some have said).

Danny... Bruce... it's time to give ole' number 28 a call.

That, or if the Highlander finally hangs it up I could see him as a reasonable guy for the job. He certainly has the character for it.

I hope he comments in this thread.

Nobody wants to stop playing when you love the game.
Earned his salary with helping T Jackson and wish him luck at Notre Dame or wherever.

Hoping for nothing but the best for PD. Hope he has a great coaching career.

It will be interesting to see how this story breaks month's from now. PD seems to be a very standup guy. I am sure he is doing this for the right reasons for himself and his family. I wish it had worked out longer for the Skins, but hopefully this will really work out for PD.

Love how alot of our Ex players want to hang around(even if it is for the $$$) the team after the playing days are over. Good luck to PD.

Director of player development - what exactly does that entail?

I imagine it was a fool rectification position.

[Leonard Washington]

I wonder why they didn't give him any coaching-like duties.

[rick1796]

Hate losing a guy of his personal caliber for any reason, but the man has to pursue his ambitions. Good luck and i hope the door is opne if you ever need to walk back in!

Sneaky. I like that. And there isn't a guy on this team who would say no to him. But I think when he retires he would want to move to his big house in North Carolina.

read the whole thread, there was a link at the top of this page (quoted from the first) where he was offered a coaching job a couple of years ago.

Damn, hate to see Phil go. Good luck wherever you go big fella!

[LetThePointsSoar]

Can't blame a guy for wanting to move up the ladder. Best of luck PD93. Always a true class act, and if by chance you make one of your many stops by here, PLEASE continue to stop by and don't be a stranger, wherever you might go, always welcome here with open arms...
