4. Washington Redskins

Much like the Patriots, the Washington Redskins might need to find a new offensive coordinator. Their current one, Sean McVay, is reportedly being pursued by the Los Angeles Rams.

Granted, this is a bit of a longshot. But nothing can be ruled out. If the Redskins lose McVay, they lose the architect of one of the NFL’s top offenses. Washington will have to replace a very efficient coordinator. So why not go to Gary Kubiak?

The Redskins would be an interesting fit for him. Certainly, having a quarterback as proficient as Kirk Cousins has to be tempting for Kubiak. He was able to accomplish a lot with Joe Flacco in 2014. Imagine what he could do with an even better quarterback in Cousins.

At times this season, the Redskins got away from their running game. Kubiak could help them get back to it while still keeping their passing game fresh. He would also have a lot of great weapons at his disposal, arguably the best he has ever had.

This obviously isn’t a fit if McVay doesn’t leave. There’s no reason to fire him. But if the Redskins have to replace McVay, Kubiak is by far the best candidate to replace him.
