Many names on Ron Rivera’s Washington Redskins coaching staff stick out.
Jack Del Rio is a big one. So is Scott Turner.
John Matsko, though, isn’t a household name. But he’s one of the most experinced coaches on staff at 46 years of service.
Perhaps more importantly, Matsko is one of a few guys on staff with serious Super Bowl experience.
Zach Selby of the team’s official site chronicled some of the feats:
“In the six seasons that Matsko was with the Rams, the team advanced to the playoffs four times and had two Super Bowl appearances. He was also with the Panthers when they appeared in Super Bowl 50 after a 15-1 regular season finish in 2015.”
Matsko certainly has a big challenge in front of him with a line perhaps ready to lose big faces. Trent Williams’ fate remains up in the air and Brandon Scherff is slated to hit free agency.
But Matsko is a good representation of what Dan Snyder wanted to get in the building when he made the decision to reshuffle much about the organization.
If nothing else, few are as qualified as Matsko to tackle the team’s current problems in the offensive trenches.
