Though he's most famous for being a QB, Baugh's longest standing records are in punting. He remains the only player to ever lead the league in punting four years in a row, and holds the second highest career punting average among all punters ever.
Returner: Brian Mitchell (1990-99)
His total career return yards rank among the best of all time, and his punt return average of 11.0 yds and kick return average of 22.8 yds during his decade with the Skins are pretty strong.
Ultimately, Mitchell was both reliable and dangerous; both his averages and season longs stayed pretty steady throughout his career in DC, even trending upwards.
LS: Ethan Albright (2002-present)
The long-snapper is a pretty unglamorous position, but Albright is about as good at it as you can get, even being selected to the Pro Bowl in 2007 and coming close to it in 2008.
Coaching:
Head coach: Joe Gibbs (1981-92, 2004-08)
The Skins have had a lot of great people running the team. Gibbs is not only the best coach among them, but the best person. Though he's solid on the fundamentals, his strengths aren't X's and O's.
He's best as a motivator and delegator known for coaxing the best out of people in terms of skill and in terms of character. He has three rings and a bust in the Hall of Fame.
What more can you ask?
Assistant coach: Joe Bugel (1981-89, 2004-present)
He put together The Hogs, a nickname for some of the best lines to ever play for the Redskins. It's possible the Redskins wouldn't have won the two Super Bowls under Bugel's tutelage without him.
