Redskins

The Redskins and their fans surely hope the combination of Ron Rivera, Jack Del Rio and Scott Turner can be successful and turn around a franchise that's needed a turnaround for more than 20 years.

Whether that ultimately happens, however, won't be known for quite a while, but the team's three new and most important coaches are already successful in one aspect: being hip.

Rivera (@RiverboatRonHC), Del Rio (@coachdelrio) and Turner (@ScottTurner) are all on Twitter. Will that help them on the field in 2020 and beyond? No! But does it make them more interesting and relatable and cool? Of course!

So, in honor of these three up-with-the-times-coaches, here's a sampling of 10 of their best tweets:

10) Turner can lead a toy train through multiple rooms, a cave and a four-way intersection. Engineering an offense to take over the NFC East will feel like nothing to him:

9) It's tempting to make fun of Rivera for this dad joke, but then you remember he played on the greatest defense in NFL history and still looks mega-jacked, and all of the sudden it becomes a lot less tempting:

8) You want a defensive coordinator that sticks to his beliefs, whether those beliefs relate to his style of coaching or why he thinks it's OK to use your reclining seat on an airplane. Del Rio appears to be that kind of guy:

 

7) This hashtag from Rivera is brilliant:

6) The following is a list of things Turner likes to watch on TV: football. That's the list:

5) Here's a word of advice to anyone wanting to dive into Del Rio's mentions with some criticisms: Be prepared to get roasted. Del Rio isn't afraid to do some roasting, as evidenced by this tweet:

4) Celebrating an American championship while standing next to a golden retriever? The only things this picture is missing are a pickup truck and a cheeseburger:

3) While working as an analyst, Del Rio would respond to many clips from every weekend's set of games. This particular video, featuring Daron Payne going all-out, caught Del Rio's attention:
