Thoughts on Bobby Beathard being Snubbed by the HOF again.

I thought Bobby Beathard was another nickname for Robert lol

 

Dude, really?  If you're asking that, then you should be asleep right now because you have to wake up early for third grade tomorrow.  You cannot be a massive die hard fan over the age of 16 and not know who the architect of our Super Bowls was.

 

Beathard's contributions in that time were almost equal to St. Joe's.

Just out of curiosity.......how many guys whose NFL claim to fame is general manager are in the HOF?  I honestly don't know.

 

Jim Finks and Tex Schramm.  So it is hard for a GM to get in.  Someone brought up Mara and King as opposition for BB.  I know King's pushed for George Young so there's probably some truth to that.

After he left the Skins he made a winner out of the Chargers too. The man knew football talent.

Travesty, plain and simple.

Scout for the KC Chiefs - multiple SB appearances and a title.

Director of Player Personnel Miami Dolphins -multiple SB titles and a perfect season.

GM for Redskins - Multiple SB titles (and let's give him credit for 91 since he put together the core of that team. Casserly was Beathard's Barry Switzer

GM San Diego - gets them to their only SB.

Apparently some of you weren't paying attention- Beathard agreed to come back here as GM for Spurrier, which was part of the appeal that lured SOS here. He was looking at houses in the area. Snyder lowballed him at a 500k salary, which he agreed to and gave Snyder the number of his agent to hammer out the details. When Snyder's rep called Beathard's agent, his agent asked for additional incentives for playoff appearances, wins, etc. Dan's guy insisted the deal was for 500k -period. After the call ended, Dan's rep reported back to him. Snyder refused to call Beathard back and rehired Vinny instead. No way is Bobby ever coming back here after that.

Wait, hold on. When did this happen? Do you have a link for a story about this? If this is true, this adds a new notch on Synder's belt.

Happened in '02 when Spurrier was hired.

I think it was a WaPo article, but not certain. It was something in print from a newsource, NOT just some interwebz chatter.

The same genius who gave Spurrier 5m/year and Haynesworthless 40m refused to give Beathard incentives above a 500k salary for playoff appearances.

Both Bobby B and Joe Jacoby still waiting is a travesty.. 

I'm not sure exactly the procedure for executives tho with the voters, since the NFL has a rule that only five "players" can be 

entered into the Hall at once.. Two more by the executive committee..  

Do you take the position away from the players or wait until a year that the field is week..

Let's be honest with ourselves here though. Do you really think Snyder would have sat back and allowed Beathard to make all the decisions with Snyder being uninvolved at all anyway? That is the exact reason Marty was fired despite finishing 8-3 in 2001.

 

And I'm surprised that anybody would agree to put up with Snyders BS 24/7 for only 500k.
