fdarugar Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm SAUNDERS SQUEEZED 'SKINS WITH PHONY OFFER? Word around the league is that new Redskins offensive coordinator Al Saunders squeezed some extra coin out of Dan Snyder's deep pockets this week by telling the 'Skins that he was sitting on an offer to become the next coach of the Oakland Raiders. The only problem is that, you know, the Raiders never actually made him an offer to become their next head coach. On one hand, it's good negotiating tactics. On the other hand, it's pretty a shaky foundation on which to launch Saunders' career in D.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDevil Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 If your in the business of coaching at his age... You need to make money pronto.. I am sure he is allready loaded but he is passing up to be a head coach to be an assistant again so getting more money is just a way of compensating that... Its not like Snyder doesnt have the loot anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 1. Is Saunders the best available candidate for the OC job? Yes. 2. Is he also a businessman that will leverage what he has to get the best deal for himself? Yes. 3. Is that going to make any difference to Joe Gibbs, Joe Bugel and the 22 offensive players that Saunders will be working with? NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Hard Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 The biggest non-story of the year. Geez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Hard Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I heard Saunders also took a few rolls of toilet paper from the Redskins Park men's room and the batteries from a TV remote from the film room. Shaky ground indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdarugar Posted January 21, 2006 Author Share Posted January 21, 2006 Honestly I have no problem with it, basically I see Saunders as a hired gun anyway. I just know Danny doesnt like it when you mess with his money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCRoughrider Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Dan Snyder was willing to pay "whatever it took" to get Al Saunders. A few hundred thousand dollars one way or the other is no skin off Snyder's nose. Huge non-story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIDETHEWALRUS Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 I also heard that Antonio Pierce was stealing packets of ketchup and tea sweeteners from the cafeteria. Maybe that is why we didn't go out of our way to re-sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulldog Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 no, just comments and rumors that have absolutely no effect on what happens with the team. Saunder and Gibbs were coaches together and have known each other for 35 years. stuff like this from PFT is just the detritus of the internet that unfortunately gets dragged in here from time to time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Die Hard Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 PFT can't break the story... but they got the details of the contract negotiations huh? Gibbs has a track record for letting this type of information out. Give me break. Who leaker the info? Gibbs, Snyder or Saunders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 actually, if I had to make a guess it was Al Davis. He didn't like the fact the Redskins poached a guy out from under him before he made a decision on Saunders for himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaz13 Posted January 21, 2006 Share Posted January 21, 2006 Most coaches that are negotiating for that kind of money have agents that do it for them, don't they. If that is the case wouldn't it be the agent's job to get him the most money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedskinsRoll05 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 The biggest non-story of the year. Geez. Why is it a non-story? Because you say it is? I think it is relevant if it is true. Why do so many people like yourself feel the need to put someone else down because you either don't agree or don't understand. This happens way too much in this forum.
