skinzplay Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Gibbs wanted him. He didn't call Gibbs inquiring about the job. I hardly think that Saunders would do something like that when something like this - and such a good situation - presents itself so unexpectedly. This is a case of PFT grasping for things that aren't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Die Hard Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 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. Yes, it's a non-story because I said it was. That's why. You want to fight about it? :laugh: It's a non-issue because the story is a non-issue. Who cares if Saunders squeezed a few pennies from Snyder during his contract negotiations? What's that got to do with anything? It isn't a hack on the poster. It's a hack on the journalist digging up this news. Now tell me... what the heck is it with new posters being so dense. I find THAT happens way too much on this forum.

bubba9497 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 This is PFT, most of their articles are pure speculation. Those that are not, are stolen from other news sources. The classic throwing **** on the wall, seeing what sticks type stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruinSkin Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Why should we care how much money Snyder paid to Saunders? Last time I checked, there's no salary cap on coaching salaries. Second, it has no impact on whether or not we sign free agents. It's Snyder's money, he can spend it as he wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinFan63 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 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 Getting Saunders: 8-Million dollars. Keeping Williams: 8-Million dollars. Getting Gibbs back - PRICELESS! Oh the future is S-W-E-E-T! Hail!:point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECU-ALUM Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 If we can look forward to a lot more articles like this during the off-season then all I have to say is this..."oh Lord is it going to be LONG off-season." :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenster95 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 This is absolute crap. If Saunders told Danny and/or Gibbs that he had an offer from the Raiders, they'd ask for the contract. If Saunders doesn't produce it, they'll either take issue with what could be this little sleight of hand or not care two ways about it. Saunders isn't stupid enough to try to bluff a shrewd businessman like the Danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor ToughLove Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Money well spent. The Redskins are ahead of the curve on paying coaches top money because it doesn't affect the salary cap. The rest of the league is only beginning to catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 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. I know what you mean. Me and the girls had just finished our weekly pre- meeting Sensitivity Awareness Briefing before speaking at the Angels of Genteel Guidance for The Terribly Brusque Rehabilitation Program when I said, "Girls! You know who could really use this help? That poor misguided crusty old Die Hard soul on that nasty internet football site." My heart simply flutters when I think of the fragile spirits whose delicate light might be given to flicker in the harsh wind of snippiness that blows so cold in that forum. You be sure and cover up, dear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiplohmillers#1 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 sounds like basic contract negotiation to me. No problem with trying to get more cash out of a whale like snyder. This to me is a non issue, especially with the revenue snyder generates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRodney77 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 If you guys didn't like the PFT story, you're really gonna hate what Whitlock had to say about Al in the Star. I saw it and, well,:yikes:. Then again, it is Whitlock after all. Take it with a grain of salt. http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/sports/13682142.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it and, well,:yikes:. Then again, it is Whitlock after all. Take it with a grain of salt.http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansascity/sports/13682142.htm Gibbs worked with Saunders in San Diego and he doesn’t have a problem with him. Whitlock whining about a self-promoter. :laugh: Whitlock sounds like Don King next to other sports writers. There’s web pages out there dedicated solely to bashing this guy. Besides; what’s so wrong with promoting yourself anyway? One of my earliest life lessons was “if you don’t sell yourself, don’t expect anyone else to do it for you”. Saunders didn’t create that offense with smoke and mirrors. It’s not like he brown nosed his way into the record books. He didn’t base his success on sucking up; he based it on results. It’s all there in the NFL stats sheets. If anything, he was trying to convince Peterson that he was an effective leader, i.e. head coach material. I guess the KC and the other teams in search of a head coach felt that this was one area that Saunders fell short. Yet somehow Whitlock thinks Saunders will brown nose his way into Dan Snyder’s heart and convince Dan he is the best man for the job. Given how much Dan Snyder loves Joe Gibbs that would be the stupidest career move any man could ever make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
