Give Synder a break and think about it

[Stadium-Armory]

Ok, I thought about it.

and even if that were true. That still doesn't mean you mishandle a situation that bad.

Ding. Buford wins again.

Ditto ditto ditto. He's handled this completely unprofessoinally. You don't treat people this way, employees or not. I had 5 friends that worked for him back in the mid to late 90's, and they were treated exactly the same way. Snyder might have a lot of money and might try to spend it to make the team better, but if you were a coach, would you want to come here? What about free agents now? After seeing this, do they want to sign here now?

Unfortunately, to quote Full Metal Jacket, 'It's a big S--T sandwich and we all have to take a bite.'

Watching Dan and Vinnie in the coaching fiasco leads me to one conclusion. Neither of them could figure out how to have sex in a monkey whore house with a bag of bananas

I know Williams may not necessarily work, but who better to at least have a chance and not start rebuilding all over again?

There are so many stories out there regarding this mystery called the "search for the new Redskins' savior". I was livid a couple days ago about the possible Fassel hire. Now that it seems that was a smoke screen, I have come to this conclusion:

First, I believe that Joe Gibbs was asked to resign. It’s true that Joe pretty much did all he could do for the Redskins and there was family concerns. It’s also a truism that Joe truly bleeds burgundy and gold and would do what’s best for the team. In that, I think when he was ask to leave, he considered what was best for the team. He did what was best for the team in the hiring of Al Saunders right? Hmm.

So instead of reporting that Joe was fired and leaving the Redskins name with no credibility, he took the high road and enabled Dan to move on. When you think about it, it is a better situation PR wise. It actually gives the Redskins a platform to stand on through this media circus. I mean how do you replace Joe Gibbs, right? Not only that, but it was inevitable. Next year would have been a disaster for a new coach considering this year we have so many guys with expired contracts/free agents. It would be better long term to let the new coach pick his players this year than to have to take outgoing coaches choice. The fact is that Joe is still a part of the team. That in itself is a mystery. I think there intension is to hire Greg Williams. The search is really for a defensive coach and maybe some other staffers. Many have said “how could one hire an offensive coach without the head coach.” I know I know….you’re saying this is Dan and Vinny we’re talking about. Well GW was interviewed 4 times. What in the world could you talk about in four interviews to a guy you’ve been around for 4 years? The answer to that is the interviews were actually meetings about who GW wants on his staff. Reports have said that Zorn was on GW’s list for his OC. Jim Zorn is the new OC. Hmm. Now, noone has reported that GW fired Saunders right? We know that technically he can’t. That’s obvious. So Dan or Vinny fired him right? Ok it doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things. But….Question: Who in there right mind would want to come in from the outside and HC a team where he has no say in the hiring of his coaching staff? I’m just reading the tea leaves a different way. I just have this vision of GW sitting in a chair with the cameras facing the back to conceal his identity. The smoke rises from the imported cigar. He’s speaking to Vinny in his best Vito Corleone impression….

Godfather Theme song

GW: Hey Vinny. I want Zorn in dis organization. Let’s make him an offer he can’t refuse.

Vinny: Ah hi hi hi hi hi. Um, no problem GW.

Ok. That was a bit dramatic but you get the just of it. I have to think that there is a method to the madness. I am hoping that Snyder has become gun shy with making quick major decisions with this team. I mean we fans are hoping that we can find a coach that will be a mainstay and become the new face of the Redskins right? Why would Snyder. If GW is going to be successful, he’s going to need each piece in place. Not someone looking to pad there resume. How do you find that out by making a quick hire. You’ve got to test the market no matter how muddy it gets with the media. I believe Coach GW and company are in fact waiting for the end of the Super Bowl. When that happens, you will see movement. If that movement doesn’t include the hiring of Greg William as Head Coach, the Redskins indeed have no credibility and no reasonable brain activity.

Doh!!! I guess I don't have a future in NFL prognosis.

I thought about this and have to say that if Williams failed like Richie did then he would have been removed after one year and we'd have the chin waiting for us to take over in 09. If Snyder really does have an understanding with Cower to come in in 2009 that would have been the most perfect situation for Snyder to be in but Snyder just pissed all over this situation and created nothing but a huge mess with it so no pass with this.

This theory essentially says that 2008 is a waste of a season. I'm sure glad YOU'RE not in the front office because I'd actually like to see a winner next season, not a sacrificial lamb.........and ultimately, your idea would be a greater injustice to Gregg Williams than giving him the clean break that he got.
