AFskinsfan Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I want Mike Ditka! The fact the he likes to trade all of his draft picks should sit well with Vinny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robearlyii Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I heard the next head coach will be Dick Cheney. We will waterboard all our opponents until they give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardner47 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I know the speculation that Fassel was the one who picked the coordinators. But was there something I missed that confirmed that these where his choices that he wanted in place for him to coach in DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemoveSnyder Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 (like a head coach from another team). Who were you thinking of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernie5 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Certainly possible, but I sorta hope it isn't Dennis Green. And while, sure, it might be a publicity whiff to hire Jim Fassel, if he's the RIGHT hire (and I'm not saying it is or it isn't), that goes by the boards very quickly. Snyder knows that he has a highly tempermental and easily freaked-out fanbase for the Skins, but he also knows that we're not fickle. Loyalty would give him the luxury of bringing on an unpopular choice if he really thought Fassel was the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

33 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 What about the possibility that they interviewed their whole list and took a look back and said, "Wow, this is not an impressive list." Because, that's what I keep saying to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoidRage Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Cowher and Grimm don't make sense b/c of the hiring of a West Coast OC. Who's out there that runs a WC offense and would be a good (secret) HC ?? And why the wait ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsNut73 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 ....so are you trying to tell me that all these reports of Redskins One flying out to NFL Network studios to court Steve Mariucci are untrue? ....and that they were actually courting Jim Mora Sr.???

robearlyii Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I've also heard that Rudy Ray Moore is a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HailSkinz1 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I know the speculation that Fassel was the one who picked the coordinators. But was there something I missed that confirmed that these where his choices that he wanted in place for him to coach in DC. I don't think anything during this entire process has been confirmed. But at the time, it was well reported that Zorn was Fassel's guy and that Fassel approved of promoting Blache. The only way to confirm it would be to talk to Snyder, Vinny, or Fassel, and they ain't talkin'. (Unless you consider that exclusive "interview" Bram had with Snyder the other day).

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 The simple answer is Cowher. . That would generate excitement. I just can't see why Cowher - who was always demanding more power in Pittsburgh - would take a totally neutered Head Coaching position in DC. What makes me suspect there is no rabbit is simply that no "exciting" coach would come into a situation where he has no say on the staff and no vote on personnel. Even Denny Green would demand more.

bigheadsooner Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I want Mike Ditka! The fact the he likes to trade all of his draft picks should sit well with Vinny. That last part made me laugh outloud. Just announce it already. Unless of course DS and his monkeys have no idea and are trying to get Denny Green (:shot: ) or someone else from the Home of Coaching Retreads.

HailSkinz1 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 You know, Jim Zorn has ties to Dennis Erickson...... And Erickson is coaching in Arizona.... Wouldn't that make the Fassel hire look a helluva lot better? Hail, H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Another name with some ties, here Mike Tice. Well...that would get my heart beating.

Butz65 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Who were you thinking of? No one specifically comes to mind.

Higgs44 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Sorry...but this FO has done nothing to make me think they could actually do something right. Then again, even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Dan very well could be trying to wear Cowher down and has talked to him in between interviews trying to get him to come out of retirement. I truly believe he was the heir apparent to JG after his original contract ran out for next season. You could see that Snyder was as shocked as everyone else when he made his speech at the JG's resignation announcement on camera. Snyder didn't know anyone else to turn to other than his old buddy Vinny. Cowher hated sharing personell responsibilities with Tom Donahoe. Do you think he wants to work with Vinny? When Cowher comes back, he will get the following from someone: 1. Enough money to buy Raleigh, North Carolina. 2. Complete control over personell 3. Complete control over his staff. Danny can only offer one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsSuperBowl21 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Thanks for the insight, this whole debacle is getting so old I really just want any head coach at this point so we can move into the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davesupes Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 If it was Fassel, they would have announced him as head coach by now. Meeks is still in the running, I believe and possibly Mooch, who is a WCO guru (fits with Zorn) But I am leaning more towards the poster's train of thought. I think Snyder is being overly meticulous and won't just name a head coach out of desperation. (contrary to how much we the "oh so educated" fans might disagree) The process of hiring a head coach is a taxing endeavor for both an owner and the team it affects. It's hard to preach patience, when mine is fading, but I want this done right, with the right candidate. Hail. :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
