StevieInferior Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Not much in the quote, IMO, but it is interesting that the post dedicated only 3 paragraphs to this. I guess that they don't take it seriously: Spurrier denied a Comcast SportsNet report that he considered resigning before the season but was talked out of it. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A38199-2003Oct16.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Hog Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 I'd like to see what the reaction to his comments would have been had the Ball Coach replied "yes, I was talked out of it"........of course he's gonna say no. I still think the rumours are a bunch of .:pooh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieInferior Posted October 17, 2003 Author Share Posted October 17, 2003 The question is if this is the first Snyder is hearing about this. if so, you know SOS will be front and center in that office first thing in the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 there is a lot of this going around lately. makes me wonder if there is an ounce of truth there somewhere. thats all it takes for losing season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnydertheHun Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 MikeyB, is that you? Anyway, there is a CBS Sportsline report that Spurrier is very unhappy in Washington. I dismissed it as more speculation from our friend Prisco. However, when considered in the light of that blurb from Comcast maybe we should be concerned.

Gamebreaker Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 I think Prisco is just making that crap up to follow up the Comcast story. He's probably hoping it's true and it'll make him look good in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Hog Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 I would normally be concerned, but those are 2 news outlets that I just do not give any credibility to. Funny none of the local folks have picked it up… if it’s true at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's probably hoping it's true and it'll make him look good in the process. If I've followed this correctly, Prisco's report preceded the Comcast report and in fact prompted Comcast to publicize the story it had been tracking for a few weeks. At least that's what I'm picking up second-hand here from the cheap seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny none of the local folks have picked it up… if it’s true at all. The local media (WashTimes excepted) depend on access to the Redskins. Think of the local media as an extended PR department for the Redskins. This doesn't make the national media geniuses -- many are morons. But they don't depend on the good graces of the Redskins for their jobs and access to insider information. The Washington Post is pretty clearly in bed with the team. That's not all bad, as it allows some interesting stories. But they won't break big stories that make Snyder look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Ok, what if this is true? What if SS is unhappy, that's not too far-fetched if you ask me. Now, he may be a meddling SOB, but Snyder ain't dumb. He understands what a terrible thing it will be for SS to take a hike after this year, so let's hope he comes to his senses, realizes that he needs SS more than SS needs this job, and does WHATEVER it takes to keep SS from leaving. Step one: Walk into SS's office with a box of chocolates and a dozen roses, get on your knees, tell him you love him, tell him he can have Danny back, and beg beg beg him not to leave...

Heavy Jumbo Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 I think if Spurrier doesn't get the skins to the playoffs this year Snyder will get rid of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Hue Jackson new OC err head coach with a scaled down fun and gun? I dont think s Double wants to be remembered as a quitter. Its not like the team is far away from being aa playoff contender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codeorama Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Spurrier didn't win right away at Duke, I'm sure he didn't really think he would just step in a wave his magic visor and be the division champs. Next year is the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougWilliams Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Spurrier has too much offensive firepower potential with this team to walk away from it. I'd bet the farm he's here for another year or two at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 I think Spurrier HAS been frustrated by the setup here in Washington. But I agree with Dave that he is too egotistical to just walk away with his tail between his legs and admit he wasn't up to this challenge. Washington can't be much fun for the Spurriers compared to being at Florida. The weather sucks. The fans and media are all over the team. The owner is demanding and mercurial. The separation of duties within the organization is not well-delineated. And he has some veteran players on the team whose salaries make them almost untouchable. There weren't any players at Florida that were untouchable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 If SS doesn't have the balls to finish what he started let him resign. He loses all credibility as a football coach if he leaves. I don't think his ego will let him quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
