skinsplayboy Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 CZAR: Spurrier's job in serious trouble Print this story AIM this story Email this story BY JOHN CZARNECKI FOX Sports Oct. 25, 2003 10:06 p.m. After only 23 games, Steve Spurrier has nine games in which to prove to himself and to Redskins owner Daniel Snyder that his Fun 'n Gun offense can succeed. If he fails miserably, Snyder might not have any other choice than to fire Spurrier. Let's face it, the $25 million marriage definitely isn't working. I told Cowboys coach Bill Parcells on Saturday that Spurrier's plight is all his fault. He laughed. The rationale? Well, it is driving Snyder nuts that Parcells has the Cowboys in first place with a 5-1 record when everyone said Dallas had the weakest personnel in the NFC East. The so-called experts thought Washington might have a shot at the playoffs this season with all the personnel moves Snyder and personnel director Vinny Cerrato made in the off-season. It was Snyder's idea to give Joe Bugel a call and examine the pass-blocking schemes of Redskins assistant Kim Helton and Spurrier. Snyder wanted to know if they were sound or not. Or if his high-priced talent was simply missing blocks. The answer was a little of both. But the bottom line is that Snyder is frustrated with Spurrier's lack of instant success and the players' seemingly lack of respect for the ol' ball coach. Notes from the Czar John Czarnecki is the NFL Insider for JB and the gang on the award-winning NFL on FOX pregame show. More NFL dirt from the Czar Spurrier's reaction to all this ownership second-guessing is to simply return to his familiar intermediate and deep passing patterns. He'll ask quarterback Patrick Ramsey to take five- and seven-step drops and go deep. No more conservative play. "We've been handcuffed," Spurrier said. "We need to get back to our original plan of offense. We need to get back to that. Hopefully, we'll start doing that." And if that doesn't work, the next thing Spurrier and Snyder probably will be working on is a buyout of the remaining $15 million left on his contract.

Runs with Scissors Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 I told Cowboys coach Bill Parcells on Saturday that Spurrier's plight is all his fault. He laughed....Well, it is driving Snyder nuts that Parcells has the Cowboys in first place... This sounds like it was written by a Cowboys fan.I don't think Snyder gives many interviews during the season.This sounds like ,what he thinks is happening. The so-called experts thought Washington might have a shot at the playoffs this season with all the personnel moves Snyder and personnel director Vinny Cerrato made in the off-season. That isn't how I remember it,the so-called experts thought we didn't have a QB.I can't recall anyone in the media picking us for the playoffs after our off- season.Most claimed we overspent.
