Thinking Skins Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 I'm not surprised... a little relieved, but not surprised. If Snyder has been anything he has been quick on the trigger finger. He's generally not reluctant to fire coaches. I think Dan's been "coached" to be more patient for the sake of consistency, but ya got to imagine that finger's been itching for a few years now. Either way, the excitement over the firing is just another setup for excitement over whoever we hire, which leads to unreasonable expectations, which leads to disappointment (now I do sound like a negative Nancy). I know people are saying they want Wade Phillips or Rex Ryan but I have a feeling that we'd even mess that up. I really feel like this team is the Wizards of my childhood and Snyder is the new Abe Pollin. Bruce Allen is the new Wes Unseld. Heck, we can even argue that RG3 is Chris Webber.

bradboyd80 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 i am just imagining all of the "bruh" GIFs when Bruce announces in his press conference that Raheem will be the new DC... That's exactly what I'm afraid of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first statement on this was... this isn't the cure, but it's a necessary and positive step. Who we replace him with, who we retain, and how the players respond/play will be the most telling thing. But it was a necessary amputation based on results and the fact that his players had mostly given up on his side of the ball. They tuned him out.
