88Comrade2000 Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 I've seen in several reports that Spurrier is to leave for a 2 week vacation; starting this Sunday. Why on earth is taking a vacation now; when they are major decisions to be made right now. 1. Does Spurrier stay or go? 2. If Spurrier stays; what assistant stays or goes? Also, given that there could be as many as 10 openings; assistant coaches will be snapped up as soon as the head coaching positions fill up. You'd think; we want to get the best assistants available. 3. Also, if Spurrier really wants more input in personnel or have someone other than Synder/Cerrato; wouldn't he want to discuss that. There's plenty of time to go on a vacation after those decisions are made. Steve can spend the end of the month on vacation. This leads me to believe this man really isn't commited to what it takes to turn things around. Also, it give me a sneaky suspicion that he's leaving. He has no intention of coming back. A deal has already been reach on his resignation or possible trade to another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Spurrier is going on vacation for a number of reasons, but I think the main one is that he is frustrated by the expectations and scrutiny of us Redskins fans How could people actually ask for a guy to remember the names of his players and which teams he has just played when addressing the media at a post-game news conference? :laugh: How could people actually expect Spurrier to be able to motivate a football team to do better than lose 27-0 in a nationally televised game to a team that is hated more than any other in town? And last but not least, how could anyone actually go back and read Spurrier's ridiculously arrogant quotes upon taking this job and then expect him to deliver a contending team in just two short years? I'm telling you. These Redskins fans. And the local media. They never stop do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Every coach goes on a vacation after the end of their teams season. Even if Spurrier didn't need to take a vacation, because of the post season, and NFL rules about player movement , and hirings of coaches on playoff teams, there is very little that can be accomplished until Spurrier gets back, with plenty of time to address areas of need and devise a plan of attack. Plus the added benefit of rest, and recharging the batteries to come in 100% ready to do the job at hand. Spurrier is leaving Monday, so I am sure he and Snyder will have a talk Sunday before his vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Madder Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Love him or hate him, can you think of anyone more in need of a vacation than Spurrier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlinginSammy HOF '63 Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Originally posted by 7stepdrop So he can interview for the new team he will be coaching next season. I was thinking the same thing. He probably has 2-3 college campus stops to make and Danny has given him permission to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Hog Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 Probably so he can back up from all this media driven BS and endless speculation seemingly about nothing. I'll say again, Spurrier will be the Redskins HC next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riggins44 Posted December 27, 2003 Share Posted December 27, 2003 The man deserves a vacation. To step away from things will probably be the best thing for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
