codeorama Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Originally posted by gridironmike Better assesment redskin56. Its easy to jump on a guy thats down, but Spurrier had no bad intentions for the Redskins. He spoke in reverence of Joe Gibbs and what he accomplished here. Finally, a voice of reason. IMO, Spurrier didn't really have a fair chance to succeed, he was hired with the impression that a GM would be brought in and it never materialized. Vinny just screwed with him constantly. Spurrier is to blame for not laying the law down, but at least he walked away and took the highroad by not blasting the front office or the players. While some of you don't like the way he left, it was alot classier than firing some parting shots at the organization. Spurrier is a great football coach, he may not be cut out for life as an NFL coach, but maybe down the road, we'll find out. There is not doubt that if he tries again, he will need to surround himself with talented assistants like Gibbs does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbol Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 How about, Spurrier is forgotten and Gibbs is the King. When Snyder hired Gibbs, he made George W. Bush the second most powerful man in D.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cskin Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Spurrier did just what he said he was going to do. See if his system would work in the NFL. His system being the way he coaches, the offensive system itself, his assistants he brought with him and etc. It didn't work.... but it also didn't help that he was undermined and effed with by the F.O. from the word go. I have to respect him for not blasting the organization when he left. He's been trashed since that day..... and he's kept a stiff upper lip to the criticism and let things die down. He'll coach again in college... be a huge success... and get another crack from the NFL from a desperate organization.... probably one of the florida teams like Miami or Tampa once Gruden burns out.
