Tay Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 From FFMASTERMIND: -- Schottenheimer to be Fired Tonight? -- WTEM reports Washinton Redskins HC/GM Marty Schottenheimer is likely to be fired tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 That whole "is likely" stuff means that they're speculating. That's the kind of bad and irresponsible reporting that Art has rightfully been criticizing in other threads. Nevertheless, it could happen, but the point is that it's pure speculation. I posted in another thread that it was reported that there would be a meeting tonight between Marty and Snyder to discuss his future. We'll see what that yields. ------------------ <IMG SRC="http://www.thelocker-room.com/images/RedskinLogo.jpg" border=0> "Loosen up, Sandy baby.

hail2skins Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Andy Pollin, host of the post-game show on WTEM, insists that he has no inside information, and that it is "just his feeling" that Marty has spent has last game as Redskins head coach. I'd like to hear from someone like Mark Maske of the Post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I've been watching the NFL for some few years now and I have rarely seen a situation where a coach is rumored to be in trouble and then is able to pull a rabbit out of the hat and stick around. If Snyder intended to retain Schottenheimer you would figure he would have come out and squashed the Spurrier rumors with a laugh or a dismissive gesture at some point since the mill began its operation on Friday. Instead there has been an uneasy PUBLIC silence all of a sudden from the Redskins executive suite. We have seen umpteenth articles citing 'team sources'. That is the proverbial red flag for 'owner wants to make a point but doesn't want to go on record yet'........... and that means that Marty won't be back barring some minor miracle.

GURU Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I'm not sure Marty's fate has been decided. Snyder's behavior has been dispicable, for sure. But I doubt he would fire Marty unless he has a deal with Spurrier. I'm not convinced anything's been decided, yet. Snyder's preference is painfully clear, however. Like I've said, it think the whole thing is dispicable and embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 As long as we're dealing with rumors and innuendo, I thought you might find this from a fantasy football message board interesting. The poster there is a Bears fan, who has no particular feelings for or against our team that I know of. ------------------ <IMG SRC="http://www.thelocker-room.com/images/RedskinLogo.jpg" border=0> "Loosen up, Sandy baby.

Hog Fever Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I agree Guru. ANY move to remove Marty at this point is going to make the whole organization look like a joke and bringing in Wolf and Spurrier isn’t going to change that. Like a lot of you I have spent more time than I want to talk about defending Snyder and his moves since he took over control of this team. I’m not going to be able to do that this time. What happens when the new “wonder coach” goes 8-8 next year? Fire him and bring in someone else? I’ll have a hard time being a fan of a team like that. I don’t say that lightly. BTW, Am I the only person here who doesn’t like Spurrier? I hated him when he was at Florida and I fell the same way now. Sorry...... I know nothing has happened yet but I gotta shake my head at all of this. ------------------ "To the Smootmobile" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief skin Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Spurrier wants to got to Jacksonville or Tampa, the farthest north would be North Carolina (his parents are living in North Carolina) BANKS SUCKS GET RID OF THE LOSER!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief skin Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Richie Rich Would be making another mistake getting rid of Marty he has built the entire coaching staff around himself so we would be starting over from scratch with a new coach.

OrangeSkin Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 hail2skins: It sounds like Maske is leaning toward Marty being gone too. He was the one that wrote the initial article on the pursuit of Spurrier. bulldog: I totally agree. The meeting tonight is most likely to fire Marty, which isn't smart if they don't have another coach in line.(Spurrier?) It could possibly be to talk about a GM, but unlikely. And did anybody catch Redskins report last night? As far as I know, that show is taped on Thursday, and Sonny mentioned if you're going to fire Marty, you should have another coach lined up, such as Steve Spurrier. George Michael rolled his eyes, and Sonny chuckled. Talk about a hint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Guys, I'm tellin' ya it's already a done deal. My question is, where does it stop? Say we get Spurrier, and over the next two years he's .500 each year. Then, say Gibbs decides he wants to make a comeback. What do we do, fire Spurrier? We'll be no better than Notre Dame, with a new coach every week. ------------------ Aim High...Redskins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 Fox Sports said Danny wanted to meet with Dan after the game but Marty blew him off. Another sign Marty will be canned tommorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
