Re: It's time for Mr. Synder to step down!
 

[quote=Mattyk72;378043]Gibbs wouldn't come back to coach as part of a "marketing stunt". That's just so ridiculous it barely warrants a response. It makes me wonder if you really understand what goes into coaching a NFL team. The time committment alone is insane, there's no way someone does it half-hearted, unless your name is Spurrier of course.[/quote]

Ok, first of all, i never said Gibbs knew anything about a "marketing stunt". If you were Snyder though what better way to spark a downed franchise after a few years of owning it. Secondly, i do not know a whole lot about coaching an NFL team, in fact i know nothing about it. I'm not questioning Gibbs commitment to the team and the hours the coaching staff puts in. Im questioning Snyders motives at this point of bringing him back. My opinion, thats all.

Re: It's time for Mr. Snyder to step down!
 

Is Snyder the best owner in Sports? No. I'll bet I can name name ten current owners that are worse before you can name ten that are better. I'll do you one better - I'll stay in the NFL, you can have the four major team sports.

Just to make it clear - I'm not on the payroll. I just look at Snyder and see a guy who continues to spend a ton of money to put the best possible product on the field. When his first ideas didn't work, he hired new people with new ideas. Then he hired the best coach in our team's history out of retirement. Then he was [I]patient [/I]with him, all the while paying out [B]large [/B]salaries without complaint while being vilified in the media and in his community.

So, no, I don't think it's time to run the owner out on a rail.

[quote=CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR;378008]what im saying is danny needs to stay out of it. just write the checks. He has to face that he not the smartest guy in the room football wise. Have guys who done it for a living not fantasy football. offseason was better this year. But still only have 5 of our 7 picks next year. Who ever wasted that pick on Palmer last year should be fired. That pick could have been a Olinemen or DE in the draft. Who ever wanted to trade those picks for duckett should be fired. We have hit some in FA but mostly that been 50/50. Listen now team is perfect but where are especially far from it. Our oline is old. Washington started to break down the last two years. Smoot hurt so is Rogers. Griffith is pst 30 and has been hurt this is not a young team overall, in the places where we need to be young.Where the improvement from this team. Yes we are 5-4 but how good are we. We blown 14 games the last 3 and a half years. One playoff win since 2000. OUr division record alway bad, expect for 2005.[/quote]


In my opinion, the real problem with personnel decisions is that no one shoulders the responsibility. This whole drafting and selecting free agency by "committee" means that no one gets fired and nothing changes. Cerrato, Gibbs, Snyder, and Im sure others, sit down as a group and make decisions about personnell. When the shit hits the fan, there is no one to take responsibility, and there is no "captain" of the ship. We need a GM who is given the autonomy (nice huh?!) to make all personnel decisions, including selecting his own staff of scouters for new talent.

Well I still think it's absurd. The ultimate money maker is winning football games, and with the way Snyder spends generously on salaries for the players and coaches I think his committment to bringing a winner back to D.C. is glaringly obvious and is much more than a marketing stunt. He hasn't always gone about things the right way, but he is learning.

[quote=ncskinsfanec;377419]Everyone wants Coach Gibbs to step down, but don't seem to realize who's the most responsible for this mess of a franchise that we've had since 1999. I know Snyder is a genius at making money, but an idiot when it comes to building a winning pro football team.[/quote]


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA...

Hey genius, an owner can't just "step down".

Re: It's time for Mr. Synder to step down!
 

[quote=chrisl4064;378021]Well for starters he brought Gibbs back. Honestly and this may be me being the usual pessimist that i am, i believe he brought Gibbs back as a marketing stunt for this team. What better way to sell merchandise and fill the seats than to bring back the beloved coach. Nevermind hes old and haggard, the people love him, worship his every move. I moved off the Gibbs bandwagon when Gibbs moved to NASCAR. I was pissed he left and even more pissed we brought him back. I am not however pissed at Danny, Danny has done what every owner does (or tries to do), fill the seats. To be honest, thats all he cares about, which is fine, but we need to get other management in there who know how to construct a good team.[/quote]You are a pessimist if you weren't happy the day Gibbs came back. That was one of my happiest days as a Skins fan. It hasn't worked out as planned, but I'd say the Danny was more concerned with giving the Skins their best chance to win than the marketing angle. Great marketing was a nice side-effect. My point is that The Danny hasn't meddled with the team since Gibbs was hired. Gibbs has had final say on all football matters, and he has had Snyder's complete financial backing. That to me is an owner allowing his football guy to run the operation. Is that not what you want from an owner?

Hey genius, my title to this thread was a hint of sarcasm directed at the thread titled, "its time for joe to step down." I know an owner can't just, "step down." Put a comma before you start a quotation next time would you.

Re: It's time for Mr. Snyder to step down!

Re: It's time for Mr. Snyder to step down!
 

The threads around here are getting worse buy the hour.

I for one will stick up for Snyder. Yes, he has made some mistakes in the past, but seriously if he didn't want to see his team have success 1. he wouldn't own the team 2. he wouldn't have brought Gibbs back 3. he wouldn't have paid big money for our coordinators either.
