Considering the first few games of that season (total blow outs by Green Bay, Philly, NY, etc), and the remarkable turn-around that followed, they appeared to be a team on the rise. Why would you fire a coach at that point? The answer in this case was that Marty had personnel control, something The Dan can't live without, and something that will doom the skins until he is no longer the owner (and, unfortunately, he's pretty young).

You might as well find a new team to cheer for because Danny is going to be the owner for a long time. LOL I give Danny a by on letting him go because he was still a young owner and thought this Steve S. was the deal as he dominated the college game. He took a risk and lost but I feel he has learned to take a step back and let the coaches do their thing. How many times did we see anything on Snyder this year he was as quite as he's ever been.
