But Gibbs was already on-board and went up to Buffalo personally to recruit Williams. I'm not sure if they presser announcing Gibbs had already gone forward, but he was the coach by that point regardless. I have no idea why they are trying to assemble an entire staff before announcing the coach. If Fassel is the guy than say so, obviously that is the implication when you start bringing in Zorn, Ryan, Ramsdell (per JLC's latest post). But no, the Redskins went 0-3 trying to get assistants in place and now are apparently backing off Fassel and saying they may wait until after the Super Bowl to look at Spags and McDaniel. WTF. So you alienated Williams, the entire existing coaching staff by leaving them in the dark, you bring in guys to interview for jobs (including the QB's coach - so much for you Bill Lazor - who is pretty much universally like around here from all I have seen). You completely tear down an entire organizational structure in order to bring in Fassel? It makes no sense, and the way they are going about it is asinine. If you want to blow the thing up and bring in Fassel, then just do it already. Don't let everyone think that they are losing their jobs by bringing in all these people (but leaving the existing coaches in the dark for 16 days) and then back off the process, not name Fassel the coach, and say oh wait, maybe we should interview some Giants and Patriots coaches too just for good measure.
I respect the opinions of guys like Matty and Smootsmack, but no one can convince me that the Skins have handled this thing the right way.
