Why are there people sticking up for Snyder on this one. He is such an ego maniac that he has to do things his way. In business and he understand this when your business model fails, ultimately you go out of business. Certainly Snyder has had his fair share of bankruptcy dealings to know that when you fail it starts with the leadership of the business.

In this case, it is the Redskins he is heading up. He insisted on keeping Gibbs Assistants (minus Gregg Williams and Earnest Byner) and then interviewing the head coach. Who on earth would do that? Why would a coach want to come to place where the staff is already been selected for you?

In a business when you are asked to head a project or company, you get to pick your people that you know that you can trust to what you want them to do. I don't blame Zorn because certainly when you have the opportunity to be a head coach with all the money and prestige you get, you take it but was Zorn the best candidate for the job from the interview pool? NO, he was not. Schwartz, Spagnoulo, Jim Harbaugh, and the Indy coach were far better candidates than Zorn. The Redskins claimed that they turned down all those candidates or they weren't interested. I am sure that those candidates would never say that they weren't interested because they wouldn't want another organization to look and see how they handled the interview process and bad mouth a team.

So Snyder struck out there and decided to make a patch work coaching staff. Then he and his racketball partner decided not invest money in the offensive line that had not really been upgraded even prior to coach gibbs returning.

This is totally baffling and confusing. OK, so they put their fingers in the dam and hoped that nothing would go wrong. Mid-season, 6-2 and things were cruising until they hit the hardest part of their schedule playing some of the most physical teams in the league starting with Pittsburgh which just out muscled our offensive line and put intense pressure on campbell causing him to throw his first interception of the year. Right then and there, the front office should have made plans in the off season to either draft an OL or sign a premium OL in free agency. Instead they invested more in the defense, which I am not against because of the lack of pressure we put on the QB, but a lot of money was invested in two players when they could have probably gotten Hall cheaper than what they did and they may have been able to get Haynesworth down too.

I know that Dockery re-signed here, but what about the tackle position and what about RG where Randy Thomas and Samuels were aging? They did nothing other than sign a player who had eaten his way out of the NFL (Williams)and then signed another player who played sporadically with a couple of NFL teams (Bridges). Why were these positions ignored? Don't even start on Rhinehart because if you are a third round pick and can't get on the field you have real problems. We could have drafted players that could have helped right away. Instead we draft DB and some LBs which was a need, but serious what does Snyder have against OL and DL?

Snyder hired Cerrato to manage the personnel and coaches of this team. When you hire a guy whose track record has been average at best and the money doesn't match up with the win/loss record, then you have to make a change and accept responsibility. Snyder wants to put this on Zorn, well he should look no further because he thought he was being some sort of NFL scout by saying that he thought that this guy was going to be a really good NFL coach. When Cerrato goes as well as Zorn, the only one who will be left to hold the bag will be Snyder and it is a bag filled with garbage. He made it now he has to take it.
