Do you trust Snyder?

[Paintrain]

Based on past history and what Snyder claims that he has learned from Gibbs tenure, do you trust him to do the right thing in the coaching search? (mods can you do a yes/no poll)

I'm not a huge fan of Gregg Williams, but all the players seem to support him and Bill Cowher's not walking thru that door people. For the sake of continuity and locker room politics it seems like Grilliams is the way to go, but will Snyder do the right thing?

I am all for continuity. Can Al saunders and gregg williams just be dual head coaches? I think we are starting to grasp the offense that saunders has brought and I like what GW did this year on defense. But i don't think GW can effectively be the D coordinator and head coach. and is it me or does gregg williams just not seem to have that leadership feel? I guess GW should have the chance to be head coach as much as anyone since everyone is a wild card at this point and he keeps the most continuity.

I'd do a poll but I'm unclear on the question on you're asking. Is it "Will Snyder Do the Right Thing?" or "Will Snyder Name Williams Head Coach?" Those aren't necessarily the same thing

Will Snyder do the right thing.

Possibly. But we need to define "the right thing." For Snyder, as for any other owner, doing the right thing means delegating the decisions to someone who knows what they are doing. In other words, making the decision himself would not be doing the right thing.

He is the freaking owner of the team and I have never heard of an owner turning over hiring of his head coach to someone else. so Thats crazy to think doing the right thing is letting someone else hire your coach. Yes I'm sure Gibbs will have a hugh role in thid decision but it all comes back to Snyder for the final say.

Depends on the owner. Some GM's make those kind of calls and basically run the whole show.

"I have never heard of an owner turning over the firing of this head coach to someone else."
"I'm sure Gibbs will have a hugh[sic} role in thid[sic] decision but it all comes back to Snyder for the final say."

What on earch did you think I was suggesting? Of course Snyder will have the final say, but I would only have faith in his making the right decision if he discusses it with other people in the FO.

Essentially by saying that you want Gibbs to have a "hugh" role in the decision, you are supporting my original point. Thanks.

Here's an example for you: Wayne Huizenga, owner of the Miami Dolphins, has given Bill Parcells the responsibility of hiring the next Dolphins coach. Parcells has been named team president of the Dolphins, and he promptly fired coach Cam Cameron, and he will be hiring the Dolphins next coach. Parcells, I'm sure, will have to inform Wayne H. of his choice before the official announcement is made of Parcells' decision, but the decision on hiring and firing coaches is commonly left to general managers and/or team presidents.

i think the question should be something along the lines of Yes or No: "Do you trust Snyder to make the best football decision for this team as opposed to trying to make a major splash (aka Spurrier 2.0)"

It seems like the majority of the players want Williams to be the next head coach and as of now we have no word as to whether or not he's even going to get an interview. Something about that doesn't sit well with me.

[SmootSmack]

Pretty loaded question I'd say

[MTK]

No matter what he does there will be a bunch of fussing from people. I can see it starting already. A lot of people are already set on Williams and anything else is a huge mistake. My advice is to keep an open mind and relax. The process has just begun.

But couldn't Snyder just play along for once? What's all the suspense about? He could nip this right in the bud quickly, I would think.

You know it's funny. Snyder stated that one of the things he has learned from Gibbs is patience. Some of us applauded that, but now here we are begging for him to make a quick decision. LOL

Hey hey HEY!!! Stop with the demand for logic and consistency. Jeez, next you'll want everyone to be rational.

I prefer obtuseness, it promotes discussion and gives me something to do in the offseason.
