My New "It All Makes Sense" Theory

OK here goes... It just hit me...

I think Joe Gibbs retiring threw Dan Snyder for a real loop. He did NOT see it coming and thought he could talk him out of it. I also think that everyone has understood that Bill Cowher is Dan's number ONE choice. He thought it'd work out jus tright that Gibbs' contract would run out right when Cowher is ready to come back. Well, since he isn't coming back this year...

Obviously, Cowher will want to assemble his own complete staff, so...

Dan hires an OC who will be OK with leaving after one year (Zorn would go back to Seattle to be Mora's OC) and he knew that Gregg would only stay if given the head job (and he doesn't want Gregg to have the job because he wouldn't be OK with being HC for just one year), so he goes with Blache at DC, who he figures would be easy to send off after this year as well when Cowher will bring in his own.

OK, go ahead give me a hard time about adding another "theory" ... but I think that's why this OC & DC before hiring HC, because whoever ends up HC is just going to keep it warm for a year.... Thoughts?

Re: My New "It All Makes Sense" Theory

If true the Skins fans need to riot and kill Snyder. Thats saying hey lets waste 2008 and a chance at a Lombardi for a Head Coach who has won 1 in like 15 years. Just because he has a chin doesnt mean he will win SBs hell Joe Gibbs won 3 and he couldnt win another in his comeback and he fought his guts out. If Snyder wants Cowher next year then he should of kept Saunders on offense and promoted Gregg Williams to HC. Then the Skins can build on last season and if we fall apart then its Cowher Power time instead of making Campbell learn Zorns system only to can him and learn what ever system Cowher will use with whatever OC he would bring in. If Snyder brings in new coaches to can them a year later Jason Campbell will be finished and it would make Snyder look like a complete and utter retard.

I understand the overall frustration with wasting a year until Cowher comes along, but the kill Snyder comment is out of line.

Whatever, who here would actually take that literally?

I personally agree with most of what Gremlin said there, yes perhaps killing DS is a bit severe, but certainly boycotting would not be far-fetched in that scenario.

And WaldSkins you are right on. It worked for him in college right? Lets at least keep cycling guys through until something works.

I want to know which jackass just gave me neg rep for this post. It was a damn joke. I wasnt serious. All the stuff that is said about Snyder and I make a joke about rioting and someone wants to give neg rep for that? SOme of you people need to grow some thicker Skin. Thats real childish. My post has alot of points mixed in with a upset feeling over the direction over the team. I guess someone thought I was really going to kill Snyder. What a joke.

Re: My New "It All Makes Sense" Theory

Then why not keep Williams and the fire him if he had a bad year? I think your theory is wrong.

Because Gregg Williams had said when he signed his contract as DC that he wanted a guarantee to be HC when Gibbs left... I do't think he was going to stay as just DC for a some new HC.

Also... Snyder wouldn't go with him as HC, because if we have a good season under him, how would he explain firing him after one successful season for Cowher?

and I should say... I don't like any of this theory personally... if we wanted to go "young" and "fresh", then Snyder would have waited to go hard after McDaniels from the Patriots for OC and Spagnulo from the Giants for DC. Zorn and Blache are not young, fresh guys. I truly think that there is a fairly decent possibility that Cowher will be courted after this year...

Oh yeah? They would have gone after two coordintors of the two best teams for a lateral movement? And the Giants/Pats would have let them?

Why are we waiting until after the SuperBowl to hire a HC, could we be considering one of these guys perhaps? And if we are, is this not a youth movement? And would Snyder plausibly give up on the "youngster" after just one year?

My point: There are alot of holes in your argument. Anything could happen of course, including Cowher next year (though I doubt it), but the reasons you've used to argue make no sense.

First...

Let me explain what I meant was that I don't see what's going on a "youth" or "fresh" movement... After posting it, I realized that those 2 wouldn't take lateral movements anyway, but I was just trying to get at the fact that I don't think the idea right now is "long term" ... I think there is a strong possibility that the idea is what do we do with 2008 until Cowher is available?

and Second... More than one reputable source said that there was a guarantee in GW's contract... although now, 3 years later, for the first time someone said that wasn't true.

All of you with your "kill this person and that person" need to stop right now. Emotions are running high, I get that. But let's be rational

They need to realize comments like this could land them in court if the person they are referring to feels threatened.
