Sally Jenkins Strikes Again!

I have to say that I am quite worried about this sabotage attempt by Sally Jenkins. It's one thing to say, "Well, that's the Washington Post for you. Don't believe everything they say." But, her article has made the Fox Sports' web page: Fox Sports

I am going to be pissed if this deters a really great coaching candidate away from coaching the Redskins next year.

Anyone who gets deterred by a Sally Jenkins article.... is not a great coaching candidate.

I said to my brother, and fully believe, that as important as it is that the new head coach is a good football coach, it is even more important that he be able to win the hearts and minds of most of the media. I doubt anyone picked will win over the WP triumvirate, but the new coach needs to be able to be media friendly and savvy.

It is certainly having the effect that I suppose was intended on other media outlets. They bought it hook, line, and sinker. This is a real hatchet job at the time that the Redskins are looking for a new HC. I can't help but think that the timing of this article was intentional and mean-spirited.

Hopefully, it won't have any effect on the coaching candidates.

From the Fox Sports article:

"Any coaching candidate... should beware that the job will require more than just answering to owner Dan Snyder. Robert Griffin III apparently now has influence over the franchise's future as well. Griffin has 'bragged to teammates' about his close relationship with Snyder and his influence over the direction of the franchise, according to Sally Jenkins of The Washington Post. The report also indicates that Griffin has alienated some of his receivers as well as members of the offensive line with his actions, making team unity a tall order for whoever is tasked with leading the franchise going forward."
