I think we should hire CC, but not that CC. CrazyCanuck for GM!

Charley didn't light the world on fire when he was at Houston. But I would welcome him back. He is better than anyone we currently have.

First of all that is debateable and second of all is "better than anyone we currently have" the best standard you can come up with? I'd say we shoot a little higher than "better than anyone we currently have"

Putting together an expansion team is not easy. Personally I think the Texans have drafted good players. David Carr, Dominick Davis, Andre Johnson, Donta Robinson and Demco Ryans I think are good players. And the owner is the one who did not want Bush. Didn't want to pay him so you can't lay that on Charley. Have they put it all together yet? No. But that's not all the GM's fault. I think Charley Casserly is a qualified solid NFL GM who knows the in's and out's of the NFL. Plus he is well respected around the league. If you remember correctly this team was set up real well when he was let go by Snyder. And even Snyder admitted that he got rid of the wrong guy. But someone had to go cause Norv and Charley were not getting along.

So with that being said I would bring the guy back in a heartbeat. Who in our FO has the GM experience and the knowledge that CC has? NO ONE!

He has made my point about why CC should come home to DC. The questions would be would The Dan want him back or would he ever even want to come back? How bad did it end with CC?

I would like to see us get former Titans GM Floyd Reese. Pacman Jones aside, he has drafted the likes of Steve McNair, Jevon Kearse, Vince Young, Eddie Geroge, LenDale White, Bo Scaife, Ben Troupe, Andre Dyson, Keith Bulluck, Samari Rolle, not to mention some sound trades/FA signings....

He resigned after this past year but recently said on ESPN that he would love to come back to league. This article agrees with me:

Reese is Skins’ missing piece - Examiner.com

Reese is also very qualified. He is a proven GM. Why he is not here makes no sense to me. I would hire him over CC.

I have a well placed friend that works for the Texans and he told me before Casserly quit the he was going to leave because his hand was forced in drafting #1 pick Mario Williams. Caserly did not want him. Casserly wanted Vince Young and was willing to trade down to get him. The Texans owner forced Casserly so he quit. Demeco Ryans & co were direct Casserly picks. While Casserly has made mistakes like every GM, he would be a great improvemet over Cerratto.
Cerratto must have comprimising pictures of Snyder. Cerratto must go. It is time for a change.

Thanks for that info. I was wondering why Casserly sort of just left real quickly.

Wow. If these statements are true, then Casserly hasn't deserved the a** reaming he's been taking ever since that draft selection. I haven't heard that anywhere else. You would think that the moment Casserly left the offices of the Houston Texans that would have been his very first statement to the media.

And sportscurmudgeon wrote about was I was thinking before I read his post. Any person that is hired with the title of GM must gear up in a suit of armor and nails because there will truly be a Clash of the Titans when there are open disagreements with Joe Gibbs.

That's why I firmly believe there will NEVER be a general manager as long as Joe Gibbs is associated with this franchise, even after he steps down as head coach. Because he's headed from the sidelines right to the owner's box next to Sndyer after this -- and his title of Team President will stay.

Now, I could be wrong and when Gibbs says "that's it, I quit" he really means it, and walks away from Redskin Park for good. Only then will there be a shot for an outside GM, but that's assuming Snyder is ready to hand over all control to someone other than him or Joe Gibbs. It'll take a whole lot for that to happen.
