So here you are, Bill Cowher, a proven coach and you're probably getting paid a boatload of money by Snyder. But, at this point in your career don't you want more than just to be head coach? Don't you want something more?

Overall head coaches who act as GMs haven't had a ton of success in the league. Cowher was never a GM or team prez in Pittsburgh and had a great run there. If ain't broke, why try to fix it? I understand the idea of trying to set higher goals and achieve more, but I think he may be setting himself up for failure if he wants complete control.

Wouldn't it seem a little silly to hire another retired coach with a Super Bowl ring(s) who had never been a personnel man before and expect him to excel in both roles?

GM Scud has identified the biggest problem at Redskin Park. Listen, ever since Synder has purchased the team the one constant at Redskin Park during his tenure is not having a seperate GM from the head coach except when he fired Casserly in the beginning of his tenure. With every other avenue been tried why not give this one a try for once?

I think that if Gibbs goes, then Williams should be the HC and he should be allowed to hire his own offensive coordinator. I believe that if Saunders is allowed to stay he will sabotage the team in order to eventually get the job himself. Whoever they hire should not be saddled with Saunders, IMO. Did I mention that I don't care for Al Saunders?

Maybe Charlie Weiss would be available? Notre Dame can't not fire him after they fired Willingham. They guy lost to Navy for God's sake. Of course,the polish is off Weiss a little considering what N.E. is doing now. They're setting records and their offensive coordinator looks like he rode to the stadium on his skateboard.

Exactly!! A smart person and he's not even a Redskins fan. Where's the loyalty for the man that made this team champions!! As far as I'm concerned Joe can coach till he decides to quit.
