I still don't see how they are not professionals. A non-professional would not be scouting at the top tier of the sport.

People in other jobs have to work their asses off when there are imminent layoffs. Do they complain, and get "hurt"? No they continue to work their asses off, and if they get fired it sucks but that is the REAL WORLD.

If you can't deal with that kind of stuff then don't work for the Redskins. Simple economics IMO.

It time to take the diapers off kids.

I don't think it says anywhere that they are "phased" by other coaches ragging on them. What they are "phased" by though, is the lack of communication from the front office during the process, and the poor timing and "mis-wording" of Vinny's promotion. Not to mention they are trying to focus on coaching at the senior bowl despite learning over the past few days that their future with the team is very much in doubt. They could be interviewing with other clubs, or at least preparing to.

I think the media are pissed off that "dumb shit" and "viet cong" are being so secretive that they are just trying to put pressure on them by reporting this kind of garbage.

Lol conspiracy-like theory. While it would be entertaining to think that is the case, it is most probably the fact that JLC and is running out of information to keep his blog up with the demands he is getting. That's why you report a smaller thing and blow it up to seem like a big deal.

Gives him time until a coach is hired and makes the fans feel better.

So I guess the owner should call them every ten minutes and up date them so they can be named as the unidinified sorce for their information.

I think we're missing the point here -- the problem isn't with coaches who are 'acting like 7th graders'. The sad fact is that among people throughout the league who know far more than any of us, this organization is still perceived as a laughingstock.

how much of this can you blame on Gibbs? He really gave no notice. I have a hard time believing that he is "consulting Snyder to act in this way

I think Matty makes a good point regarding the possibility of GW possibly screwing things up, if by screwing things up he insists on a GM coming into the mix. If GW says he wont take the job unless a GM comes on board and Snyder is insistant that hinm and Vinny can do the jo then Snyder has a right to look for another HC canidate that will act as a puppet

Hasn't Snyder learned his lesson with hiring ex-Cowboy or ex-Giant coaches or players. The Skins don't need their cast off garbage.

I've heard on countless news/sports outlets that Joe is endorsing GW being his replacement.

Pleas give us these sources and not a source that has a source that has a source etc... Its funny all these writers keep throwing out all these ideas of what is going on and once in a while get something right and they seem to forget all the things they miss on.

It is privately. I just read an article that said that. Gibbs would never say it publically.

Well that's a ringing endorsement of the coach he likes so much.

To me, I'm not bothered by the assistants feeling "upset". What I'm bothered by is that coaches around the league are rumored to be thinking we're a laughingstock. Doesn't that tell you something?

Of course, other coaches are not in the know when it comes to interviews between Danny and GW. Maybe Danny thinks it won't work with GW. But it's never good when coaches around the league think you're a joke.

Ditto. Gibbs brought instant respectability to the franchise and no matter what went on behind the scenes the impression was Gibbs was in charge. Right now if this article is accurate, the perception from people in the NFL is that the franchise is back in disarray. Not exactly a good way to attract or retain the best coaches and free agent players.

The sky is not falling...yet. But Snyder needs to make a move within the next day or two and not let this drag on or this perception will take hold and in many peoples minds around the NFL be a reality.

I'd like to know which scouts are doing the "laughing". The ones who recommended taking JaMarcus Russell with the first pick last year? Or the ones who thought Jammal Anderson was a top ten prospect?

Way to budget your time well, guys.
