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.

True. But remember that these guys are in Mobile scouting players who may be the future of this organization. Being worried about their jobs does nothing to keep them focused on the task at hand.

I disagree. As professionals you have to put that doubt aside and do your job. If you get phased by something like coaching rumors you should probably not be working in the real world.

It time to take the diapers off kids.

Professionals, huh? This is simple personnel management. You don't send people off to do important tasks who are in danger of losing their jobs. Are they going to focused on the task at hand or are they passing out their resumes? These guys haven't dedicated their lives to this organization and their loyalty will only go so far as their next paycheck. If it has to come from elsewhere, then so be it. That is the real world.

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.

You sir, are the consummate professional. I tip my hat to you. Hopefully the guys in mobile have your same attitude.

I'd be amazed to see that happen for most companies. I really doubt many people have that kind of loyalty to their jobs. If they know they are probably going to get fired they are so busy looking for a new job that they push everything else aside.
Most of the time, the only reason why a person who knows layoffs are looming works their ass off is because they're hoping to somehow get spared.

And Yes, people do take that kind of shit personally.

I understand where you are coming from and I realize it is fucked up when your job is on the line like this. Don't get me wrong, I do sympathize, but at the same time this is what comes with working in the NFL. Also the 3-4 change is a good point.

My main point is I do not think this issue is a Redskins-exclusive problem. Of course we want to think about it that way, because it is easy to blame Danny and VC. Imagine teams that fire their coach midseason, etc? The head coaching job is very turbulent in the NFL, and this is what comes with the waters.

In the real world when layoffs are imminent the folks that are talented don't continue to work their asses off, they find greener pastures and bail. Those that stick around usually do so because they aren't in demand and don't have other options.

I'm not saying that the new coach will not be solid, or that the players will all be looking to get out of dodge, but if the outside perception of your company / NFL franchise is that it is managed poorly that is a huge negative in attracting talented people.

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.
