We were trying to build something in the eyes of a three time super bowl redskin and its about to be shit out like a bad taco!

You can't be talking about SmootSmack. He would not think nor say any such thing.

Are you referring to the destruction of what we've built? I just can't wrap my mind around Fassel being a good coach...and how complete overhaul of this staff is a good idea. I realize that there were going to be changes, but the guys liked Williams...I imagine they liked other coaches too...Bugel comes to mind...how can one justify turning his back on these players

Maybe there is hope?? Post has been fueling this fire!!

If Al needs to go so be it, just not the Defensive philosophy please:

The person familiar with the process said Zorn's interview was not necessarily tied to a specific candidate -- that he is considered someone who could work under several of the potential head coaches on Snyder's list.

Everything I've heard says Bugel stays if he wants to stay. If it were up to me, I would have promoted Williams to head coach and nothing more (I don't think he deserves it by any means, but it's the least "dangerous" move), I would have hired Jim Schwartz to replace Williams, moved Jerry Gray up to defensive coordinator, let Blache retire as he has supposedly hinted at. Give Danny Smith his shot as a D-Backs coach.

And offensively, I'm torn on what I would have done with Saunders but I definitely would have trimmed the staff somehow. Maybe let Breaux and Burns walk and consolidate their responsibilities under Byner.

I think what we will find out once all the dust settles, if GW isn't the guy, is that he was demanding similar control over the franchise as Gibbs had and Snyder wouldn't give up that control...and I don't blame Snyder at all. It's one thing to give complete control over the franchise (that you grew up a fan of and truly love) to someone like Gibbs who the Danny idolizes and is a HoF coach. But it is another thing to give control to someone unproven. GW was not successful in Buffalo and has been inconsistent here.

I have been for setting up the same structure as with Gibbs, Bethard and JKC. Maybe this is what Snyder was trying to set up and GW wouldn't go for it. Obviously this is speculation, but before we dump on Snyder we should wait and see how this shakes out. One thing we should all know for sure is Snyder is a true Redskins fan and he wants to win. We should be greatful for that because I think at least half of the NFL owners are more businessmen worried about profits rather than winning.

So, we just hand the team over to Cerrato? What has he proven.
