Gibbs says it can be weeks...

[SmootSmack]

From today's Washington Post

washingtonpost.com

"Snyder and Vinny Cerrato, the team's executive vice president for football operations, spent Monday and Tuesday attempting to contact and interview assistant coaches Fassel wanted -- league sources said they included Baltimore's Rex Ryan, Seattle's Jim Zorn and San Diego's John Ramsdell -- but contractual stipulations precluded all but Zorn from interviewing."

I hope this puts to rest the notion that they are going after assistant coaches without the potential head coach's consent. Although it's interesting to note that the other day the Post also indicated Zorn was wanted by Williams.

I don't know why they even bothered talking to the Chargers. Norv isn't going to do the Redskins any favors.

Thanks for putting that issue to rest. Though I'm sure we'll still hear it from those that refuse to believe that Snyder has any clue as to what he's doing.

what is your opinion of this frachise? Do you think its making the right decision by dragging this one? Do you feel that this move is alienating the players, coaches, and Gibbs since he has been giving support for GW?

To me, this is the most important hiring Snyder has ever had, and I think he is messing it up, which i dont think I am alone.

Its hard to say that he's messed it up when he still hasn't even done anything. I think he's just covering all his bases and making sure he doesn't rush in to this decision.

Like you said, it is his most important hire. Well, he hasn't made it yet, so we can't judge him on it. You can't mess something up before you even do it.

I think thats what most fans are thinking....even though he hasn't done anything, they still think he's going to mess it up.

I think the fact that he allegedly hasn't said a word to Williams in a week is why people feel that he's already messing up.

He allegedly hasn't said a word. None of us know if thats true or not. Not even the person that reported it.

in a lot of peoples eyes he has all ready messed things up. I know people say he is covering his bases, but seriously. According to some new sources, which I will find dont worry, Jim Mora Jr had the job if he wanted it, Fassell had the job if they could have gotten the assistance nailed down. Some people out here seem to think that the reporters who cover this team from inside the locker room and outside dont really know what they are talking about. Even the insiders on ESPN who generally get the info pretty dead on more often than not seem to feel and hear that Snyder is screwing this thing up. That GW may not even take the job now, and Fassell may walk away too after what transpired the last couple of days. I for one will generally listen to the people who cover these guys for a living and know more than all of us here combined.

Plus, I have a friend who is a state trooper in louden county who does detail for the team and keeps in touch with some guys on the team, and he says they are none to happy about whats going on. saying the majority of the team is set on GW as the coach and think its incredibly stupid how this has dragged on.

How do we know if GW was or wasn't offered the job already? How do we know if GW is asking for more than what Snyder is offering him?

Maybe Snyder offered him the HC job, but GW is asking for more?

Look, in no way am I trying to defend Snyder. I wish we could just hire GW and get this all over with, but the fact is that we have NO CLUE whats going on behind those closed doors.

Yea and yesterday while I was hanging out with Gibbs he was taking calls and advising Snyder not to make any moves until he gave the OK. When Gibbs hung up the phone he looked at me and shook his head saying "Man I love this Snyder guy but he is in such a rush to hire a new head coach and keeps calling me every five minutes. I just have to tell him to keep on looking and we will find the right guy fo the job and he is really fighting his guts out to find the next coach). While he was saying that Gibbs phone rang again and he told me to hold on it was Snyder on the phone. He walk away for some privacy but I still heard Gibbs trying to calm him down then he hung up. He walked back over just shaking his head and said "man he is going crazy with al the fans up in arms about what going on and I told him to keep fighting gut out and that we will find a high quality guy to be head coach". I feel sorry for Gibbs.

whether you want to poke fun at the person who I get info from is out of my control. I can only say what he has heard from guys in that locker room. was i there, no but still have to believe him when all other reporters are saying the team is really supporting williams. No need to be a sarcastic ass about it.
