Re: Snyder sell the team

Take a deep breath, let things play out, then judge. We may think we know what's going on, but we don't, and any kind of reaction right know is knee jerk at best.

Re: Snyder sell the team

Cpayne5,

Coming off a playoff season stability should've been the course of action. I'd love to have seen Saunders offense next year with Gibbs out of the way. I believe even though Saunders handled play calling Gibbs still had a lot of influence. No organization in business or sports is successful with constant turnover.

I'll be real excited watching all the false starts next year when we switch to a west coast offense.

Snyder is a meddling twerp and we'd be better off without him. He has his lap dog Vinny in there as 'God of all football', it's a joke.

From the Washington times yesterday;

Earlier this week, when told of Cerrato's promotion, an NFC executive couldn't stop laughing.

"It gives the rest of us a better shot," he said. "I'm sure the rest of the NFC East is breathing easier."

They are today, too.

I have been patient and letting things 'play out' for 8 years with Snyderatto. You act like this something new and has never happened before. Just when we start making progress with Gibbs, everything gets blown up.
What irks me is the way the old staff was left in the dark. These guys are not some ordinary group. They (GW & Saunders) are some of the most qualified and respected coaches in the league. Why get rid of the them for the sake of change?

I don't think they were 'released' for the sake of change.. Offensively, Saunders was brought in to take the team to the next level. It didn't happen. We were 15th in offense and 18th in scoring, that's mediocre. Granted, Gibbs handcuffed him and he didn't really 'run the show' but if management wasn't comfortable with how things are going they made that move for the betterment of the team.

As for GW, it's simple. He wasn't going to be the head coach and it'd be an insult, especially to someone with an ego the size of GW, to be subordinate to another head coach.

Pretty much.
