Dan Snyder losing respectability?

Secondly, so what if Spags and Mora went on to more lucrative deals elsewhere? Gregg Williams turned down interview opportunities with other teams and signed an extension with us back in 2006. Does that mean the teams looking for coaches had owners who were "losing respectability"

And Bill Cowher and Pete Carroll want complete control (especially Carroll), it has nothing to do with "this front office structure." It has to do with any team that isn't going to give his head coach complete say. But that shouldn't be seen as a knock on the Redskins.

Anyway, as I've said before, people want to hate on the Redskins now and the fans want to give up. Fine, let them. It's about getting things done between September and hopefully February. It's about winning and "impressing the fans" then. Now? The team just has to do what it feels right to put the team in a strong position come Fall. If fans want to bitch and moan about it, so what? F them. Just have a plan and stick to it

Smootsmack - I for one am glad if Synder told possible head coaching canidates that they will not get complete control. Now I am not a fan of Vinny Cerrato, but I am a fan of seperating the GM from the head coach because if the head coach gets too much say the long range vision of building through the draft usually gets thrown to the wayside as a coach always wants to "win at all costs now so lets go the free agent and trade picks for veterans route".
Now your last comment is where I wonder - do the Redskins and ther front office have a true plan and vision for the team long term? Are the SKins about keeping the core players around and building through the draft? Or are they about signing big time free agents and trading away picks? I for one sure hope its number one and I hope that now that Vinny Cerrato is the man in charge and resposnbile for the direction of the team as far as how it is contructed that Vinny comes out and lets the fans have some idea about the Redskins plan and how they are going about trying to win a Super Bowl.
