Byner says goodbye to DC.

[SFREDSKIN]

I can't comprehend how someone like DS who claims to have been a huge Redskins fan growing up, treat Byner this low. They could have treated this with more dignity especially with his story as a player and coach for the skins. I know people will say "it's business", to me that's BS. This is our corporate America society attitude and I hate it.

I really don't get why they let him go. Does anyone have any real reasons for this? I don't think it's because Zorn wanted to surround himself with friends, there has to be something else. He did not do a bad job at all. It's not right how we treated him.

Ask Bobby Mitchell - - who had a longer and far more distinguished career on the field for the Redskins than did Earnest Byner - - about how things "happen" in the Skins FO.

It is a long and sordid tale...

I think we can say BM is not DS's biggest fan.

I read a little but about this a long time ago. Charley Casserly was promoted over Bobby for GM even though Mitchell had been with the team longer adn was more qualified. Bobby had the title of assistant GM. I always believed that it had something to do with race. I certainly can't prove this in any way but sometimes you wonder. The guy is a HOF player and then moved to the FO. He was an employee for how many years? Why wasn't he promoted over Casserly? I'm not saying in any was possible that Jack Kent Cooke was a racist in any way possible. But sometimes I think it's a comfort thing and Cooke was probably more comfortable with a white GM. And I don't have a problem with that. It was his team. I remember Bobby M. being interviewed on Doc Walker's show and you could tell Bobby wanted to say some things that he just couldn't say.

Now regarding Byner I just think EB is not going to be the kind of guy who is an ass kisser. He's not the corporate kind of guy that Snyder likes. Neither was GW or Marty S. He probably coaches Portis really hard and gets on him for not practicing. But who knows?

From now on if anyone is fired or let go by the Skins it was because they did not kiss up to Snyder. That will just be the new given rule so we don't even need a thread we will just know what happened.

There isn't anything to wonder about with Earnest Byner. His work speaks for itself with the results he has had, and the person that he is speaks for itself as well. As far as Dan Snyder offering a contract to Byner and then pulling it back when he came in to sign it, well, that speaks for itself too.
