I can see where GW wasn't too happy with Blache but he should really cut him some slack. Blache was simply stuck in the middle. If anything Danny should have told GW about his decision prior to talking with Blache.

From the sound of it GW didn't have much of a chance for the job right from the start. And that's fine. You have to surround yourself with people that YOU trust and can work with. But why didn't they just cut him loose rather than dragging it out? That's my only gripe with that process.

I agree. I wish they had been a little less cloak and daggerish with respect to Grills. All they needed to say was "We are going to do a thorough search and interview the best candidates. We anticipate that Gregg will be part of that process." And then do an interview and cut him loose. Leaving him hanging out in space looked real bad and made it seem like they were clueless when in fact I think they were very well organized and did a good job vetting and finding solid solutions.

If you had stopped at "Leaving him hanging out in space looked real bad and made it seem like they were clueless" I'd agree with you 100%. Snyder thought he would make Spagnuolo an offer that he couldn't refuse and was shocked when he didn't get him. Fortunately, he had Zorn on a very small list to choose from. By hiring the coordinators before the coach, it seems that Snyder doesn't understand the "chemistry" aspect of team sports.

I dont hate the Dan i respect him for shellin gout millions and millions for trying to make our wildest dreams come true. Cmon...the man lured gibbs back...he has tried really hard for all the skins fans. There are reasons behind things sometimes that we never see.
i.e patrick ramsey. and other issues.
but you have to keep the faith that in the long run it was for the best.

ya i think snyder will succeed eventually then everyone will love him.He wants to win regardless of price.If we could get rid of the salary cap and turn dan the fan loose with his wad of coin! It may happen with the players union. I heard something about scrapping the cap whaen the contract expires.

That's pretty much how Snyder operates now. He said a few months back that one of his biggest mistakes was hiring Spurrier after about a 15 minute conversation and he never wants to make that mistake again. All he asked Spurrier about, supposedly, was football. But then Spurrier came on and his wife was unhappy here and wanted to go home, Spurrier didn't like working extra hours, etc. so now Snyder and co. asks lots and lots of questions beyond just football.

That said, much of this stuff he should have already known about Williams. It's not like he just walked in off the street.
