The season was over when we loss to the Lions! The rebuilding stage begins tonight. Sherman Lewis takes over playcalling. Zorn is simply the HC in name and not game planning. Sherman Smith is fired. Todd Collins is the Quarterback til Colt Brennan shows something in preseason. Throw screens til were blue in the face when the opponents are blitzing. Get Marko Mithchell, Anthony Aldrige and Todd Yoder in the game.

It's looking bleak for people who want Ceratto out of town.

Which is why I would prefer M.Schottenheimer as GM, move Cerrato to a more executive/player contract roll, bring in B.Schottenheimer as HC from the Jets, and allow him to assemble his own Asst. Coach's, pray for an uncapped yr so we can dump all the big contracts and try to replace some of the older guys especially O-line, pick up a couple more younger guys for the D-line. Pick up a couple more LB's. Dump Betts, Cartwright, and evaluate Portis as keeping or trade bait or simply cut(with no CAP).

Give total football control to M.Schottenheimer, DS just simply write the checks and enjoy the game.

Ding ding ding ding...ding! Someone make sure this gets to Snyder's desk ASAP! Before he can go out and hire another token.

I like your ideas. A lot. I still doubt Snyder will ever turn the team over to anyone, regardless of how proven they are or how big their reputation is. My guess is Cerrato is still here a year from now, two years from now, because it allows the tiny man to play he de facto GM game he likes so much. He'll continue to burn through coaches and players, but it makes exactly no difference who those people are because the shit show will always be the same.

I don't think the problem is Vinny as much as Snyder. Is Snyder really going to hire someone and step back?

If Snyder ever want to win any more he had better hire a good coach and then step back, and let them coach and maybe the team might win some games. After today and I was at the game, Snyder has to be embarrassed for the way his dumb ass offense lost this game. D can't do it every game nor should they have to. I've said this before but the problems the skins have now is Synders fault. And these problems started years ago when he bought this team. He's hired the coachs, Vinney, the high price players etc. and we are getting no were. Bet we don't win more than 5 games this year, and this would be nothing more than a gift from God.

Don't believe this one bit. Its too premature and is by an untrustworthy source. When was the last time John Czarniki came out with a good report?

[SFREDSKIN]

I hope you are right, I don't care for this over rated guy.

[saden1]

At this point you have to offer 10% ownership and GM duties to get a good coach. Firing Marty Shoty cost him any chance of hiring brand name coaches.

[Hog1]

WHO the HELL knows if Shanahan can excell with GM and coaching? I personally am NOT ready to toss the team to anyone who will take it. No point in not, or even risking getting something as bad or worse.............

[Defensewins]

Getting a respected football man like Marty, making him GM and giving him final say will go along way to being able to land a good coach. Then that new HC coach hires his staff. But Snyder does not understand that process!
This problem is so easily solved, but Snyder will never swallow his pride and make this move.

Someone will want to coach in DC. But, it would not surprise me if a few guys (even lower profile ones) turned us down. It's pretty sad that Spags turned us down and ended up accepting a job with the Rams.

Exactly, someone is going to look at this team and see all the talent and think they can turn us around. Will that be a Shannahan or a Holgrem or so on only time will tell.

yeah, and so far he's done an awesome job...

[Slingin Sammy 33]

Shanahan isn't the answer. That incredibe run in 96-98 was with Elway & TD. His last three years were 24-24.
