That would make Cerrato less fireable during this offseason since they would have been working together during this season. Snyder gets his big name coach and then gets to keep his croney in the front office. Win-win for Snyder.

They've already worked together for 3 years in SF. It will be interesting because Shanny may be the one who has final call and sets the direction for the roster but has Vinny execute his plan.

So that means the Skins are setting up a situation where Ceratto stays with Shanahan...Effing disgusting!

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

Come on now. Is Snyder really going after him and ready to throw away the season right now?

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.

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.

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.
