Steve Largent rips Snyder's handling of the team

[SmootSmack]

It's one thing to be patient, it's another to just let a mess continue. Keeping Zorn (and Vinny) around much longer is just letting a mess continue.

Additionally, I think if Snyder had less patience either Williams or Fassel would be our head coach but instead he put it in VC's hands to go through a process and be the one to select our head coach. This process it turns out included vindictiveness and has turned rather disastrous for us.

Wait SS I thought Snyder and Williams didn't get along, and when it became clear (after like 4 interviews) they couldn't work together then came the search for a different HC? I mean the way you phrased it here sort of sounds like Snyder might have gone w/ Williams if Cerrato's involvement had been less or different?

...not knowing much about Snyder prior to his ownership, do you have any intuition how a "media" guy can be so clueless about shaping an image? I mean whatever reputation he had is sinking like lead...and the stunts w/ Zorn over the last couple weeks only worsen the image, right? How does the dude not see what everyone else in football sees?

Yeah there's no question in my mind if Cerrato wasn't there or wasn't given so much authority then Williams may have been our HC, and if not him then definitely Fassel. I mean I don't think Snyder and Williams are great friends or anything but they could have worked together. Cerrato was the issue for Williams (and Williams for Cerrato), ditto with Fassel. And Snyder took Cerrato's side.

I don't think he's naive to what's going on, and I expect he'll make serious changes this off-season
