Re: Sonny indicates our prayers may be answered

I really, really, really, don't get DS's infatuation with Vinny. I mean, the only success this team has had is when Vinny was subordinate to Gibbs. What is his fascination with this guy? Can someone please, please explain??? I am serious so please don't give me the "he's got pictures" response. For 10 years, more or less, Vinny has been intergral to this team and it has been mediocre, unfocused and, without Gibbs around, team turmoil. How does DS not see this is Vinny? Particularly after the smear campaign on GW.

Any way, if someone has a serious answer - I'd love to hear it.

Well, he was part of the original team that Howard Milstein put together when he was trying to buy the team from the Cooke family and was basically installed as the incoming GM. When Milstein's bid failed he was basically absorbed by the Snyder group in the same role. He had a good (on paper) pedigree from Notre Dame and SF 49ers. Apparently he really ingratiated himself to Snyder and wowed him with his accomplishments.

For most of the time he's been with the team, he's been the face to sign on to whatever Snyder wanted to do. Schottenheimer recognized this and booted him immediately. Spurrier was told he would be getting a different GM but Snyder brought in Vinny instead. Gibbs also recognized this but minimized him rather than fire him. I guess Gibbs & Snyder thought that he had learned from Gibbs (who was awful IMO in the personnel role in Gibbs 2.0) enough to run the whole show himself. I think it's obvious now that he is a total failure in that role.

I REALLY don't get it either. I am sure there are plenty of jobs he can be doing successfully that do not keep a 1.6 Billion dollar francise circling the drain?

The only person who will be able to answer that is DS himself.

Maybe behind closed doors he makes these moving and well thought presentations of the direction of the team. He is doing a good job of holding onto his job.

Just cant wait until he gets the boot!

and this is where you lose me....honestly, have you listened to Vinny speak? Perhaps you were grasping for an answer to help a brother out but Vinny reminds me of the special ed kids. No offense to anyone who has a child like this but looking at him and listening to him when he tries to present a well thought out answer is comedic. I get the feeling everytime I watch him that DS felt sorry for him and gave him a job. How DS would ever let himself be fooled by this joker for sooo long is beyond me.

I could see Vinny over seeing the theme park, or district manager at McDonalds but not building an NFL team. LOL....and to those with jobs as theme park managers or district managers at McDonalds....he wouldn't compare to you. LOL. I just think he needs to find a manager job outside of football cause he sucks.
