Why the backstabbing?

That's comical that you think he didn't came here for Spurrier. What were David Patten's words at the press conference?

"He told me they were going to call me at midnight. He asked me for my cell number and that Coach Gibbs was going to call me. I was like 'Coach Gibbs?' I feel like I have been fairly successful but I didn't think I had done that much to receive that kind of attention. It was almost too good to be true. At 12:02 I was watching the clock. I had my cell phone beside me and I was trying to be cool like I am supposed to be in this situation."

That asshole came because he wants to play for Coach Gibbs. Maybe he handles it differently when Gibbs leaves, maybe he doesn't. Players look forward to playing for coaches. Any arguement to the contrary is just dumb.

You're right that Spurrier was a big attraction for Coles, but nowhere in the contract did it say that you had to play for the Redskins as long as Spurrier was the coach. It said you had to play for the Redskins, period. I think Coles wants to win, but he's more interested in his own production than he is in being a team player. But I'll address that in another post.
