Way to budget your time well, guys.

Probably the ones not in danger of getting fired.

Game. Set. Match.

Here's another thing:

JLC is reporting that the Skins may try to go with Fassel as HC and Rex Ryan as DC. Just for a minute, let's pretend that this happens because it shows why the people down at the Senior Bowl are having a harder time doing their job since everything is in limbo.
Rex Ryan runs a variation of the 3-4, and he would probably want to keep it that way if he came here. We don't really have the pieces to run that D right now so we'd have to bring in FAs and draft guys to fit it.
Wouldn't it stand to reason that the style of D the Redskins want to run next year will determine the types of college players that we look to draft?

Maybe this is a big part of the reason the guys down in Alabama are so upset.

They're upset b/c Post article is front page headlines Fassel lead candidate. That's their asses and many core players along with them most likely.

What "core players" are going to be cut if Fassel/Ryan come aboard? Campbell, Portis, Moss, Cooley, Samuels, Landry, Carter, Fletcher, Washington, Smoot, Rogers, McIntosh, Rabach, Sellers, Thomas?? Any of those "core players" going anywhere?

Yes, most likely a few of these guys are out. Who knows with new coaches what will happen. Totally differenct philosophy man.

there's a pretty good perspective article on this on CNNSI.com

Its written by Ross Tucker...one time Redskin, and it has good insight into how this kind of change affects players even if they aren't let go

Come on, thats the perspective of players on 2 of the worse teams in the NFL. Thats not the case here yes some players will go but I'm sure who ever comes here is not cleaning house and with our cap they couldn't if they wanted to.

This is really getting fun and most of it is based on rumors.

The process to hire a new coach is intended to be thoughtful and deliberate.

I happen to think the Redskin assistant coaches are great! I am much more reserved about Cerrato. Someone has to take responsibility for the woeful use of draft choices over the past several years. Isn't it him?

Anyone else think it's pretty lame that our front office hasn't even given our assistants the courtesy of a phone call during this head coach search? I know "freak out" threads are frowned upon, and that's not the intention here. But I'm pretty upset with the way we're treating our staff.

Clipped this from the post:
Players and coaches are distraught over the poorly worded press release regarding Cerrato's promotion and Jim Fassel's emergence as a candidate with multiple interviews. They are taking a lot of grief from other team''s people down there and, according to some league sources, the word "laughingstock" is being thrown around in regards to how the team is operating.

Which coaches are down there? Does anybody know? Or is it scouts?

Matty:

Agree Danny Boy is in a tough spot here - even though it is mostly of his own making. But talking to the coaches might do something if the conversation had something to do with their future with the team. Are Skins' coaches at the Senior Bowl looking for talent or are they there looking for jobs for themselves? In times of uncertainty, it would be natural for them to be doing both - - and that means they won't be doing the talent-search function as best they can.

Snyder is keeping things as hush-hush as possible. And that seems to apply across the board, coaches included. As least he's consistent.

Yea, he's keeping it very quite. To me that implies, all or most all of the coachs need to be looking for work. Because the NEW HC won't be GW. Get ready for the FOSSIL & whoever he brings in with him.

If GW was getting the job he would have it NOW IMO. I hope I'm wrong, just have a bad feeling that the club is regressing back to the same ole shit!

who cares if we are called a laughingstock, how gay.... i love what snyder is doing right now.. we had gibbs and williams for four years and it got us to the playoffs twice and both times we could have easily missed those. i like the fact we can rebuild the coaching staff and keep our core players. i want continuity as well, but a change is a risk that could put us over the edge. i dont in particular like saunders as our OC and i have always liked fassel. Zorn and Fassel could help Campbell out more than what saunders has been doing... (protecting) campbell. i think snyder is wanting to help campbell out with these moves... fassel and zorn our great qb groomers and rex ryan is a great DC. i love williams and want him to stay, but i dont see it happening if fassel gets the HC position, so i would love to take rex ryan.
