Whenever I say him on TV I thought he looked like a high school coach. Between all the yelling and feuding with the players and the big wooden cross he just didnt seem like a professional coach to me. I think that act might fly in high school or a small college but that's about it.

At the same time, you can't kiss the player's butts and give everything to them on a silver platter. As far as Singletary's mentality, that is the type of coach every team needs, although with more head coaching talent.

He has the attitude of a practice and play kinda guy like Shanny. I think they would work well together though.

You are, my friend, living in yo yo land. Haslett just put together a great defensive scheme for all the new players who played in yesterday's victory and you want to replace him.

You are a prime example of a goofy fan who should just keep your suggestions to yourself while you visit the bathroom. LMAO at your "should we" suggestion. I knew someone would say the absurd and you get the dildo for your post.

Luckily JG 2.0 stepped down when he did or this team would be even worse off than it is now as far as personnel.

Between Gibbs, Zorn, and or front office we threw away 6 years and it will take time to fix that mess. Everyone thought the return of Gibbs was great (me too) but after his second year I knew he was done.

You knew he was done after a 10-6 playoff year?

Heavy - A&E TV

I was watching some A&E last night and they have their new show coming out called Heavy (like Intervention or Hoarders for fat people) soon. One of the counselor seems just like Mike Singletary big time. Click on Watch a Preview and jump to the 45 second mark.

The problem with Gibbs 2.0 was that he gave away loads of draft picks that should now be contributing members of the Redskins. His record is what it is, its has lasting "legacy" of giving away draft picks thats really coming back to bite the organization now.

So what did Charlie Casserly's years of bad draft picks do to us then ?

At least the Skins had the picks, made them, and they had the chance to pan out. With Gibbs 2.0 draft pick give-away, the Skins never even had those picks to see if they'd work. That's the thing with the draft, its an inexact thing so you need lots of picks to increase your chances of having more success and the misses dont hurt as much. When you only have a couple of picks you dont have any wiggle room, so a miss on a pick really creates big problems.

So it's fine when you have a lot of picks even though none of them pan out because you had a lot of chances ? I get it.

I'm not saying it fine to have a lot of picks and none work out. I'm saying that having a lot a pick increases your chances of success.

You are over simplifying the so called problem. Even when we had draft picks, we picked poorly. What good are draft picks if you have Vinny Cerrato and Snyder weighing on the decision. For example, the 2008 where we had 10 draft picks, not a single player is note worthy. Only Kareem Moore and Fred Davis are just now starting to make some noise. The rest are all gone or on IR.
The problem was not that we did not have enough draft picks. It was poor player evaluation/management. Proof is even the FA we signed sucked. Truth is Gibbs turned over a playoff to team Vinny and Zorn and they ran the teami nto the ground yet again.

I agree that poor player evaluation has been an issue for the Skins for awhile which is why having as many picks as possible was/is even more important. Gibbs did leave those coaches a playoff team but lets face it he didnt exactly leave them the Steelers of Patriots. I think if anything Gibbs saw the writing on the wall and knew he wrung all he could out of those guys and got out because he knew what was coming.
