Very nice, this had made my day. Now, let's hope DS makes a good move and brings in someone who is football-intellegent.

Cerrato's statement:

Vinny Cerrato has announced his resignation from the Washington Redskins.

Cerrato has served as the club’s executive vice-president of football operations for the past two years, and previously served in five different roles, beginning in 1999.

In a statement, Cerrato said he has had numerous conversations with team owner Daniel M. Snyder over the last few weeks regarding the next steps for the club.

“We agreed that the franchise needs someone different in this position,” Cerrato said. “I’m thankful to Dan Snyder and other members of his ownership team for the opportunities I’ve been given over the years.”

“Of course, I am disappointed with this year’s results, but I strongly believe that with outstanding draft picks and encouraging performance by our younger players, we have laid a strong foundation for the franchise.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with some great coaches such as Joe Gibbs, Greg Blache and Sherman Lewis, great people on the Redskins staff, and, most especially, some of the best professional football players in the world. I wish them all the best. I’ve also had the privilege of working for a franchise supported by the most loyal fans in the NFL.”

The team’s owner thanked Cerrato for the work he has accomplished.

“More importantly, he is my friend, and he has always been there for me and the Redskins,” Snyder said. “He’s the consummate optimist and has always made decisions based on what would be the best for the team."

No Zorn in the Coach list.

He shouldn't be. He is a terrible offensive coordinator and head coach.

What would he call Zorn a great for? Doesn't have nearly the track record.

I think it's more the naming of SLewis and GBlache. No problem saying Great Coach in Joe Gibbs and great staff like JZ, GB, SL et al. But to list the current, without a mention somewhere of Zorn after he touted him, I think was very spiteful. The Sally Jenkins article gave a good thought on it.

Spiteful, and out of line in my opinion. I heard Rock had a few choices words about Vinny. Not sure what though

I think Vinny showed his true colors by dissing Zorn like that.

I heard on Mike & Mike this morning that Vinny was at Notre Dame prior to the Redskins.

Look how well they've done in the last decade...no coincidence!

Notre Dame actually went to four bowl games and won a National Champioship while Cerrato was the recruiting coordinator.

Joy to the world
Cerrato's gone
