You're Dan Snyder, what's your move?

1. Let Zorn go...now. Stop this charade. Put him out of his misery. It's the NFL. It's his first head coaching gig. He'll find a job again sooner than later. For now though, there is no benefit of keeping him around.

2. At the end of the season "Promote" Vinny Cerrato to EVP Strategic Iniatitives Red Zone Capital, LLC. Snyder doesn't want to get rid of Cerrato altogether, that's fine, that's his pregorative. But he needs to bear responsibility here, especially for hiring Zorn and putting him in this position. I'll give him some bogus title and tell him I want him to "map out the long-term plan for my investments" or something like that.

3. Just say no to any of the big names out there, meaning Holmgren/Cowher/Gruden/Shanahan. Stop trying to impress people with a big splash hire. I'll do my research...and my research should show that there are flaws with all of them. And they would be expensive flaws.

4. (I've been wavering on this one, going back and forth on a lot of names) I give Floyd Reese a call and say I want to name you "President Football Operations" and I want you to find a strong General Manager (I'd suggest Jimmy Raye III) to help you shape the roster and together I want the two of you to find me a head coach that can be here for a long time with you

5. I would tell Scott Campbell and Morocco Brown and the scouts that they have two options a) Resign now and try to find work elsewhere or b) You can stick around and take a chance that the new guy in charge (and it won't be any of you) want to keep you around, but it will be up to them

6. I would do the same with the coaching staff. But due to his long tenure with the club, I would make an exception with Buges. Again I'd probably come up with some bogus title but I would offer him a role within the organization.

7. Step back and let Reese and company do the work

Can you fax this to Snyder???? lol.

#5- I would not partake in. I have not been impressed with our scouts. Any GM would most likely want to bring in people he can trust or believe in. Unless they have done an admirable job and DS/VC totally over ruled them and picked other players for the HC's. I would need proof of that though to believe it.

#6- No way. Cut them all. I like Buges and have a lot of respect for what he was able to do but time to cut ties and go with someone younger who knows all the new blocking scheme's.

#5. I would leave it up to the new man in charge. Maybe he wants to hold onto some people for various reasons

#6. I think you misread what I said about Buges

None of the scouts are worth keeping. None. Bring in a whole new batch.

I might have misread what you were saying. I thought you were trying to say move him like Cerrato and give him some fancy title. I wouldn't even do that. Let him go back into retirement. Bring in someone new.

Some of them might be.. our luck has been coming at the back end of the draft, likely the only spots where Vinny is listening, because he's spent so much time in the first 4 rounds

[mredskins]

Snyder likes to repeatedly kick grown men in the d!ck as punishment for his failures because:

1) That's as high as he can reach
2) He feels deficient in that area
3) There's new d!ck out there to hire and kick, and time's a waistin'
4) All of the above

The second thing I'm doing is calling up Vinny and saying, sorry pal but our way clearly isn't working.

Now, the third thing I do is dial up Bill Polian in Indy. I'm saying Bill, I've got a blank check here with your name on it. If he turns me down I'm saying, is your son there... can I talk with him?

This is basically how I would do it as well. I'm not sold on a Shanahan, Holmgren, etc as our coach just yet.. but if Bill was, then I'd have reason to be.

Did anyone hear the news that just broke on fanhouse.com and 106.7 the fan? Apparently Danny boy tried to hire Shanahan to come in this season to replace Zorn to be the head coach, and he declined, some one needs to start a new thread

The rumor was old news.

The fact was just confirmed this afternoon.

All of us always want news stories to be posted with links and other citing points. It turns out that the hearsay was based in truth. I personally think it's relevent.

Relevent also is the credibility of the front office. Just because they refute a story doesn't mean it's not true. I'm personally fine with that but that means I also won't entirely believe the press releases they come out with in the future.

What are you talking about? What do we know now that we didn't know two weeks ago?

His numbers dont lie. That is why the Broncos did not want him. His win loss record sucks.
