He should not be selecting players for the team even though it's his team. He's a marketing executive picking football players, I must be missing something because I don't see the connection. He even admitted he made a mistake in firing Casserly, no better time than now to rectify the mistake.

And WHOEVER he hires, DON'T GIVE THEM TONS OF MONEY!...If it stops becoming about the money then esteemed coaches/GM's can start making decisions that are not based on huge sums of cash.

Bottom line...the next person that comes in should be in a financial situation where a large amount of money will not dictate/influence their pending professional decisions.

Interesting you say that, and that's one of the reasons I brought up Casserly. Here's a man who used to sleep at Redskin Park like Gibbs often did, started out working for free and throughly committed to his work. That's a dedicated individual who obviously loved the team and what he was doing, and the kind of committment noticeably missing since his departure.

I think both Casserly and Bruce Allen will always serve as consultants/advisors, whatever you want to call it to Snyder. But I'd be surprised to see either employed by him.

You're probably right, but Cassrely is out there and I just mentioned him because he is. It could be a number of qualified people.
