You seem to be supporting the tearing down of Gibbs entire coaching staff. Who wanted or even thought this was in the cards? Its so far out of whack and Snyder gets the pass. We were trying to build something in the eyes of a three time super bowl redskin and its about to be shit out like a bad taco!

Go New York Giants!!! They got rid of Fassel the fizzel that could not keep two years of continuity in a row look for a roller coaster ride with no defense

As I referenced earlier, I'm talking about the difference between how, say, Kraft or Rooney run their organizations and how Snyder runs the Skins.

I have no problem with Snyder looking for the best candidate. I really don't. But consider that Gggrilliamsss stayed here for years with a pretty well-known expectation that he was to be the guy who took over for Joe. To tear that up after what this team has been through, especially when it smacks of a rift between Vinny and Ggrilliamsss, it just comes off as classless.

It's just one thing, but I think it's a big one. The way we've handled some personnel and now coaching employment decisions as an organization under Snyder has been pretty embarrassing, IMO. You don't get a free pass on this stuff just because you open your wallet a lot.

You can't be talking about SmootSmack. He would not think nor say any such thing.

You couldn't be more off base

Look, the 12thMans and Schneeds of this site who present valid arguments about their concerns-I have the utmost respect for them. Others who say stupid shit like "Danny needs to sell the team" "I'm getting rid of all my Redskins stuff" "I'll never watch another game" and so on-those people deserve to be mocked, ridiculed, and scorned. To the fullest extent. They don't need my respect of course, but if they're expecting it then they're certainly not going to get it with posts like that.

I think I've been pretty clear in saying Fassel is not my top choice. Neither is Williams really.

But what I've been saying (and I think others as well) is that a) no decision has been officially made so quit crying and b) why can't we see how everything plays out first (staff, roster) and make a more informed decision maybe sometime in the spring?

On another note. When I hear the Sean Taylor argument, while I understand it sometimes I can't help but relate it to when people ask "Why Giuliani?" and the answer is just "9/11"

I was with you on everything up until point "A". While you're right of course that no decision has been made, I think it's pretty clear based on what we KNOW has happened (who has been interviewed and how many times) that this thing is leaning one way.

There's a reason lawyers and DA's know when a jury comes back quickly or takes forever, it's good or bad for them.

And with due respect, to point "B" -- you're tilting at windmills right there. This is a discussion board and people want to discuss their hopes and fears as they relate to this franchise.

And why Spring? What's that going to tell us? As someone earlier said, we likely won't really know until the midpoint of next season. Be honest -- in the Spring you're still going to be telling people to stop jumping to conclusions and wait until the season starts, aren't you?

Are you referring to the destruction of what we've built? I just can't wrap my mind around Fassel being a good coach...and how complete overhaul of this staff is a good idea. I realize that there were going to be changes, but the guys liked Williams...I imagine they liked other coaches too...Bugel comes to mind...how can one justify turning his back on these players

The earth will still rotate after this is announced, if it is - someone will still die of hunger, babies will continue to be born and deaths will happen... life moves on, the Redskins move on and you too Fan's should show your belief in this franchise and move on.

HAIL!!!

It has very little to do with "Coach Fossil". Many of us think he sucks, sure, but there are just as many other options who maybe don't suck as much, or even at all, who I also don't want.

Don't confuse resentment and disappointment with the direction of the franchise ownership with any issue over an individual coach or assistant.

Maybe there is hope?? Post has been fueling this fire!!

If Al needs to go so be it, just not the Defensive philosophy please:

The person familiar with the process said Zorn's interview was not necessarily tied to a specific candidate -- that he is considered someone who could work under several of the potential head coaches on Snyder's list.

Well, that's the same response I got when I questioned why you guys jumped down my throat for posting when Mike Williams was released, too :P

I wish that was a two-way street, because I feel pretty calm. I'm just not happy about the way I see Snyder making decisions.

Everything I've heard says Bugel stays if he wants to stay. If it were up to me, I would have promoted Williams to head coach and nothing more (I don't think he deserves it by any means, but it's the least "dangerous" move), I would have hired Jim Schwartz to replace Williams, moved Jerry Gray up to defensive coordinator, let Blache retire as he has supposedly hinted at. Give Danny Smith his shot as a D-Backs coach.

And offensively, I'm torn on what I would have done with Saunders but I definitely would have trimmed the staff somehow. Maybe let Breaux and Burns walk and consolidate their responsibilities under Byner.

This is like saying we can't have opinions about the outcome of Skins games because we weren't in the team meetings where they coordinated the game plan.
