Sonny indicates our prayers may be answered

Just cant wait until he gets the boot!

and this is where you lose me....honestly, have you listened to Vinny speak? Perhaps you were grasping for an answer to help a brother out but Vinny reminds me of the special ed kids. No offense to anyone who has a child like this but looking at him and listening to him when he tries to present a well thought out answer is comedic. I get the feeling everytime I watch him that DS felt sorry for him and gave him a job. How DS would ever let himself be fooled by this joker for sooo long is beyond me.

I could see Vinny over seeing the theme park, or district manager at McDonalds but not building an NFL team. LOL....and to those with jobs as theme park managers or district managers at McDonalds....he wouldn't compare to you. LOL. I just think he needs to find a manager job outside of football cause he sucks.

SBXVII - I really can't see Vinny in those posts because they require actually long term planning which when looking at his team building methods don't really incorporate.

At Six Flags for example the GM has to prepare long term capital plan to set out where the entity will spend and build rides and so forth. I kind of liken this to how will the GM will plan not just this year but the next several years to building the Redskins.

Instead I see a GM who goes out and get a Mike Williams to patch the line, I see someone pushing to give away multiple picks to acquire a potential superstars WR in Brandon Llyod, overpaying way too many players to simply win the offseason free agency title, I see contiuous trading of draft picks to solve the lack of depth across the board. I can go on but you all already understand the moves and the result to the teams ability to compete. We are not one player away or even one draft away from turning the corner, we will need a couple of drafts to restock the team and that is if we get a new GM to run the show ASAP.

While I want Vinny to get fired, and while I like Dan Steinberg, and while I believe that Sonny is indeed part of Snyder's inner circle, I did not believe when I finished this article any more than when I started it that Vinny might get fired at the of this season. Steinberg could have just written the following: "Sonny Jurgensen stated in a radio interview yesterday that, if the Redskins current downward spiral continues until the very end of this season and the team finishes with no more than four wins, Vinny Cerrato has a good chance of being fired."

Really?

I so hope this is the case! This would be the best Christmas present, well that and the Skins finally getting an O Line!

As much as we would like to see Vinny gone, I'll have to see it happen to believe it.

as vinny is a big problem and i can't wait until he gets his walking papers. he is only one of many, it would be helpful to have a coaching staff with nuts, an o-line, a consistent defense, a franchise qb.

or how about a team that just knew how to play football for 60 minutes on ANY given game day like they actually gave a crap about there team/job. something i have not seen sinse the steelers game last season.

He crushes up some valuim and spikes Danny's drink. Thats how he pulls it off, 10 YEARS HASN'T FAILED HIM YET.

I smell a massive spin campaign that Dan is brewing. He didn't want to sign all of these high priced free agents and trade away all of these draft picks. Vinny did, and he was just listening to his VP.

[backrow]

I've always thought the problem was Lil Danny Snyder, it's not all on Look-in-my-eyes Vinnie.

He's afflicted with small-man-syndrome.

I honestly don't care whether it's Dan Snyder or Vinny Cerrato. I just want whichever one it is to change their ways, hire a friggin GM and let him take it from there with control and basically no input. Or hire a Bill Parcells type that will pick his GM and let the GM pick a coach and basically say, we are going to give this guy or couple of guys 3-4 years to shape a team that will contend for the Super Bowl every season and if they don't we will find the next best candidates.

My thoughts exactly.

[Dirtbag59]

Vinny will leave for a year then Snyder will bring him back in 2011.

[GusFrerotte]

Firing Vinny would be a big step in the right direction, but the question lingers: Who for GM? Also, who is our new coach going to be?

I would wait until this actually happened (I'm skeptical, won't believe it until I see it.
