Dan Snyder Is Trying To Make Al Davis Look Good; Has Two New Coordinators, No Head Coach
READ MORE:


Apparently the theme of this weekend is NFL owners who have absolutely no clue what they're doing and where they're headed.

Dan Snyder announced today that Al Saunders and Gregg Williams were leaving the organization and that Jim Zorn and Greg Blache would be replacing them, respectively. Interesting approach. There's one problem, however ... no head coach.

I'm no expert in building a successful team (although these owners make me believe I could be), but you'd think Napoleon Snyder would look for his next head coach first and allow him to choose who he'd best work with and who mirrors his philosophies.

At this rate, they might as well just hire a real actual puppet that Dan can control for his luxury sweet. That or go with his pal Tom Cruise.

Unfortunately for Redskins fans there's some quality talent in place, more than capable of a longer run in the postseason with an organization aligned with the same goals. Jason Campbell is proving to be a legit franchise QB, Clinton Portis is a top tier back for a few more years and despite the loss of Sean Taylor they are numerous bright spots on defense.

It starts from the top and as long as Snyder is choreographing his puppets, they have to win in spite of him. Of course, this isn't new information for Skins fans.

I guess the only thing I didn't quite get was why not just fire the entire staff?  Getting rid of Williams is ultimately smart, because he's a horrible head coach and wouldn't stay as DC.  I can understand letting Saunders go too.  I'd disagree on things being good for the 'Skins roster as a whole.  They're still not a very good team.  Campbell does have a bright future.  Portis should have another year or two, but running backs can be so fickle so who really knows.  That defense is not very good at all.  They were an emotionally charged team from mid-season on, but weren't any better than the Vikings (actually worse IMO).

i hate snyder.  i have actually thrown a finger at the owners box while leaving fedex. (yes it was while looking up directly at the box, not from nosebleeds from the other side of the field).  while i understand his enthusiasm as being a fan who bought the team, he doesnt understand you can't just buy a team. i thought his best move ever was hiring Gibbs, just to get the fan base back.  Snyder thinks with his checkbook, and that is currently not  a good thing.

 

in reply to kante above, the redskins underachieved, and in my opinion could've should've won the division. too many stupid mistakes and blown leads by everyone all year.

Being here in DC I heard a hilarious quote on the news about this... man on the street said, "Dan Snyder is ruining the Redskins. It's a good thing he has chosen not to procreate".
