For the Snyder haters:
I think Snyder has totally taken a step back this year. The Six Flags deal, the movie deal with Tom Cruise. I don't think he's as hands on as he's been. Essentially, he's turned it over to Gibbs, completely, except when it comes to the pursuit of free agents. But he's only pursuing the free agents Gibbs and Gibbs' staff want him to pursue. Gregg Williams wanted Andre Carter, not Darren Howard. Gregg Williams begged Archuleta to come. That's not on Snyder. If Gibbs tells Snyder no big spending this year, then he won't spend.

Good stuff. I'm pretty sure Gibbs has learned a few things about FA. Hopefully, this offseason will be different.
JWsleep 11-30-2006, 02:28 PM That was a good chat. I too am blown away by the issues among the secondary coaches. And that is Williams fault--he obvious told Jackson you can do what you want. Indirectly, it is Gibbs fault, because he's given Williams pretty much total autonomy, but it falls on Williams first.
Grimm would be great, but I will believe it when I see it. I feel like it's going to be Saunders and Blache, which would be ok with me, but I prefer Grimm. Gibbs can make it happen, IMO--with his powers of persuasion and Snyders checkbook, we should be able to land any coach we want.
Lady Brave 11-30-2006, 02:38 PM On the contrary, Ken Whisenhunt is probably the bet to replace Cowher.
I guess we'll see. My husband's a Pittsburgh fan and we've discussed this scenario quite a bit.
Apparently Cowher is saying he's going to stay if they can work out a deal. Hopefully the timing will work out so that when Coach Gibbs leaves, Grimm will be an option for us.

GREAT quote Matty, thanks. I'm gonna put this on my fridge and bring it back whenever the Snyder haters reemerge. In fact I'd love to make it my sig.

Mike Wise is someone else entirely. ;)
I thought it was interesting to read that some of these issues with the secondary coaches were happening last year and how Clark was getting frustrated by it.
hooskins 11-30-2006, 06:07 PM I read his on line chat, very revealing. He stood by his sources and what motivated him to write the article.
What I found most interesting is that he doesn't think GW will be our next head coach.
I would really like to see Russ Grimm come to D.C.
I use to know Grimm's son, he went to my middle school. Met Rus Grim too, great guy, back then he was an assistant on the Skins.

well, gibbs did say "i've got to talk to danny" when he mentioned the kicking thing, so either ldsd has some say or it was just a money thing, but it wasn't really specified. I don't believe danny would tell gibbs to pound sand on ANYTHING though, but if danny adn vinny go over personnel decisions with gibbs, it's hard to imagine they have absolutely no say or opinions, even if they can be over-ruled.
