Are you saying that Snyder is a good owner?
Where am I wrong, fancy-pants?
Wow, fancy pants.. Took me a while to shake that one off..
No, I don't consider Snyder a good owner to be honest. I think he meddles too much, is still too impulsive and hasn't grasped the concept of director of football operations, GM, coach all being different people and being left alone to do their jobs.
My point is I don't see how this situation is Redskin Armageddon. So we have a new head coach from outside and 2 new coordinators. For the 3rd time in as many days, 3 playoff teams (Dallas, SD, Pittsburgh) had almost completely new head coaches & coordinators (Pitt. kept LeBeau as DC) and 2 of them won their divisions.
Continuity for the sake of continuity is overrated. We had the 15th ranked offense, 18th ranked scoring offense, I'm fine with an upgrade. I've been on record as supporting Saunders and I think if given full reign and freedom we would have seen a much more productive and explosive offense but I'm not ready to turn in my Redskins card because he won't be here next year.
Same with Williams. He did a solid job this year with the defense. I can't really ignore the 8 or so games the D lost when we had 2nd half leads, but I put that about 55-45 on the offense for not continuing to attack.
I know I'm in the vocal minority, but it seems a bit over the top the panic and mayhem sweeping thru Redskins nation. It's not like we're hiring Rich Kotite, Ray Handley or Dave Campo. By the way, those were all internal hires, strongly supported by the players and fan bases at the time. How'd that work out?
