Darrell Green's blog

It's interesting becaue is this implying that Snyder felt that was the case in recent years?

Anyhow, it's very similar to a piece I read the other day (I think in the DC Examiner). Trying to find a link

Maybe so.

I don't think it's a stretch of the imagination to say that under Gibbs the other coaches were shielded quite well. Gibbs was always quick to take the blame for everything with the media and I wouldn't be surprised if he took the same approach behind closed doors with Snyder too.

When reading DG's blog, did all of you not feel a little twinge in your heart (not the kind that requires a "stint" to repair), and maybe a passing HELL YEA thought in your head?? I hope he is right!

Most people that are potential head coaches would NEVER agree with this type of set-up. Synder is an idiot.

I bet he knows how to spell

Most people that are potential head coaches would NEVER agree with this type of set-up. Synder is an idiot.That's not true though. There are only 32 of this job in the world, and despite all the negatives about it, it's still highly coveted.

You DO eliminate the Belichick/Cowher type who have nothing left to prove and have a big ego, but is that really the type of coach we want?

The fact that a highly respected coach like Mariucci is interested in this position really does disprove your point though. If Mooch is OK with the set up, then I have to assume that 95% of coaches who are out of a job would also be.

I'll give you that it's a definite negative if you are competing directly with another franchise for someone's services, but notice how we didn't hire Zorn/Blache until all the other HC openings were filled.

Lets hope that Snyder's tactics pay off. We will know come next season.

This is a good post. You have to respect a Hall of Fame (tomorrow) player’s experience, and therefore his opinion.

It’s good to know Darrell Green thinks this unconventional process can result in a winning coaching staff. I’ll never see behind the veil; that is, sit down to dinner with Daniel Snyder and hear him expound upon his vision. But, even from the cheap seats, one thing is sure: Snyder is not sure. If Jim Fassel was Snyder’s confident choice, he’d be at work right now at Redskins Park. Because Snyder thinks he can do better, the Skins still have no coach.

At the three-week mark, it’s unlikely Snyder will pull a rabbit out of his hat (Pete Carroll?) as he did four years ago with Joe Gibbs. Will Steve Mariucci measure up? Time will tell, but the longer the process goes the more evident it becomes that the next Redskins head coach will be a consolation choice.

Good thoughts and I would tend to agree with you about the HC. If Fassel was the guy he would already be in Ashburn.
