Snyder sell the team
 

Maybe all season ticket holders could sign a petition to be presented to Godell that Snyder sell the team. It is an utter embarassment the way this team is run and Snyder is a flat out liar.

There is no continuity even though he talked about it 2 weeks ago in a press conference and I don't believe for a second that G. Williams said anything disparaging about Gibbs. Danny is trying to cover his behind.

We're being run just like the Oakland Raiders and nobody is gonna want this job. Would you with an owner who's word is worthless? At least Al Davis can claim senility.

Take a deep breath, let things play out, then judge. We may think we know what's going on, but we don't, and any kind of reaction right know is knee jerk at best.

Re: Snyder sell the team
 

I dont know about your petition idea but I am starting to think that one would have to be an idiot or desperate to take a coaching job with the Skins.

Re: Snyder sell the team
 

Cpayne5,

Coming off a playoff season stability should've been the course of action. I'd love to have seen Saunders offense next year with Gibbs out of the way. I believe even though Saunders handled play calling Gibbs still had a lot of influence. No organization in business or sports is successful with constant turnover.

I'll be real excited watching all the false starts next year when we switch to a west coast offense.

Snyder is a meddling twerp and we'd be better off without him. He has his lap dog Vinny in there as 'God of all football', it's a joke.

From the Washington times yesterday;

Earlier this week, when told of Cerrato's promotion, an NFC executive couldn't stop laughing.

"It gives the rest of us a better shot," he said. "I'm sure the rest of the NFC East is breathing easier."

They are today, too.

Re: Snyder sell the team
 

Super retarded thread.

For the continuity honks, do you realize that a good majority of the staff is likely to be back?

Re: Snyder sell the team
 

I can't for the life of me make any sense out of what Dan Snyder has done with the team over the last couple of weeks. But this thread is really really retarded.

First, these very arguments have been discussed ad nauseum all over the site. Second, it's ridiculous to think you can petition somebody into selling an asset. If you move next door to me and smoke the same crack you're smoking now, I still can't petition you to sell your house. Third, comparing the team to the Raiders is ridiculous, the Raiders are horrible, we just made the playoffs.

Re: Snyder sell the team
 

I really was only dreaming with the petition idea not that it would work. I actually am more realistic in a walkout like what was organized last year at the Orioles game.

[QUOTE]Third, comparing the team to the Raiders is ridiculous, the Raiders are horrible, we just made the playoffs.[/QUOTE]

Yes we did make the playoffs but with Gibbs gone we are a joke to the rest of the league with the front office setup that we have. The Raiders organization with an impatient owner much like we have is viewed the same way. Do you see other organizations with bizarre coach comings and goings like the Redskins and the Raiders. Al trying to force his coach to resign after 1 year. Danny firing Marty after one year and then Spurrier resigning over the phone. I know Dallas hired Garret before Phillips last year but the process of hiring and promoting coordinators before a head coachis in place is extremely unusual.

Snyder is the only person in the world who would hire Vinny in this capacity. When he was fired by Schottenheimer he remained unemployed. Cerrato should be flipping burgers at some McDonalds somewhere.

Re: Snyder sell the team
 

I was wondering if P.G. County couldn't use the expanded imminent domain powers afforded to local governments by the Supreme Courts "Kelo v. City of New London" decision to transfer ownership of FedEx field to some private 3rd party (say me) and therefore make Snyder's continued ownership of the team unprofitable. Just a thought. There must be some way.

I have been patient and letting things 'play out' for 8 years with Snyderatto. You act like this something new and has never happened before. Just when we start making progress with Gibbs, everything gets blown up.
What irks me is the way the old staff was left in the dark. These guys are not some ordinary group. They (GW & Saunders) are some of the most qualified and respected coaches in the league. Why get rid of the them for the sake of change?

I don't think they were 'released' for the sake of change.. Offensively, Saunders was brought in to take the team to the next level. It didn't happen. We were 15th in offense and 18th in scoring, that's mediocre. Granted, Gibbs handcuffed him and he didn't really 'run the show' but if management wasn't comfortable with how things are going they made that move for the betterment of the team.

As for GW, it's simple. He wasn't going to be the head coach and it'd be an insult, especially to someone with an ego the size of GW, to be subordinate to another head coach.

Re: Snyder sell the team
 

Why would Snyder can Saunders and GW simply for the sake of change? That really doesn't make much sense. Why not just blow up the whole staff then if he wants change??

There were rumors during the season that Saunders could be on the hotseat... even if Gibbs returned.

Despite what people assumed Williams was never a lock to take over for Gibbs and it was fairly well known that Snyder and Williams weren't exactly the best of buddies.

Re: Snyder sell the team
 

Please, sell all your season tickets. Then maybe my name will come up on the list.

Re: Snyder sell the team
 

Everyone take a deep breath. One of my fellow Skins fans here in Kentucky, where we watch the Skins everyweek on Sunday ticket, have always talked about the fact that we wish we had a younger coaching staff that you could build a team around for years to come. Gibb's and company are really old by coaching standards and as much as I had hoped G. Williams would be our coach, I want us to go young and exciting not stick with the same old stuff.
