Could this have anything to do with how serious the talks between Holmgren and Clevland have become.Now you can leave Zorn in and have S.Lewis and Holmgren running the show and have Zorn just doing the Head Coach/Puppet. Maybe we can lure Gruden out from behind the Monday Night booth.

Oh the possibilities!

Very nice, this had made my day. Now, let's hope DS makes a good move and brings in someone who is football-intellegent.

Cerrato's statement:

Quote:

Vinny Cerrato has announced his resignation from the Washington Redskins.

Cerrato has served as the club’s executive vice-president of football operations for the past two years, and previously served in five different roles, beginning in 1999.

In a statement, Cerrato said he has had numerous conversations with team owner Daniel M. Snyder over the last few weeks regarding the next steps for the club.

“We agreed that the franchise needs someone different in this position,” Cerrato said. “I’m thankful to Dan Snyder and other members of his ownership team for the opportunities I’ve been given over the years.”

“Of course, I am disappointed with this year’s results, but I strongly believe that with outstanding draft picks and encouraging performance by our younger players, we have laid a strong foundation for the franchise.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with some great coaches such as Joe Gibbs, Greg Blache and Sherman Lewis, great people on the Redskins staff, and, most especially, some of the best professional football players in the world. I wish them all the best. I’ve also had the privilege of working for a franchise supported by the most loyal fans in the NFL.”

The team’s owner thanked Cerrato for the work he has accomplished.

“More importantly, he is my friend, and he has always been there for me and the Redskins,” Snyder said. “He’s the consummate optimist and has always made decisions based on what would be the best for the team."

No Zorn in the Coach list.

yeah, that would probably be worse than him just staying. It will have to be longer than 2-4 years though, I think all of us will remember Vinny in a not so fond manner til our death!

I heard on Mike & Mike this morning that Vinny was at Notre Dame prior to the Redskins.

Look how well they've done in the last decade...no coincidence!

Joy to the world
Cerrato's gone
and all ye men shall cry

BEST CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER!!!

I'm going to be throwing several beers back starting immediately after work. I'm sure you'll all be joining me.

RobH4413 · 12-17-2009, 09:03 AM

We may need to poll soon, but who would you really want to bring in as new GM?

Casserly an option? Holmgren talks going to shift away from Cleveland? It's going to be an interesting couple of weeks to talk about this (as if we haven't talked about it enough)

Wikipedia has Gibbs listed as our GM currently.
