Are we only supposed to have pride in our team when they are winning? To me, that seems quite fair weathered don't you think? I'm not calling you a fair weather fan and hope you don't take it as such. It is an honest question. I do understand what you are saying, but having pride in your favorite team goes deeper than their record sometimes. We all definitely want our team to win --- I hate watching my team lose, but we got into a tough position this year.
We have to stay the course (no I'm not getting this from President Bush) and work through our troubles. I believe that is how our Redskins grow as a team and becomes stronger. People nowadays want to be entertained and want their money's worth so bad, that they become quite impatient with the process. People expect results now, but it doesn't always happen that way. I've also heard it say, "well in today's NFL, results have to happen now!" Maybe that is true with some NFL owners, but alot of those owners who have been impatient (Dan Snyder in 2000 for example) have not been very successful.
While I will agree that I think we do need a good GM to help with personnel, I don't agree that we should blow this team up after three seasons, because someone decides that 3 is the magic number. Who the heck came up with that? Not that I want the process to take very long, but let's remember that good ol' Norv Turner finally got this team going in the right direction some 5 or 6 seasons after he was first hired to coach the skins. I still believe to this day that if Snyder would've kept that team together AND coaching staff, it would've progressed even further.
My point is, let us be patient. I do tend to have more patiences with a former HOF Redskins head coach than I probably would any other coach, but when it comes down to it, it's football and this guy knows how to coach to win. Give him just a little more time.
