Here is an interesting article I found from 1999 and one part of it talking about the transition when Synder bought the team and here is a qoute from Casserly of what he told Dan at the time:

"When Dan Snyder bought the club, I told him, ‘You’re buying this club at exactly the right point in time. You’ve got a good, young nucleus here. You’ve got a potential Pro Bowl quarterback. You have a chance to win the division this year. And you’ve got three No. 1 draft choices next year, so your future is ensured,’ " Casserly said. "That’s what I told him. And I thought the team was in good shape when I left and that the future was secure. So anytime the team has success, I’m happy for them."

Charley Casserly

So basically Casserly got him a bunch of #1's plus a young cover corner in Champ Bailey and a vet in Brad Johnson and look at the mess we are in now 8 YEARS LATER!!!!!

So answer me this: Why in the heck did Synder keep Norv Turner over Casserly?
