I think as a die hard Redskin fan we are tired of seeing this organization in constant flux. When we get something going and make the playoffs the organization seems to feel the need to make changes, then its another 2 years of addapting to those changes. Happened in 2000 after the 99 playoffs, happened in 2006 after the 05 appearance, and seems to be happening again after this seasons playoff birth. We always take a step or two forward, going in the right direction, then WHAM, we take 5 steps back. I believe the majority of the negative reactions are to that aspect more than it is about Fassell. It seems like we shoot ourselves in the foot everytime we see progression. Whether GW was the right choice or not, who knows, but for the sake of keeping a good thing together for the players on and off the field it would make sense to hire GW as the head coach. The players love this guy, Gibbs (PRIVATELY) endorsed him as head coach, he has shown loyalty to the organization and to his players. Even the offensive players (Randel El, Moss, Portis) have expressed their desire for him to remain as coach. We always seem to mess up team chemistry when its at its strongest. 99 we had a good character team, then came in all the high priced premadonas, 05 great chemistry then came in a few guys, didn't do alot of damage to the chemistry, but adding a new offense after they finished 11th? Now getting rid of the same offense that picked up speed at the end of the year, and takes 3 years to be productive.

Look,half way through the season next year we may be praising this move, but right now its kind of hard to say they missed the target big time on this one.
