[Ruhskins]

I sent this to the John Riggins Show, and well this is how I feel about this whole deal:

"I'm puzzled at why Dan Snyder seems to always make decisions that go against everything that the players, fans, other NFL execs, and the sports media say. In all the bad moves that the Redskins have made (Brandon Lloyd, Adam Archuleta, not hiring a GM, trading away picks for free agents, hiring Saunders to completely overhaul the offense after making the playoffs, and making desparate yet unnecesary moves like the trade for Duckett) there always seemed to be a public opinion by not just fans, but football experts and NFL execs that these were bad ideas. Yes we know that Snyder wants to win, but shouldn't he start to listening to other people besides Vinny Cerrato? Let's look at the last offseason, if the team (and possibly Snyder) would have had their way, they would have traded away the #6 pick for either Dre Bly or Lance Briggs. Fortunately, these teams did not deal these players, otherwise it would have been a typical Snyder move to give away
our picks for big time free agents.

Fassell may have a better record than Gregg Williams as a coach, but once against Snyder is going against what fans, players, NFL pundits, and even Gibbs himself have recommended: Hire Gregg Williams as the head coach. If Snyder wants to win, he needs to look at other successful teams and take example at what their owners do. And for once, just once, he may want to listen to what the public is saying. I really hope that if Fassell is hired, he works out for the team. But in the end, it is Mr. Snyder that needs to change his controlling ways as an owner. Otherwise, we are looking at 10 or more years of mediocre football. Thanks."
