Re: Dan Snyder losing respectability?

I haven't always been a huge Snyder supporter, but I was a bit miffed when I read that from JLC. Mind you, this is the same JLC whose Redskins Insider Blog was referred to by Peter King (no Snyder lover) as "decidedly anti-Snyder". He asks how you can spin it any other way than the fact that the Skins head coaching position is way under-valued. I don't see it myself.

I might be wrong, but from all I've seen I haven't gotten the impression that either Mora or Spagnuolo were actually offered the job. Maybe they did, but it's not like either guy really went back to unattractive situations anyway (Mora will officially be the head coach - is in his contract so no Williams type situation - of the Seahawks next year and Spagnuolo gets $2 million to coach a good defense with lots of young talent). I don't understand how everyone thinks that Fassel represents the same old Snyder. He's not the flashy pick guys, its different than Marty or Steve or Joe. Now, if he had landed Spagnuolo or even gotten Mariucci (I guess still within the realm of the possible) then I'd say it was old Snyder. Fassel represents a departure in my mind. Plus, it's HIS STAFF that is in place, so if Fassel comes in then hiring the coordinators first actually makes sense.

Some people whine about the coordinators being hired, but if Fassel comes in that makes sense. People say its the same old Snyder looking for change for change sake, but I contend that Fassel represents something different (and actually the guys people loved, Spagnuolo and Mariucci, represented the old ways). I don't get the renewed Snyder bashing. I've actually come around on the whole thing.
