"What we were looking for was a coach with characteristics. And our characteristics were starting with character, a character person. Joe [Gibbs] has such character and I've learned so much not only about him, but about what I and the Redskins want in the future."

Glad Snyder at least looks for character in others, not so sure he'd be able to spot it though ... But JLC is probably just bashing Snyder, you know how those media types can be ...

And I know he provided the plane to Todd Collins and I know he flew the whole organization to Miami, but damn. Hard to know how to take these kind of stories. To show up, with the expectation of signing a contract that was on the table and then be told not so fast. If he really did turn down the TB job, or at least take his name out of the running, that is such a giant kick in the groin.

I honestly do wonder what the 'other side of the story' is and why his contract was treated differently than everyone else's. Obviously something was up, someone didn't like him, or didn't think much of his coaching, or something. The immediate circumstances suck, and seem on their face pretty abhorrent, but I wonder why the situation even existed in the first place (why the shorter contract, etc.). Any insights?
