I'd like to see Dan Snyder hire a Team President.
I'd like to see Dan Snyder hire a President of Football Operations as soon as is practicable. That person needs to be someone with unquestioned NFL credentials. Beyond that, and this part is critical, he needs to be someone for whom Dan Snyder has the utmost respect, trust, faith and confidence. He also needs to be someone that Snyder likes personally. Then DS can feel comfortable turning over the reins to that person.
If the right person is currently available, then there's no reason why he couldn't be brought on board right away. There's no need to make any pronouncements about the state of the team or the status of the current Head Coach. He would just take over and then we'd see where it goes from there.
I don't see any reason why Vinny Cerratto could not have a role in the new FO structure, as long as Vinny is comfortable with the idea of staying on.
I'm not suggesting that the new President should come on board and just observe for any period of time. I think that he should make any moves that he feels are needed at the times that he feels are appropriate.
I would be disappointed to know that there is a search for a new coach going on right now. I would much prefer that a President of Football Operations be hired right away. Let him decide on who the Head Coach and the players will be going forward.
Truly, if Dan Snyder would just go ahead and hire the right man to lead the football side of the business then I would relax and not be overly concerned about what the future holds for the Redskins.
