I'm more of the opinion that vinny's relationship w/the danny is one that can't be conducive to an objective mgmt. structure. It seems by all accounts that they are too close for Vinny to actually 'run' the team as GM. Were the wr picks in 08 all his doing? Maybe the specific players were, but JLC made a good point that Snyder has for years been enammored w/ WRs. He even wanted marty to draft Moss rather than R. Gardner in 01.

In short, if Snyder is willing to give real control of the football operation to a gm, he's got to fire Vinny, even if vinny isn't really to blame for much of the current mess (though I know that's debatable).

I think it has been Vinny's call the past two years and all signs point to that (minus the QB pursuit in the offseason). Since you really can't change owners, then the next logical thing would be for Vinny to go.
