Hey Jay, O'Connell is your new OC...make it work!"

I have the exact same question, and it's a very important one to understanding whether Redskins Park has actually taken any steps towards competency.
Judging by the reports that the Bowles and Gregg Williams interviews were being arranged by Snyder, I think we have our answer.
Though I don't know what's worse - Snyder stepping in on the defensive coordinator decisions, or Jay going to bat for Manusky.
Hell, if Jay went to bat for Manusky, if I were Snyder I'd probably stick my nose in too. Except I'd do it the right way - I'd fire Gruden and insist on a new Head Coach who's willing to recruit the best coach available, regardless of whether he has a previous working relationship.
