Based on that description, he does everything except coach the team and wash out the jockstraps. Oh, maybe he also hires someone to cut the grass at Fed Ex too; I don't think he'd have enough time in the day to run the John Deere himself.

At least this time around, he won't have some pesky head coach/President of football operations to work around when he gets Danny Boy's ear and helps Danny Boy decide what move to make with regard to the team. The new coach will know who's in charge as soon as he signs on the dotted line...

So who are we gonna' draft then!? Oh boy, oh boy, I hope it's like 25 WRs!!!

Interesting.

Well... I guess that answers some questions. Wonder how this might effect the HC vacancy.

God I hope it doesn't.

This is a dark day in Redskins history.

[JoeRedskin]

Wow.

I wish I had millions to spend on my fantasy football league and have it run by my Evil Dwarf sycophant.

[AlvinWalton'sNeckBrace]

we should change the name to the Fightin' Vinnys

maybe we'll start putting ads on our uniforms like European Soccer

Dan Snyder aka Peter Angelos

This is the last thing I wanted to hear! :screama: And we all thought Matt Millen had something on Detroit’s owner! What the hell does Vinny have on Snyder??

[freddyg12]

Let's try & look at this on the bright side. Recently, Wilbon (who has always said the danny needs a GM) said that sometimes the Skins would've been better off had they listened to Vinny. Maybe Vinny helped find some of the relative diamonds in the rough we've gotten the last couple years.

Maybe Vinny IS the GM that so many here have been crying for! Maybe the danny is promoting him because he's going to let him do his job & not interfere (or "meddle" as the press refers to it).

I'm not worried about his promotion, only worried that it might mean GW isn't hired. Otherwise, can anyone actually say they know that Vinny is responsible for any poor decisions?

This is not the direction I thought Snyder would go. I would imagine the HC search will end very shortly with the naming of Fassel or some other has been. Wow, this is not good news as far as I can see.

Synder needs his Racketball partner Riggo, don't you remember?

[SFREDSKIN]

Maybe Vinny has pictures of Dan with some hookers or something.

Most likely someone that gets along with Cerrato - maybe Steve Mariucci - I heard that Steve and Vinny got along when they were with the 49ers.

[redskin37]

The only good is that the closer Vinny gets to the top , the closer he get to the door.

[QBall]

This means nothing. Its a title, he was assuming that role anyway.

Does this mean Greg or Jim for coach, that's all I care about.

We have done a good job w/ Vinny and don't need a GM.

Ahem

My pieces may be falling into place
