Possibly. But we need to define "the right thing." For Snyder, as for any other owner, doing the right thing means delegating the decisions to someone who knows what they are doing. In other words, making the decision himself would not be doing the right thing.

He is the freaking owner of the team and I have never heard of an owner turning over hiring of his head coach to someone else. so Thats crazy to think doing the right thing is letting someone else hire your coach. Yes I'm sure Gibbs will have a hugh role in thid decision but it all comes back to Snyder for the final say.

Depends on the owner. Some GM's make those kind of calls and basically run the whole show.

"I have never heard of an owner turning over the firing of this head coach to someone else."
"I'm sure Gibbs will have a hugh[sic} role in thid[sic] decision but it all comes back to Snyder for the final say."

What on earch did you think I was suggesting? Of course Snyder will have the final say, but I would only have faith in his making the right decision if he discusses it with other people in the FO.

Essentially by saying that you want Gibbs to have a "hugh" role in the decision, you are supporting my original point. Thanks.

Ok, I must of misunderstood what you said.

Here's an example for you: Wayne Huizenga, owner of the Miami Dolphins, has given Bill Parcells the responsibility of hiring the next Dolphins coach. Parcells has been named team president of the Dolphins, and he promptly fired coach Cam Cameron, and he will be hiring the Dolphins next coach. Parcells, I'm sure, will have to inform Wayne H. of his choice before the official announcement is made of Parcells' decision, but the decision on hiring and firing coaches is commonly left to general managers and/or team presidents.

i think the question should be something along the lines of Yes or No: "Do you trust Snyder to make the best football decision for this team as opposed to trying to make a major splash (aka Spurrier 2.0)"

It seems like the majority of the players want Williams to be the next head coach and as of now we have no word as to whether or not he's even going to get an interview. Something about that doesn't sit well with me.
