Does anyone feel as if the Redskins Organization is dismantling Joe Gibb's work?

For instance, the hiring of Zorn immediately suggests a disconnect from Al Saunders.. Gibbs brought Al Saunders to Washington in hopes of producing a successful offense... IT SHOWED... look at the last 4 games of this season.. sure you can make the argument of inspired football and what not, however, its obvious with the introduction of a figure with experience (Todd Collins) this can be a top offense in the NFL as it WAS during that final stretch.. so main point: Why do you get rid of the main man in charge of the scheme: Al Saunders? .. Gibbs brought him for a reason..and we saw why at the end..

Gregg Williams is another example. It has been reported now that he is no longer in the running as head coach.. So does this comfirm the Redskins are going outside their organization for the job? Upon his arrival, Gibbs made severe roster changes and moves to start rebuilding.. who's to say that a new coach won't try the same thing? Now, there's the possibility Williams might leave, another member of the Redskins who came here for Gibbs.

Imagine: Joe Gibbs, Al Saunders, and Gregg Williams all leaving? What happened to progress and development we were going to continue with?

Todd Collins isn't the Redskins QB of the future, JC is and he never really showed that he truly felt comfortable in the Saunders system. True: Todd Collins came in and played well the last four games, but it was an entire team effort, not a testament to how the offensive system finally came around.

Williams, although I have never been sold that he is the best candidate for the head coaching position, does deserve better than a "smear campaign". I hope that rumor is totally false. If not, I feel sorry for him and I wonder who would want to serve under that sort of backstabbing ownership and management.

Yes i do. We have some better character players but our team seems like it will be in the same disarray as it was before gibbs coming here. We do have good players though> Hopefully the move to zorn will be good for the development of Campbell because that is the number one priority going into the next few seasons.

Isn't this Campbell's last year under contract?

I think he has one more season beyond this one. Maybe someone can confirm. But yeah, we will have to resign him. I think the coach coming in will have to be confident in Campbell and must like him. I don't want a coach coming in and not liking campbell and wanting to put a guy he drafts or signs in. I don't want a brunell/Ramsey situation again.

5 year $20 Million Contract signed in 2005. So maybe he gets 2 years with the new OC.

He is signed through 2009.
