I understand they are gone, but what I am not aware of is why.

Please tell me the Cerrato comment was a joke.

Well, Cerrato being the VP of Football Operations isn't a joke. But his and Snyder's love child being up for consideration for HC was...

As far as we "know", Williams wanted more power than Snyder and Cerrato were willing to concede, hence why he's no longer a candidate. Snyder and Cerrato also were disappointed with Saunders' offense, and have hired Jim Zorn to replace him.

As far as consistency goes, just about every other coach (with the exception of Byner and the aforementioned) will be back.

Yeah, it's been very on edge for a lot of people here. Just be fortunate you weren't here and go with it. IMO, there are a lot of Chicken Littles running around here...

I knew the love child part was...LOL...but how can Cerrato be promoted??? He, IMO, is HURTING the skins, not helping. Has Dan fallen off the path again?

That makes sense, not from a "we want to win next year" standpoint, but from their objective.

My football knowledge might be a little off, but wasn't Zorn the QB coach in Seattle? I think I remember the name as him being a QB back in the early 80's for Seattle too. Why in the world did he get it? Or am I missing something that he did to make him that deserving?

Byner is gone too? He did a good job, why is he gone?

That's ALWAYS the case...shoot, look at the gameday threads...we'd be winning and Chicken littles would show up.
I am not as concerned with the fact that they are gone (although VERY shocked) I am more concerned with WHY.
Now I am hoping someone will tell me why Byner, and more importantly, Saunders is gone.

My brother told me Don Breaux was the new OC...where is don now?

This is what started the whole mess on this sight. A lot of people got upset about losing GW and Saunders because GW most likely did not want Vinnie Cerrato. He most likely wanted to bring in another GM and Snyder will never accept that. Cerrato is his boy. As many on this site have wanted a real/qualified/talented GM for years now and we lost GW and Saunders due to this issue it pissed a ton of people off. Although Matty and MOD's have done a good job of trying to calm the masses.

I can very easily see that.
