Funny thing is I'm pretty sure that in any other year were Vinny isn't our GM/Director or whatever he is then we'd see the Redskins as a major contender for Pioli's services. However as has been mentioned before, with the Chiefs, he has:

1. A large compliment (or so I believe) of high draft picks.
2. $30 million of cap space to play around with
3. Intriguing Free Agents along the lines
4. A chance to assemble a coaching staff
5. A chance to work for a storied franchise
6. And of course ridiculous compensation.

If he had come to the Redskins he would have had to deal with

1. 4 draft picks
2. A lot less then $30 million of cap space
3. Limited money to sign free agents
4. A coach that would be difficult to justify firing after going 8-8 in his first year.
5. A storied franchise, ok well thats good..
6. Of course he would get top dollar, maybe even more then the Chiefs were willing to pay.

So do you have any inside ju-ju that after the next season Vinny could see the road if he doesn't produce?

Word around the grape vine, aka Jay Glazer, is that Snyder has given Cerrato and Zorn two years to prove themselves. Year one is already over so if Glazer is right and the Redskins don't at least go above .500 next year then it's very possible both Zorn and Cerrato could be sent packing.
