Will Dan Snyder finally fire Vinny Cerrato

[The Goat]

Doesn't Snyder go through FO people like toilet paper, with the exception of Vinny's constant presence? I think that reveals heavy-handed involvement by the owner, and it should make it very difficult for him to turn things around. I keep asking the question and ownership apologists don't really have an answer: why would anyone real smart, real good at their job come work for Snyder? Other than his ongoing relationship w/ Gibbs it seems almost universally Snyder burns bridges with the folks who pass through his franchise. And for how many people has working for Snyder's Redskins been a good career move? Is there anyone who can say that?

...my guess is Snyder will always have interest in big names, big personalities, basically anyone or anything that boosts sales. We hear about him trying to catch the big fish all the time. I would also guess those guys are too smart to ever work for Snyder. In fact I'll be suspicious of anyone who takes a job under him cuz it just seems like a dumb thing to do (unless all you care about is the money baby!).

Can you list some examples?

I don't know but you might want to ask the likes of Scott Campbell, Eric Shaffer, and Morocco Brown. It's not like the cupboard is totally bare when it comes to the front office. There's some quality guys there.

Not sure how long those blokes have been at the franchise but the longer the better I guess?

I watched that clip in the "When the Madness Began" thread from 2000 (before I started paying close attention to the Skins year around and especially the FO workings). Doesn't it say Snyder fired a bunch of FO people right away and there was bad blood immediately? Not sure what's happened within the FO ever since other than I remember hearing about sporadic firings. On to the coaches I mean jeez is there a good story there outside Gibbs?

But I guess it's more the big picture looking forward. Why, other than money, would a real smart football guy (manager or coach) looking to win come work for Snyder? Some of us think Snyder had the best d coordinator in football on the payroll just two years ago...and a guy who was respected by more or less the whole roster. Snyder and Vinny kicked Williams to the curb and then we heard BS reports out of Redskin park Williams had disrespected Gibbs. Believable? Really? C'mon gimme a break Snyder just took the low road and started an ugly rumor, probably because he lacks the maturity and humility to just part ways w/o somehow getting in the last shot So again, why would anybody want to work for that when there are pretty nice opportunities throughout the NFL every year?
