Saunders could receive an offer from the deep pockets of Washington owner Daniel Snyder that would exceed what he could make as the Oakland Raiders (http://www.kffl.com/team/28/nfl) head coach. MTK 01-19-2006, 10:28 AM Wow, this would be a very interesting acquisition! Hog1 01-19-2006, 10:34 AM Totally Interesting. One of the hallmarks of Gibbs career with the Skins and with other pursuits, is his innovation. You never know what he has up his sleeve. Can't wait to see how this plays out! firstdown 01-19-2006, 10:42 AM Did Gibbs ever use a O cordinator in the past? That Guy 01-19-2006, 10:45 AM you can't fault KC's offense ;) this pickup could be beyond killer... it'd be funny if we ended up with 3 coaches making 10mill a year between them. SmootSmack 01-19-2006, 10:48 AM Wow. Saunders is the guy I had wanted as our coach when Spurrier left....before Gibbs decided to come back. Interesting to note that Saunders and Gibbs were on the coaching staff together at USC in the early 70s. It begs the question though, is someone leaving? Adding Musgrave and Saunders in back to back years and nobody going seems like a bit much. Could Breaux be retiring? amorentz 01-19-2006, 10:49 AM I wonder if Al Davis would overpay him to keep him away from us just out of spite? He seems like the type! firstdown 01-19-2006, 10:51 AM I wonder if Al Davis would overpay him to keep him away from us just out of spite? He seems like the type!Thats part of the game and what we cheered Snyder for doing with Williams. 12thMan 01-19-2006, 10:51 AM Did Gibbs ever use a O cordinator in the past? Yes, Dan Henning...now w/Carolina. And Don Breaux, our current OC, worked with Gibbs in the past. amorentz 01-19-2006, 10:53 AM Thats part of the game and what we cheered Snyder for doing with Williams. I know, I was saying that he would do that as revenge for Williams!
