It's not often a respected, successful and experienced football guy becomes available as Reese did today. He is exactly what we need to run football operations. I know it won't happen because Gibbs is that guy but I'd rather see Gibbs focus all of his energies on the field and let someone else shop for the groceries.

It would make sense for us to go get Floyd Reese. He's a great talent evaluator and was actually hoping for a contract extension from Tennessee, which means he's not burnt out and still ready to work. He would be great for us, and it's unfortunate it won't happen. If only Snyder shopped as agressively for front office guys as he did flashy free agents....

Great point.

Supposedly Jeff Fisher wants complete control there and he wasn't happy with the way Reese treated guys like George and McNair at the end of their Titans careers. Apparently Fisher was also upset that Reese overruled him and Chow and drafted Young instead of Leinart.
I think Reese is solid. He's made some poor decisions, but who hasn't over the course of 21 years?

He pays a lot of money for coaches too. Pretty much, the front office is the only thing he doesn't pay tons of money for.
I don't get why Reese resigned though.

This is exactly what we need, a guy who will draft the best player no matter what. When your time is done and you can’t play for us anymore, see ya.
It has to be done this way. If the players cannot see they are hurting the team with their performance and the coaches are attached, the team will suffer. Also a strict GM doesn't let young home grown talent walk out of the door.

Oh please God let us sign Floyd Reese. I would suddenly become optimistic about the Redskins again...
Vince Young over Leinert was the right choice!

Not to mention he values Draft picks.

Maybe, but it sure would have been interesting to see what Leinert could have done given his familiarity with Chow's offense.

Young is more in the mold of McNair. Short term vs Long term when it comes to this debate.
