Do you trust Snyder?

I think you may be reaching a bit here.

If he already knows what he has in-house, and by now I'm sure there have been some in-house discussions with Williams, I don't think the fact he's out there interviewing other coaches should be misconstrued has him not being patient.

I am reaching a tad bit, but I don't think you can ignore the timing & speed of the last 2 days. Hopefully there have been in house discussions & they've managed to keep them on the serious down low & not leak to anybody. My point is that simply on the surface w/out knowing any more than we do, Snyder's behavior thus far since Gibbs announcement doesn't give the fans much confidence that he indeed has changed.

I guess I agree w/JLC who said that his "vow of silence" hurts his image & leads to speculation about him wanting to hire from the outside. We're all speculating here anyway, but I'll also say that Shneed has good points about all signs so far indicating he'll not hire GW. Whether any of it can be chalked up to impatience or not, I don't know, but it does seem that Snyder is showing early signs of his old ways.

Maybe he's just trying to increase traffic on redskins.com?

Why wouldn't we trust Snyder? He did bring Joe back in the first place. Don't think anyone saw that coming. It wouldn't be smart for Dan to just give the keys to this Franchise away to GW without a proper process. He's too smart for that.

My perception of Snyder changed dramatically for the good after Sean Taylor's death. He did everything a human could do to help not only Taylor's family, but the Redskins organization as a whole. However, if he doesn't even give Williams at least a sniff of the H.C. position, I will have lost whatever respect I regained for him. If what I've read and heard is true, if Williams is not named as Gibbs replacement, the majority of the locker room will revolt.

A revolution!

The fact that he interviewed a no-name like Schwartz tells me that Snyder's not necessarily going for the biggest name guys anymore. Perhaps he's trying to unearth the next Joe Gibbs, who was also largely anonymous when he came here the first time at a similar age to Schwartz.

He interviewed one coach and now he is back to his old ways. No one has a clue what going on so why not wait until after the decision is made and hear why they were made before we jump to conclusions about what he is doing.

So what now hiring a head coach is a popolarity contest. If you polled my employees if they would like friday's off they would vote 100% yes. If I don't give them Friday off are they going to quite or revolt? NO. He is still the owner and they are the employees and if they did revolt then maybe they are not of the carater as we thought of them after the season. If Gibbs did not want GW to replace him will you still feel the same way?

To answer the original question posed by this thread: Not by a long shot. I'm optimistic. I HOPE he's going to make good decisions. But I will not believe it until I see it.

He is the freaking owner of the team and I have never heard of an owner turning over hiring of his head coach to someone else. so Thats crazy to think doing the right thing is letting someone else hire your coach. Yes I'm sure Gibbs will have a hugh role in thid decision but it all comes back to Snyder for the final say.

"I have never heard of an owner turning over the firing of this head coach to someone else."
"I'm sure Gibbs will have a hugh[sic} role in thid[sic] decision but it all comes back to Snyder for the final say."

What on earch did you think I was suggesting? Of course Snyder will have the final say, but I would only have faith in his making the right decision if he discusses it with other people in the FO.

Essentially by saying that you want Gibbs to have a "hugh" role in the decision, you are supporting my original point. Thanks.

Ok, I must of misunderstood what you said.
