Can Snyder go with anyone but GW?

I'm sorry for yet another coaching thread, but does Snyder risk losing the faith and confidence of the team, fans and future free agents if he ignores the players almost unanimous support of Grilliams?

Not only would a new coach have to learn a new franchise, new players, new front office style but may also have to overcome a bitter locker room. As much as we say these guys are professionals and need to just play for whomever is the coach we all saw the near mutiny with Marty, how Coughlin struggled in NY to gain respect among the players, etc.

It can be done successfully (Tomlin in Pittsburgh when all the players expected/wanted Wisenhunt or Grimm) but with our recent history of instability would this be a 'final straw' type of move for a lot of people?

Dude...of course he can. He's the majority owner of the team and he can do what ever the hell he wants. If the players don't like it then so be it. Coaching changes happen all the time. O/C's and D/C's are hired and fired all the time. Look at Jacksonville? They've had 3 different offensive coordinator's in 4 or 5 years? Dallas didn't seem to have a problem adjust ing to Wade Phillips did they? I know they lost last week but they still went 13-3 w/ a new head coach and two new coordinators. Why? Because they had the best players. All the owners are sniffing Jason Garrett's jock. Like he has something special in his playbook or something. He's got TO, Whitten,Barber and Romo who are all damn good players. All of this coaching stuff is sooooooooooo over rated. Again, it comes down to players.

Al Saunders playbook doesn't look so good w/out the best O-line in the NFL, Priest Holmes, Trent Green in his prime and Tony G. does it? Honestly I'm tired of all the coaching crap. Name a damn HC and let's move on to the draft and free agency!

Any faith that is lost if GW isn't the guy would be quickly regained with a winning season.

Change is part of the game in the NFL. Coaches come and go and so do players. Would some players be disappointed initially if GW wasn't the guy? Sure. But I'm sure as professionals they would eventually get over it and get back to work for whoever the new coach is.

I thought it looked pretty good with a journeyman QB and a banged-up O-line. Moreover, even if he had a great RB, O-line and QB, the simple fact is his offense was absolutely dominant.

Ok, I keep hearing about all the players that support him but besides Rock (who is a free agent and could be gone) who else has stepped infront of a mike and said they want GW?Cooley was on Comcast either this morning or yesterday evening saying that he wanted Williams to get the gig.
There have also been a bunch of guys on the Redskins Insider who have backed Williams, but I can't think of names off the top of my head and I'm much too lazy to go looking for them now.

What scares me most is that Dan Snyder is left to chose yet another coach. To me, it's not a situation he's best suited for. I WISH he would somehow learn to adopt the wisdom of his predesessor, a man scilled in knowledge of the sports world, and have someone in place with knowledge about how to get where he's trying to go.
