Vinny Cerrato promoted to Executive Vice President

Vinny is not the new GM.

Whats the difference between what Vinny does and what a GM does?

I'm really okay with this move. Our personnel hasn't been bad recently. We've gotten a few late round gems. I figured it was Gibbs, but this is the time to see if it was or not. I'll give it a shot, and if nothing else it created the GM type of position which keeps us from having a coach with a ton of responsibility.

Accountability is the big plus here. The Redskins can no longer make personnel moves and act like everyone in the organization was behind it.

It's Vinny now who is responsible for all football operations. If the team improves, you know who to credit. If if bombs, you know who to blame.

If we are blame Vinny for the bad moves of the last few years, does he not get credit for the good moves as well?
As has been said, though not without some questionable moves, our front office has had some big success's as well

Come on now guys, you're acting like we're about to be the 1-15 Dolphins! :D

That hurts. That really hurts. :banghead:

Hi, I'm Vinnie, and I'm in charge of your future.

Stupid minimum post length requirements.

I just want a good football team that will challenge for a superbowl sometime in the near future and put together some back to back good seasons, is that too much to ask? Why do the gods test our fanhood every year? I swear we have been cursed ever since we moved out of RFK.

Daniel Snyder is the cross that every skins fan must bear...even when things seem like they are headed in the right direction for once we can't breathe easy b/c we know Snyder is sitting back in some dark corner conjuring up ways to screw us over (even if his intentions are good). I know this kind of thing wouldnt happen to any other football team in the league, just the skins. ARRGHHH

Joe Gibbs, who recently retired after four years as Head Coach and Team President added, "Vinny worked closely with me on all personnel matters. This is a well-deserved acknowledgement of that."


"Today's Washington Redskins roster is a testament to Vinny and the personnel department being an integral part of our team structure in identifying players, whether acquired in free agency, the draft or on sometimes very short notice as we made our way through the season," Gibbs said.

Well it looks like Gibbs is backing this move and may have had a role in it as they have his comments here.


What do you expect Gibbs to say?
That he sucks? and that Snyder is an arrogant immature jerk?
C'mon....they are just fighting their guts out at Redskins park to get it right....

I know what I'd do if I were the Skins owner....promote my unqualified buddy to run everything and hire some outsider to come in and change everything for my team that has finally stabilized and has become a playoff team...

For all of you that think Gibbs has rubbed off on Snyder...this is the thread for you....WOW promoting Cerrato? Cerrato?
What other owner would do that....you got it.....ZERO.

Hope you enjoyed it while it lasted....anyone could eventually make a good decision by laws of average, such as hiring Gibbs....but the first move he makes after he leave is promoting CERRATO?
WOW....what an idiot!

Get ready for some crappy football again.
UGH!

I'm just saying let's not assume he's the defacto GM.

Stupid minimum post length requirements.

That is a bad nightmare image

Decided to come back to the warpath huh? Welcome.

Not back, just visiting during Superbowl week(s). Thanks for the welcome.
