Redskins assistants upset and getting grief in Mobile

Here's another thing:

JLC is reporting that the Skins may try to go with Fassel as HC and Rex Ryan as DC. Just for a minute, let's pretend that this happens because it shows why the people down at the Senior Bowl are having a harder time doing their job since everything is in limbo.
Rex Ryan runs a variation of the 3-4, and he would probably want to keep it that way if he came here. We don't really have the pieces to run that D right now so we'd have to bring in FAs and draft guys to fit it.
Wouldn't it stand to reason that the style of D the Redskins want to run next year will determine the types of college players that we look to draft?

Maybe this is a big part of the reason the guys down in Alabama are so upset.

They're upset b/c Post article is front page headlines Fassel lead candidate. That's their asses and many core players along with them most likely.

What "core players" are going to be cut if Fassel/Ryan come aboard? Campbell, Portis, Moss, Cooley, Samuels, Landry, Carter, Fletcher, Washington, Smoot, Rogers, McIntosh, Rabach, Sellers, Thomas?? Any of those "core players" going anywhere?

Yes, most likely a few of these guys are out. Who knows with new coaches what will happen. Totally differenct philosophy man.

I've heard on countless news/sports outlets that Joe is endorsing GW being his replacement.

It is privately. I just read an article that said that. Gibbs would never say it publically.

This is really getting fun and most of it is based on rumors.

Well that's a ringing endorsement of the coach he likes so much.

To me, I'm not bothered by the assistants feeling "upset". What I'm bothered by is that coaches around the league are rumored to be thinking we're a laughingstock. Doesn't that tell you something?

Of course, other coaches are not in the know when it comes to interviews between Danny and GW. Maybe Danny thinks it won't work with GW. But it's never good when coaches around the league think you're a joke.
Ditto. Gibbs brought instant respectability to the franchise and no matter what went on behind the scenes the impression was Gibbs was in charge. Right now if this article is accurate, the perception from people in the NFL is that the franchise is back in disarray. Not exactly a good way to attract or retain the best coaches and free agent players.

The sky is not falling...yet. But Snyder needs to make a move within the next day or two and not let this drag on or this perception will take hold and in many peoples minds around the NFL be a reality.

Come on, thats the perspective of players on 2 of the worse teams in the NFL. Thats not the case here yes some players will go but I'm sure who ever comes here is not cleaning house and with our cap they couldn't if they wanted to.

The process to hire a new coach is intended to be thoughtful and deliberate.

I happen to think the Redskin assistant coaches are great! I am much more reserved about Cerrato. Someone has to take responsibility for the woeful use of draft choices over the past several years. Isn't it him?
