Official press release from SKINS Blache and Zorn to take over OC/DC.

I bet the HC has been in place for a couple days already, and that HC gave snyder the go ahead on the coordinators. The Head Coach will probably be announced later today, no way is snyder going to get coordinators the head coach doesn't want. I bet its going to be Fassel too.

This is clearly a step back for both positions. Neither has had a sniff as a coordinator before. I'd take Gregg Williams over Blache and Saunders over Zorn anyday. Further who hires an O and a D coordinator before hiring a head coach? This is extremely rare for numerous reasons. The Skins will never go to the next level with Danny and Vinny running the front office.

I don't think it will be Fassel, or they would have announced all three together. Fan sentiment toward him was pretty outrageous and Snyder knows it. Add on that he, according to a few other columns, already feels used about the process..and it could be someone entirely different. I am officially throwing my support behind Russ Grimm.

I am not sure that is correct. I think Fassel is the fall back guy. I think Fassel has been put on hold by Snyder so he can interview Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and/or Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels after the Super Bowl, If it was Fassell they would have already announced it. He has no job currently or contract tp prevent the move.

I do not want Fassel, buy it seems we are destined for him because no great coach will want in to this disfunctunal situation.
SNYDERATTO Sucks.

Did they hire two guys that have never been cordinators before? Is that what all of Snyders money get us. Well screw Snyder, he is a full bore idiot!

According to the article Greg Williams has been fired.
I guess Snyder thinks Blache is a better coach?
Snyder was qouted as saying he is listening to the advice from coaches he is interviewing from other teams. Not sure I agree with that. Rival coaches do not want to see us do better.

My main concern with this rather strange and process is we are really limiting ourselves as to the HC position. The new incoming coach is going to have accept Zorn and Blache running his to most important units. I do not know of any stong HC canidate that would accept that unless the guy is desperate for a job.
The other possiblity is we already have an under the table agreement with one of the coaches in the Superbowl and he was ok with Zorn and Blache.
This entire process is not ideal.

Im thinking that is the case based on this comment of Snyder's from the article:

"The process of selecting a new head coach continues, although no hire is planned until after the Super Bowl so as not to distract from the Championship game as well as to keep open all our options."

I must say that at this point, I would like for the team to get the OC from New England. I mean it's not a bad deal to get the guy the ran the offense of the NFL's most successful team in the past 10 years. Besides, our offense was lacking these past four years. I know once again Snyder is going against everything that seems right, but he owns the team and unless we get 30,000 ticket holders to cancel and drop down the attendance at FedEx field, there ain't a darn thing we can do.

either get a west coast HC (Fassell) because we have a west coast OC now, or get a HC who runs the same defense as blache. does he run the 46 like williams?

ESPN - Redskins dismiss Williams, Saunders; promote Blache to lead defense - NFL (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3215817)

So does the head coach call any plays if his cordinators are already in place?
