What the hell happened?

I leave for Hawaii and Greg Williams is the front runner for the HC spot. I come back (and mind you I didn't watch ANY TV for the past 11 days or pick up ANY newspaper...NOTHING) and my brother calls and tells me we are interviewing Fassell. I said, nah, it's probably a formality, but I thought GW would take the HC spot...he replied, no, GW was fired. Silence. I picked my jaw up, and laughed and said, stop f-ing with me. He said they fired BOTH Saundes and GW. I really thought he was joking again. He convinced me he was telling the truth by saying that Blache was taking over at DC and Breaux was taking over at OC, then I knew he was telling the truth cause he would not have known those names.
So I ask you, warpath, what the hell happened that they BOTH get fired? I do not have the time to look up all the archives, I am piled up at work. I am going to assume this has been talked about several times over, but I saw nothing in the initial pages of WHY GW and Saunders were fired.

I leave for 11 days and the entire orginization turns to poo? What the hell? I thought we wanted to keep consistancy in the coaching staff?

Dude, don't start. Just remember the lazy days of Hawaii...

Brief synopsis: GW and AS get let go, Jim Zorn and Greg Blache take their spots. Front Runners for HC include Fassel and Meeks and Cerrato and Snyder's love child.

That should have caught you up.

I am assuming by that comment, this has been a hard past couple weeks for everyone here, and fairly emotional. I am not trying to start anything, just trying to get caught back up to speed here.
I understand they are gone, but what I am not aware of is why.

Please tell me the Cerrato comment was a joke.

ROTFLMFAO................you should have stayed there.....

DS: Consistency is key
DS: Vinny, you are promoted since you've done a great job!
VC: GW and AS's...Get outta here...we don't need you we'll Hire Jim Fassel
Media and Fans revolt against Jim Fassel
VC: Hires majority of staff before a Head Coach
DS and VC: Maybe we shouldn't hire JF...let's interview 8-10 other candidates
Media and fans: What the hell is going on?


Ahhh...never a dull moment in Snyderville.

So are you saying the "why?" part is because Cerrato wanted them gone?

This is not good...can I just click my heals and go back to Hawaii?

Please tell me the Cerrato comment was a joke.I think he means don't start because reviewing the past week will make you crazier than if you listened to a tape of the ?3 thread narrated by Dennis Hopper while taking LSD.

GW wasn't fired so much as he was told that he was no longer being considered for the HC spot and that he was free to go look for another job. It was all very passive-aggressive.

Well, Cerrato being the VP of Football Operations isn't a joke. But his and Snyder's love child being up for consideration for HC was...

As far as we "know", Williams wanted more power than Snyder and Cerrato were willing to concede, hence why he's no longer a candidate. Snyder and Cerrato also were disappointed with Saunders' offense, and have hired Jim Zorn to replace him.

As far as consistency goes, just about every other coach (with the exception of Byner and the aforementioned) will be back.

Yeah, it's been very on edge for a lot of people here. Just be fortunate you weren't here and go with it. IMO, there are a lot of Chicken Littles running around here...

yeah it has been a very crazy hectic week with all the things that have been going on with the Redskins

Well, I can see Williams being upset at that, we all thought he was the first choice, so he could see that as backstabbing and want to move on. I could even see it as an argument with Snyder. GW- "well if I'm not the HC, I will quit" DS- "well you don't have to quit, you're fired."
So that somewhat explains GW, what about Saunders?
Also, how does Carrato figure in here?
