Petition to Fire Vinny Cerato Started on Extremeskins

Thanks..............hey wait a minute.

Anyway I am one of the 100 that signed the petition. Maybe it's just a knee jerk reaction from hearing Vinny talking with Mel Kiper on his radio show about potential receivers in next years draft. Personally I don't know who's truly to blame when it comes to the whole Receivers fiasco but at the very least I believe that Vinny is an enabler when it comes to Snyder's desire to go after fancy playmakers and at the same time neglect the lines for so many years. I will admit he at least showed adament interest in lineman prior to the draft and I have a feeing that maybe all this critism about our front lines might go to his head leading us to draft up front this year but the bottom line is I don't trust him to do whats right in the long run.

Still if that Jay Glazer rumor is to be believed then 2009 is Cerrato and Zorns last chance to make this team a contender. At the very least I hope that this year has changed Cerrato's philosophy about building a team and maybe he might actually end up as a quality "GM."

I really meant no offense Dbag, as I was having a "satirical moment"...... albeit at the expense of my Xtreme brothers and sisters.
It's fair to give Vinnie and JZ the boot after next season if real improvement is not seen. I believe that to oust either this season is irresponsibly reactionary, and would serve only to invite chaos, not to mention the ire of the sporting world, which would be well deserved.

Where did you see this?

I want to start a petition to have Synder sell the Redskins to the Warpath members. If each of the 5000 members fork over 200k each, we could buy it from Synder for a cool billion.

I don't know if the idea seems all that dumb. Think about the fan reaction when it looked like Snyder was going to hire Jim Fassel (not saying the fans were right, but still). It seems like Snyder listened to the fans in that situation, so maybe if theirs enough of a outcry to get rid of Cerrato he might listen.

Ha ha, none taken I just didn't want to pass up the opportunity to use a joke like that, though of course I really did sign the petition. A feat I regretted as soon as they told me I won a free iPod after signing for being the 50th signature.

One of the more interesting threads I found while cruising ES today said Glazer was told by Vinny Cerrato that Snyder was giving both him and the new coach two years to be successful. Apparently Glazer divulged this information on his Friday Night Show on FSN. If I'm right then it's probably the one thats currently being co-hosted with Eddie George and Shawn Merriman.

That seems fair to me, if by successful he means a marked improvement over this year. I hope it's true because I think one more year would give a better perspective of what kind of coach and GM we really have here.

It will in all fairiness help determine the success or lack of it in this draft........

How did Zorn's name get tied into this? I think most people would agree that he deserves a second season.

We're talking about Cerrato here. Is the petition futile? Probably, but what else can we do? I think (and I could be wrong here; perhaps we could get a poll), but I think most Skins fans would like to see Cerrato get fired. The fear that those of us have is that Snyder is extraordinarily reluctant to fire Cerrato due to the "yes-man" factor. Maybe public opinion can influence Snyder, maybe it can't, but if there is something I can do other than complain, even if the chance of it having an affect are one in a million, than why not? I'll sign the petition.

Petitions are silly. And besides Snyder already knows that the fans want Vinny fired. He just doesn't care...

I find that a pretty depressing prospect. I can’t help feeling that that means that 2009 will be a complete wash. My faith in Zorn being able to turn this around is practically Zero. My faith in Cerrato is total. I completely believe in his ability to screw up any and every situation he’s involved with.
