I liked Casserly...what we need is beathard and the fountain of youth.
To be honest...almost any ex GM would be better than our current situation...unless of course, one of our 2nd rounders from last year suddenly makes the pro-bowl this year....pa-leeze!
So you would be happy if Snyder replaced Vinny with Matt Millen? He fits your criteria as an ex GM. How about Tom Donahoe, Rick Speilman, Ken Herrock, Rich McKay or anyone else reviled by their former fan bases?

Dan Snyder is our GM.
Vinny is Mr. Smithers.
Dan Snyder is our GM.
Vinny is Mr. Smithers.
Ha! In that case, "anyone" is truly better than our GM!

All GM's have good picks and bad picks. Nobody is perfect.
Casserly took over as GM of the Redskins in 1989. So he basically can be credited for putting together the 1992 Super Bowl Team.
Casserly has been credited with unearthing undrafted FA's Joe Jacoby and Jeff Bostic.
He has also been credited for finding future probowl players 5th round pick Brian Mitchell, 4th rounder Stephen Davis, 12th round pick Keenan McCardell and 6th round Frank Wychek.
In regards to Brad Johnson, he arrived here and responded with a Pro Bowl season and lead us to the 2nd round of the playoffs. We were a bad snap on a very makable field goal away from making to the NFC Championship. We lost 14-13 to Tampa due to a bad snap. He drove us down the field against a very good defense to only have our long snapper F it up on a chip shot FG. Brad Johnson went on later to win the Superbowl with Tampa.

It wasn't a chip shot if I recall correctly. It was a fifty yard attempt.
It was a 52 yard attempt

You are right.
Conway made a 48 yarder earlier in the game.
At least we were in position to win the game.
We were not getting blown out.

How do you figure that?

Casserly keeps himself busy, I wonder if he'd even want to return to the NFL, especially the skins, at this point. He has a good TV gig, works at GMU, and has many other projects going on. I'm sure hes much less stressed out and still able to be active in the football community.
Actually he resigned from the Texans because he wants his next career move to be in the at NFL HQ in New York. I do not believe that he is interested in a GM job either.

How about instead of Casserly we lure Kevin Colbert of the Pittsburgh Steelers with large barrels of Danny's cash and a promise from the Danny that he will just sign the players checks and let Kevin Colbert run the team?
