You're Dan Snyder, what's your move?

Ok let's role play and pretend to be Dan Snyder.

Scary thing is I'm sure a lot of us could do a better job at being Dan Snyder than Dan Snyder can, so here goes.

If I'm Snyder, the day the season ends Zorn is gone. Here's my termination discussion with him, Jimmy I'm sorry things didn't work out. I have to apologize for putting you in a tough situation for a first time head coach. You were in over your head and that was my fault. I wish you the best, but we have to move in another direction.

The second thing I'm doing is calling up Vinny and saying, sorry pal but our way clearly isn't working. We've tried big name coaches, big name players, now it's time to try a big time GM. See you on the racquetball court.

Now, the third thing I do is dial up Bill Polian in Indy. I'm saying Bill, I've got a blank check here with your name on it. I will make you the highest paid GM in the history of sports. I'm giving you 100% autonomy and control to build and run this franchise. Build me a winner. If he turns me down I'm saying, is your son there... can I talk with him?

TODAY,
I hire Sherlock Holmes, Magnum PI, and Sam Spade to find me the baddest, hotshoe GM that can be found. He comes in now to evaluate and map out the off-season to determine if Jim has...any place here. AND to see what components, players and coaches we want to keep.
HE can determine the path to glory while many good coaches are available.
Yo' Vinnie........get my clubs

That's a great summation, almost as if you had taken the words out of the "little mans" mouth. Would be great if we could land a talent like Bill Polian, I doubt that would be possible, but his son Paul would be a welcomed addition. Hell, I'd even be willing to give Casserley another opportunity.

sounds good to me, that's about what I would do as DS. Also make a statement to the fans, throw a bone to ticket holders somehow.

Not only would that be a great move but that move would also be perfectly timed. Doing it the end of the year would show that he is not making rash decisions. Making a great decision like that would really endear him to the fans.


My only caveat is this...I still don't trust Snyder at all. To ensure that he is not influencing the roster or personnel in the future. The person who comes in has to be majorly underpaid so that person doesn't feel ANY obligation to let Snyder in the front office or any decision making process.

All he has to do is put it in writing for the new GM. Include a clause where the contract is void if he steps over the line.

Kind of like Marty did : ) He was before his time.

Yeah...I agree with that. But I kinda like the attitude of someone who is underpaid. I just want to hear our next GM tell Snyder "You don't pay me enough for this sh#*" when Snyder tries to come into the lockeroom.

If I'm Dan, I fire myself and hire Superbowl Bill Parcel

Everything here I agree with and if Polian didnt want GM I would keep his son in mind but would ask Holgrem next. I would let the GM make all football decisions and hirings. But before that GM starts, I would then fire all offense and special team coaches the same day as Zorn above. I would then call JC, Portis, ARE, and the most of O-line in the office and inform them they will not be with the team next year and explain why by showing them game tape of our first six games and then by reading them their salaries.

That is precisely what I would do except for the racquetball part.

I'm guessing that Snyder will not do the same, though.
