Washington Examiner: Ceratto and Zorn were almost fired together last season

Pretty scathing commentary about the Redskins from Rick Snider.. Rick Snider: Redskins' circus is full of clowns | Washington Examiner (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/sports/Redskins-circus-is-full-of-clowns-64812042.html)

One really interesting part of the article, that Snyder's dissatisfaction with the way the team is heading went back to last season:
-However, Cerrato wants Zorn to stay as his shield. Wasn’t Zorn chosen by Cerrato? Wasn’t Cerrato the one who drafted three lousy second-rounders last season who all appear busts?

Snyder will likely dismiss Cerrato come season’s end. After all, Snyder nearly fired both Zorn and Cerrato after last season.

If nothing else, this gives some hope that change is a coming. Snider may not have the name as some of the Times and Post guys but he had Cuter first and if I'm not mistaken, he was one of the first on Gibbs 2.0 as well. They guy is definitely connected at Redskins Park.

It gives me optimism too to think there's a good chance there could be a major philosophical shift moving forward. Like a heroine addict who hit rock bottom, we could look back at this season in 10 years as the point when everything began to change for the better.

Is this just a rant? Or does Snider actually have something to back his assertions up with? Sure it sounds good and resonates among fans - but is it anything more than speculation??

That's one guy's word.. I mean I'm sure Snyder was pissed but who knows

I'm surprised there haven't been public death threats to the guy yet

Don't tease me!!!!!

To the extent that I hope this article is correct, I feel the giddy optimism appropriate for a fan for the first time in weeks.

Really, Snyder would consider firing Cerrato for the good of the team? sounds unheard off

I don't see why anybody would find this news by itself exciting. This is classic bad manager syndrome, it's just that The Danny has finally had to move the ceiling of blame up a notch and it's cutting his Yes Man's head off. It still indicates that Snyder feels no responsibility for the team's problems, and it just makes Cerrato the fall guy for all of Danny's tinkering.

If he hires a real GM and gives him the authority to build a winner, then we can talk about optimism.

A true disaster of season like this is just what Snyder needs to finally wake the F up, can Vinny and get a real GM in here. Zorn was Vinny's hire, and he's had the last two drafts to officially call his own, this folks is Vinny's sinking ship.

Right on Matty! I bet cerrato and zorn are gone and shanahan comes in next season. Hell maybe as a hc and gm
