I think the Skins organization can use Marty Schottenheimer...

[quote=warpaint;640956]106.7 The Fan is reporting a big announcement later today in Ashburn.

[B]Side note: Jon Gruden is reported in Washington via the Sports Junkies[/B].[/quote]

With Monday Night Football here this week, Gruden may be here as a normal schedule. I doubt there is much on that.

[quote=jdlea;640959]The Skins are playing on Monday Night Football, so that could be the reason he's here[/quote]

I'd say that's the most likely reason

Greasing the skids?[/quote]

He's already said he's not talking to any teams that have a head coach in place. But, yes, maybe for after the season.

He's definitely not coming back.

2nd that.

I have this weird feeling in my gut that we're hiring Holmgren, and it'll be kind of a "Here's your chance to give Zorn his chance" sort of deal.

EDIT: Also note the lack of mention of Zorn in Cerrato's list of coaches he enjoyed working with. Maybe he's bitter...because Snyder decided to stick with Zorn, and ditch out Vinny behind his back. I'm starting a little mini conspiracy theory here.

[quote=freddyg12;640920][B]I'm totally shocked w/the timing. After January 3 I wouldn't have been.[/B] Gotta wonder what Snyder has up his sleeve.

So long Vinny, I hope all is well w/you personally & DS gave you a nice chunk o change to raise your baby, but in the long run this may be bigger for our team than Joe Gibbs coming back.

Will this be the last Vinny thread?[/quote]

Yeah. As pleased as I was with the news, I was more shocked with the timing when I initially heard it, although, as others have indicated, the timing might make more sense by the end of the day.

I think Holmgren is up there with Marty on the "fuggedaboutit" list, but who knows.

It's wierd because they refer to pursuing Gruden? Did he not just sign a new deal with ESPN?

Charley Casserly said on 106.7 that Gruden had a clause that he can walk whenever he wants, thats what he said he had heard through his people.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got up (took a vacation day) and this is the best news ever for the Skins!!! Christmas is here early for Skins fans!!!

From Twitter:
@jay_glazer: I'm reporting Redskins now trying to lock up former Raiders and Bucs GM Bruce Allen to replace Cerrato. His father George is legend in DC

Confirming the PFT article

re: BREAKING NEWS: Cerrato resigns (Bruce Allen hired as VP/GM) - merged
 

A) I'm VERY happy Cerratto is gone; Christmas came early
B) I think this move happend because Snyder knows Wade Phillips will be fired and he and Jerry Jones will both be chasing Mike Shanahan, so Snyder figures to make the job more appealing to him, by firing his 'puppet' Vinny, just to show Mike that he'll have control, or more control than he'd get with Jerry, if he came here, cause keep in mind Jerry Jones is GM of the Cowboys so he controls and gets the final say as to what goes on, thus Shanahan wouldn't have as much say with the cowgirls than he would with us, NOW.
C) Smootsmack, how do you hear about all this stuff, are you in the skins organization or do you have a member in the organization?

re: BREAKING NEWS: Cerrato resigns (Bruce Allen hired as VP/GM) - merged
 

This is killer, I have a final in thirty minutes and I can't get off the warpath. I'm out... I'll have to zone back in in 2 hours. I still got that feeling its Holmgren. Time will tell.

I would be fine with Bruce Allen....Im certainly not impressed with Gruden record, but he might be the kinda guy that would fit here. He wont be taking sh*t from some of these attitudes on the team. Portis, Rock and Carlos b*tchin this year, hopefully he get in here and knock some heads...
