I mean really, Vinny as Executive VP?! He brought in Trung Canidate for crying out lound. The Times is reporting one NFL executive actually laughed when told VC would be The Guy.
Now, what decent coach worth his weight will want to enter into the equation under these terms?

For all we know that NFL executive could be Matt Millen, I wouldn't give too much stock in that quote. Also, it was Spurrier who thought Trung Candidate would be a viable feature back in the NFL and at the time the move was appluaded by many in the league.
Wilbon said in an article the other day that the Redskins would be better off personnel wise if they had listened to some of his suggestions recently. Vinny's being judged by 2000's free agent debacle.. I'm willing to give him a couple of years of being 'the guy' to see if he's the man for the job.
If anyone really thinks that Fassel (or whoever the coach will be, but I'm pretty sure it's Fassel) wasn't involved or consulted in the assembly of the staff they're fooling themselves. That's why Spags isn't a legit candidate in my mind because he's been outside the loop.
