I get the desire to move on but I'm surprised how many of you are willing to turn a blind eye to the blatant lack of professionalism and then excuse it in the name of "being thorough". You can be thorough without being a prick. You can be thorough and make a statement to the media to that effect. You can be thorough and inform the existing coaching staff of your intention.
You can do all of this and NOT burn bridges both internally and among the rest of the league. Snyder has chosen not to do this, and repeatedly relies on Joe to come in and try to smooth things over.
Does that sound like someone who has changed for the better?

I agree the staff should have been more in the know about what was going on. At the same time, remember Gibbs stunned them all (Snyder included) when he resigned, so no one was really prepared for all this. Though they probably should have been.
As for the rest I think you're presuming a lot and ignoring a lot, I suppose to satisfy your own desire to be upset. For one thing, since when are Schwartz, Meeks, and possibly Spagnuolo retread coaches? Since when is Zorn?
