What Happened??!!

Stuck in TX · 02-06-2008, 07:23 PM

Holy crap guys!!! Look what Snyder is doing to us! First, he gives GW 4 interveiws. When that doesnt work he says Jim Mora will prob get the job. When that falls through, he pretty much names Fassel the next coach. Following a HUGE backlash amongst redskins fans, the statement is retracted until after the super bowl (in fact, I believe initial reports said that the anouncement would be made the night of the Super Bowl). Speculation, Spags, and Mooch were all thrown in, and then the Giants won. There has been so much confusion followed by silence, followed by assurance, followed by reassurance, and finally followed by MORE silence, that most skins fans, even the ones who wanted to put VC, DS, and Fassel on the same burning stake, are like "I'm cool with anyone lets just get it over with"

Is all of this some grand illusion for the fans all to manipulate us into being okay with Fassel?

Let the conspiracy theories begin!!!!!

haha...this is like someone saying:

BREAKING NEWS....

Lindberg baby stolen!

I don't know why Snyder gave GW the run around like that only to let him go. I feel bad for GW because of that. Other wise I think Snyder is doing an.. okay job. Between 1-10. 1 being absolutely terrible and 10 being the best GM in the NFL. Hes like a 4.5. I think if anything he's just trying to be thorough and even though it may piss us off, I still firmly believe he has his best intentions when trying to put together the staff/team.

And I don't think at any point, there was anything about him naming Fassel the HC. I think people just speculated that Fassel would be named HC.

And I can definitely say for certain nobody said Jim Mora would be HC. Dude had like what..? 2 maybe 3 interviews at most? But because of all the interviews and the fact that many Skins fans can't seem to properly rationalize things, they probably did think he was going to be HC.

While this whole carousel of HC interviews has gotten old, I think in the end, the best choice will be made. I'd rather spend months meticulously picking a HC than do some knee-jerk reaction and within a week or 2, get some old geezer who runs the team into the ground.

hmmmm... good points.....

I guess overall I, among other Redskins fans am frustrated and want a HC now, and given the "great" decisions this franschise has made (please dont make me list any), I am a bit nervous about what will happen. Sometimes it is a good thing when alot of time goes by but with this owner, Its almost like a time-bomb about to explode.

Hey come on. Brandon Lloyd is a great WR!

We just didn't give him a chance!

jsarno where are you?

SmootSmack · 02-06-2008, 08:31 PM

Wasn't there already another thread called "what happened?"

Either way, when did Snyder himself say Mora will probably get the job? When did he "pretty much" name Fassel the next coach?

Sorry, I am a newbie so I need to do thread searches before I start a new one...

and the press spoke like Snyder was going to name him by headlines like "Fassel to be named next head coach." Yeah, Snyder never held press conferences, but he is saying something to the press to have them say on an almost difininative basis who is being named HC.

As a member of the media, I'm telling you...don't listen to the media. Better yet, listen closely. Snyder wasn't saying anything of such nature to the press (on or off record)

And yes you do need to do thread searches
