It didn't work out particularly well when
Daniel Snyder went out and boldly hired
Marty Schottenheimer and gave him control of the entire football team for a year. It certainly didn't work out particularly well when Snyder wooed the Ol' Ball Coach,
Steve Spurrier, out of
Florida and the college ranks to come and coach the Redskins. And while the
Washington Redskins have made two playoff appearances in the last three years, that's certainly not the extent of what Snyder envisioned when he brought
Joe Gibbs back for The Sequel. In each of those cases it turned out that the hype far exceeded production.
