What about a TRUE GM
Do you believe the Redskins would be in better shape if we had a true GM running the shoe, and Joe simply coaching? As proven in his 1st tenure, Bethard and Casserly were the brains behind the opporation, and Joe simply worked his magic on the sidelines.

Re: What about a TRUE GM
I cant think of a team yet that has had success with the coach acting as both coach and GM. Its too big of a job for 1 man to handle. The skins need a GM in the worst way. They will continue to flounder until they get a knowledgeable person in this job.

Re: What about a TRUE GM
Despite what people may think, Gibbs had a say in personnel during his first tenure. He wasn't simply the head coach.
I'm not sure if a GM is really needed simply because I don't think talent is the main problem right now. I think we have a relatively young team with guys who are still learning how to play together and learning how to win. I definitely agree our later round drafting hasn't been anything special and that's an area of concern. Whether a GM can swoop in and magically cure that problem is a question mark. |

Re: What about a TRUE GM
Totally Agree.
Question??? For the last few years, before Gibbs, did the Skins pretty much have an ineffectual scouting program or abandon the use of scouts? Did Joe and company expand and increase the scouting department/program?

Re: What about a TRUE GM
I thought, I read last year that it was a high priority with the new regime to expand that facet of the staff

Re: What about a TRUE GM
This stat shows that maybe we do need a general manager:
Through 27 games this time, Gibbs is 11-16 -- that's the exact record Steve Spurrier had.

Re: What about a TRUE GM
I am waiting for the day when Snyder looks around and starts analyzing what the constants have been during his losing tenure. the answer he will come to is himslef & Vinny. And he can't fire himself...
If Vinny were scouting a race between a horse a cow and a pig...he would go with the cow...

Re: What about a TRUE GM
Geez, things really do come full circle. I remember prior to the draft we were saying this same thing. I really just wish we would hire a figurehead "GM" so that we could all stop asking for one. Just recently Rogers is panning out, the Campbell pick is a question mark, but we don't know much other than that right now. Gibbs's picks have been more hits than misses, so I don't know what the outcry for a GM is for?

The reason this team needs a GM is that both Gibbs and Snyder are too much in love with free agency, thats why all the draft picks have been given away. A GM would provide a good balance between the need to get free agents and the need to hold onto franchise changing draft picks. Its obvious the current way of doing things is not working so why not try something new. |

Re: What about a TRUE GM
My question is this, are we losing right now because we don't have the talent to win?
I'd say that's not our main problem right now. Seems like execution and schemes are more of a problem... along with some key injuries. |
