Gibbs was also not aware that you can't call 2 consecutive time outs. Just sayin-I wonder if Spurrier is still available.....sheesh
as for the product on the field, yes, as far as value for the franchise is concerned, the Redskins are on of the top 3-4 sports franchises worldwide, worth well over $1billion ...he's made a lot of $$ off of them..Snyder is a complete idiot. He is not going to hire him over a tribute to Sean Taylor? This man is running this team into the ground!
I'm not as quick to slam Snyder as most are for the reason you mention. However, I think there are limits to what the Skin fans are willing to put up with and Snyder might be pushing those limits this time. There is more Snyder bashing going on around here than I have ever heard, and I am also hearing for the first time people threatening to not go to games. May just be bluff, but I have never heard that when Snyder was being ridiculous before.as for the product on the field, yes, as far as value for the franchise is concerned, the Redskins are on of the top 3-4 sports franchises worldwide, worth well over $1billion ...he's made a lot of $$ off of them..Snyder is a complete idiot.

Snyder is nearly unparalleled when it comes to generating revenue with his sports franchise. Yes, he has a very large and devoted fan base to work with, but he's taken the profitability of the Redskins to a whole other level. The problem is that he's not a "football man", and yet he doesn't restrict his direct involvement to non-football matters. Yes, it's his team and he can do what he wants, but this situation screams out for a strong GM type - e.g. Polian; AJ Smith; Wolf; Beathard - to take over and run the football operations for him. Who does he have instead? Vinny Cerrato, a yes-man from the beginning and a guy who as I understand it is not a bad college talent evaluator but who is singularly unqualified otherwise to run an NFL front office. Snyder, since the Schottenheimer days, has apparently operated under the assumption that he can run things his way in the front office if he has a big figure as his head coach. Spurrier was a daring attempt and failure, and Gibbs was actually a pretty inspired hire but just didn't have the mojo he had during his first tenure. Without a good football man running the front office though, the team continues to lack any long term vision and it's showing now. Gibbs attempted to give the team a long term plan, and he was a big enough figure that for four years he could keep Snyder and Cerrato in check and actually build something. In the span of less than three weeks they've managed to pretty much abandon all of that, and once again the team's future looks gray. It's very, very frustrating.
