The Washington DC NFL Team. Putting the Dys in Function.
Two coordinators out. Two coordinators in.
No head coach. Still.
A helpful timeline of an organization trying to locate ass in hole in ground from the Washington Post. Columnist Mike Wise on the fall of defensive coordinator Gregg Williams:
"However it happened, whatever led Snyder to his decision, there is no justifying how the situation was handled so soon after the entire organization had gone through the emotional hell of Sean Taylor's killing. For everyone other than Snyder, this job search hasn't been about Gibbs at all. It's been about Taylor and how the team and coaches banded together to reach the playoffs without him. The healing was still progressing when Gibbs suddenly left. Williams was seen as the one link that could keep the chain of emotional recovery together. How else to explain the vilification of Jim Fassel, an otherwise fine fellow with a Super Bowl appearance on his resume, on local talk radio shows and online chat rooms, even the ones run by the team? Or the mass anointing of Williams, whose previous head coaching experience consisted of what everyone agrees was a disaster in Buffalo?
But Daniel Snyder was tone-deaf to all that."
I have no idea what the hell Snyder is thinking. Or Vinnie Cerrato. I don't think anyone does. But it's fun to watch. Course, I am not a Washington fan. Probably less fun for those damned souls.
