101595, We'll know that Snyder's grown, when he hires a defensive guy Posted by Ausar72, Wed Oct-16-13 09:22 AM
...as head coach.
The only defensive guy he went and hired was Marty early on and then he let him go after only a year.
Snyder's problem is he keeps trying to recreate the Joe Gibbs Era, trying to find some offensive mastermind that calls his own plays and leaves the defensive side of the ball to the d-coordinators.
Every hire has followed this pattern (except for Marty)... 1. Spurrier 2. Gibbs II 3. Zorn 4. Shanahan 5. Hiring Shanahan's son as a possible successor (this was actually discussed back when Shanahan initially came on board, as a sort of succession plan)
Snyder is obsessed with having a top offense, not understanding that you can still have a top offense with a defensive coach as your head coach a la Belichek, Schwartz, Dungy (back in the day) etc...
I agree in not wanting Shanahan here anymore, but I don't trust Snyder to hire the right guy, at all.

peace.
