guess o'Danny Boy was rejected by everyone?

1. Yep. I think that almost everyone with an ounce of sense

turned down the job. The Skins are now the Raiders of the east.
Guess we `can look forward to a lot more 5-11 years.

2. so what happened to Fassel? The NFL "experts" (Clayton,

P. King, C. Mortensen, etc.) were all convinced that Fassel was the guy after Spagnoula dropped out. Snyder sure is a weirdo.

3. redskinsinsider is reporting

that Fassel pulled out after snyder took forever to get to the meat of negotiations.

From all reports Jim Zorn is a good guy, but still.

4. I have no clue on this hire.

Zorn is a smart guy and excellent QB coach but head coach of the Washington Redskins??????? Next fall will be interesting to say the least.

5. Ican't wait until I hear Riggins's take on this tomorrow

I saw this this morning in the local paper. It happened so quick that they didn't even have an opinion on it yet (Richmond Va.)and we are the heart of Redskin country

6. Well, I loved him as a player....

...for whatever that's worth. 3-13 coming right up! :P

...
Snyder’s politics lean to the far right. He is a big donor to the Republican Party, a supporter of President George W. Bush and close friends with George Allen, the former far-right-wing senator from Virginia who lost his Senate re-election bid to Jim Webb in 2006 primarily because he was caught on videotape referring to a Webb campaign volunteer as “macaca.”
Zorn is active with Pro Athletes Outreach, a group that aims “to recruit and equip an army of coaches, professional athletes and their families to make a positive impact in the world for Jesus Christ.”
While Zorn’s religious beliefs are well known, his political leanings are less understood. However, based on his close friendship with Steve Largent, an extreme right-wing former congressman and born again Christian from Oklahoma, it can be safely assumed that Zorn leans to the far right.

9. Joe Gibbs built a very religious team

no suprise there, that is in his image. no one should really be suprised then that snyder would find someone in the same mold.
