| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00  | Well i figured posting this in the coaches thread that i started is pointless, because no one ever responds to it. This is the only article i could find, but i first heard this on ESPN. Spurrier will sign a 5 year, $25 million dollar deal by tomorrow. *EDIT* Just quoting from my coaches thread to give myself some credit for once :) quote: Snyder, Schottenheimer meet twice as negotiations continue By JOSEPH WHITE AP Sports Writer January 13, 2002 WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Washington Redskins coaching situation neared resolution Sunday night as owner Dan Snyder met with coach Marty Schottenheimer for the second time. ADVERTISEMENT The two met early in the afternoon, then Snyder unexpectedly called Schottenheimer back for a second meeting in the evening. Schottenheimer, who is also the director of football operations, has met with the owner several times since the Redskins ended an 8-8 season a week ago. Snyder, unhappy with some of Schottenheimer's personnel moves, wants to hire a general manager that would usurp some of the Schottenheimer's decision-making authority. Schottenheimer's contract gives him the final say over the content of the roster, and he has said he doesn't see a need for a general manager. If he is unwilling to accept a GM under Snyder's conditions -- or if Snyder can't find a general manager willing to work with Schottenheimer -- then Schottenheimer will probably be fired. The availability of ex-Florida coach Steve Spurrier, whom Snyder pursued before hiring Schottenheimer last year, makes Schottenheimer's situation more tenuous. On Saturday, Spurrier denied reports that he has had contact with Snyder or Redskins vice president Pepper Rodgers. Possible GM candidates include former Redskins GM Bobby Beathard, ex-Packers GM Ron Wolf and Bruce Allen, son of former Washington coach George Allen and now a special assistant in the Raiders front office. Snyder could also bring back former director of player personnel Vinny Cerrato, who was fired by Schottenheimer. Schottenheimer signed a four-year, $10 million contract last year. He is unlikely to resign because he would have to forfeit the remaining $7.5 million. If Schottenheimer is fired, Snyder would have to pay off the rest of the contract.

A "Yankees" team is NOT possible in football, you can't just spend all you can and win.  Whom are these Jets of which you speak of? New York State Twatto -- "Hey, you never know."

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | in my opinion, Spurrier has to be the dumbest guy out there. So many teams looking for coaches, and he chooses Snyder? He better not think hes staying for 5 years if he struggles, Snyder will fire his ass so fast and eat the money, because he is a scumbag. Couldntve happened to a more deserving team :) Go Knicks, Giants, Rangers, and Rutgers Men's Basketball Long Live Psycho Bitch | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 01 | edit1--Full story. Redskins fire Schottenheimer, reach agreement with Spurrier WASHINGTON (AP) - The Washington Redskins fired Marty Schottenheimer on Sunday night after one season and were close to hiring former Florida coach Steve Spurrier as his replacement. Spurrier and the team have an ``agreement in principle'' on a five-year contract worth about $25 million, a source with knowledge of the Redskins' negotiations said on condition of anonymity. The Redskins also will hire a general manager or someone with a similar title. Well, it appears to be done. Whom are these Jets of which you speak of? New York State Twatto -- "Hey, you never know."

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | Normally I would feel bad for Schottenheimer, but I dont. Nobody put a gun to his head and said go work for Dan Snyder. He knew what kind of a man he was working for when he put his name on the dotted line so here comes the consequences. But luckily for Schottenheimer his end of the season run will be enough to land him a job elsewhere, which might not of been the case if the Skins continued to struggle throughout the season. And Schottenheimer would be better off anywhere else, than working for Dan Snyder.  | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | Spurrier may find life in the NFL tough. The salary cap will make him wish for the days of ago, when on the college level, you only have to pitch to a high school student; tradition. He will not be able to assemble an endless supply of star talent that the college ranks afford. | ||||
