Snyder taps Cerrato as Skins 'Godfather'

and maybe...sometime before mini-camp is due to start, they might name a coach!?

Jim Fassel, Jim Schwartz, Gregg Williams....there was talk that reporters had looked up the flight plan filed by Redskin One (Snyder's plane) ad it was in Raleigh today (home of Bill Cowher). Hell, at this point I'VE had two interviews for the Skins' coaching gig. (I don't think they're leaning my way.)

If Fassel comes, it looks like Rex Ryan would move down Rt. 295 from the Ravens to the Redskins to run the D...and possibly Jim Zorn to run the offense. (And Al Saunders, he of the 700 page playbook, would be 2 and out in Redskinland.)

And while all this is going on Vinny Cerrato, the biggest ass-kissing lap dog since Fredo Corleone, has been named Snyder's consigliere...the "Executive Vice President of Football Operations." So that pipe dream of snagging a "real" GM is dead and rotting in a landfill off the NJ Turnpike. "Leave the gun. Take the Cannoli."

I really hope that this process won't drag on into next week. The football world will have enough on it's mind with Brady vs Manning in the desert. It's time to pull the trigger Dan-o. We're all getting tired of the B.S. speculation from Bram Weinstien and Jason La Canfora. (For what it's worth...both are pretty well tied in and their speculation is better than a lot of other reporter's confirmed reports.)

La Canfora says that we could have an announcement as soon as tomorrow...that Fassel, Zorn and Ryan are working out their deals now. And if that's the new Redskins braintrust...I can live with that. (Maybe Rex Ryan will end Lavar Arrington's banishment from Ashburn and resurect his caree in the Terrell Suggs pass rushing LB mold). Although it sounds like the current players will be very pissy if Gregg Williams doesn't get the gig.
