The Carnage Continues
The Redskins Coaching Search: Day 17


Here's my question: If Dinny (writing Dan and Vinny became too superfluous; plus they're single-handedly disproving the old maxin "two heads are better than one" - they need a nickname) is completely against hiring Gregg Williams, why haven't they been leaking negative stuff to the press about him? Dinny knows that public perception of the Redskins is crucial, this is why Jim Fassel is still unemployed. So why have they failed to put out some on-the-record, unattributed stuff about him? Watch, it's easy:

According to senior team officials, Williams' defensive players became disenchanted with his abrasive coaching style late in the season. His standing was also hurt by poor interviews in which his leadership abilities came into question.

You see? And I just made that up in 15 seconds.
Yet through inaction, Dinny has turned Williams into a martyr. It's gotten so bad that people who were on the fence about him just two weeks ago (like me) are demanding that he be hired. The Redskins rarely lose PR battles, but they are getting killed on this one.
