Clueless Wa$hington Red$kins Continue Annual Failure To No Ones Surprise

So the Washington Redskins, in the midst of yet another annual downfall filled with a hundred million dollars of disappointments, finally switched their offensive coordinator after last week's latest loss to a winless team.

Wow. Like that will make a difference. This is the same franchise that thought it would be wise to give offensive coordinator and aspiring head coach, Al Saunders a whopping $2 million salary that was on par with that of their coach at the time. Funny how that didn't work out. Simultaneously they gave then defensive coordinator Gregg Williams a similar salary and continue to wonder why that didn't work out.

Now after rewarding their third winless franchise with their first victory of the season, an NFL record by the way, last week they decide to only remove the playcalling duties from the overmatched Jim Zorn and give it to a guy, Sherman Lewis, who has failed in just about every other job he's held in the NFL.

Brilliant. I wonder how that's going to turn out. We'll get a chance to find out tonight on national television.

This is the same franchise that hired Steve Spurrier for star power, only to see that flop, and begged legendary, but overrated Joe Gibbs back from retirement, only to see him give it a few ceremonial seasons before knowing it was a winless situation and retire again.

Did you hear Zorn's post game comments last week? Something along the lines of "I want to win. Its my fault and I take the blame for how we played today. If that means I have to go watch more film that's what were gonna do because I want to win."

Of course he wants to win. All thirty-two coaches do. That bit about "its my fault" was nothing but filler coming from a man who half-expected to be handed his walking papers.

But don't take this the wrong way. Its not just Zorn's fault. It truly starts from the top down, emphasis on the top. Redskins latest contract blunder" target="_blank">As I've outlined here the day after Fat Albert Haynesworth(less) signed with the team as part of their annual off-season splurge, one that I predicted will end in failure, Zorn is simply the latest in an un-winnable sitation.

We don't have enough time or space to outline all the things owner Daniel Snyder has done wrong in his decade long helm at the top, but suffice to say his Jerry Jones like obsession overlooking the team is the number one reason. The man simply doesn't know football. All he knows how to do is cut a check and he's not even good at that, if you read my article above.

Don't take this article as the ire of a disgruntled 'Skins fans for I am far from it. In fact, in predicting the high spending 'Skins to finish a typical 6-10 , I'm right on schedule with them appropriately in last place. No, if it weren't so funny, it wouldn't be so sad. I can only imagine how their real fans manage to keep up the hope every year when this dope continues to drag them down.

Fixing the 'Skins

For those of you asking "Well, you can sure dish it and seem to have all the answers, so let's here it what are they?" I'll tell you. Oh, and Snyder if you're hiring, I'd be happy to help you out. Just ask. The job security sucks but at least I'd know I'm getting paid.

1. You can't go through offensive coordinators and coaches like candy . Average quarterback at best, Jason Campbell, has had four offensive coordinators in his first four full years in the league. After some flashes of success, its actually quite admirable that the still young signal-caller has done as well as he has. He needs to develop a relationship with a single coordinator and build from there. Similarly they need to decide on one quarterback and go with it for good and bad.

Coach Zorn is going to be fired possibly? Why? What gave the Redskins the thought that they were actually any good thus, how dare he embarrass us and our tradition of winning by not doing as well as we hoped?

News flash, Snyder. Not only are you not that good, since 1992, long before you bought into the team, you weren't that good.
