Blog Hound: What Will Be Daniel Snyder's Next Move?
Published January 10, 2008
In light of Joe Gibbs' resignation from the Redskins Tuesday, there is much speculation surrounding his departure and what it means for the franchise as a whole. Bloggers discuss Owner Daniel Snyder's next move.

| “The Redskins still hold the title of Free Agency Champions, and only a real GM can make sure that the money is spent wisely. Cowher deserves all that he will be offered. And while there's no guarantee that he'll accept, he should be the first one given that chance.” |

| “Looking to history as a judge, Danny Boy Snyder will hire someone to coach the team who will also ‘make a publicity splash’ when his name is announced and whose ascension to this position will afford Danny Boy loads of TV time.” |
| Blog Critics Posted by: Rick Vassar |
| “With the departure of Joe Gibbs today, there is only one thing left to say: ‘Dan Snyder, please sell this team!’” |

| “The media is speculating on Gibbs' replacement. I've heard them mention Bill Cowher's name. For his sake, I hope he's smart enough not to take the job. After working for the Rooneys, working for Dan Snyder must make you feel like you constantly need to take a shower.” |

| “Do the players want Gregg Williams? Eh: With names like ‘Pete Carroll’ being thrown around by his owner-colleagues, Snyder can't be satisfied.” |
