Snyder takes his time, doesn't make any knee-jerk reactions, performs his due diligence, conducts a thorough process (confirmed by the commissioner) and some just want to bash him because he didn't make the decision faster or to their time parameters.
Did you have a straight face when you said that
I know some wish it could be faster, but the fact remains, in this case anyway, Snyder had to wait until after the Superbowl to interview Spags.
So Snyder had to wait until after the SB to interview a guy you said...
I don't really think Snyder ever truly intended to hire him
Karl is that you??
I was going to say this in the the other thread but canceled it, I'm glad somebody else realized it.
You applaud Danny for not really wanting Spags but why would Danny delay the process by WEEKS to interview someone he doesn't want?
Spags wasn't offered the job because it never got that far. He would have had the job if he wanted it. Or let's put it this way, if Danny didn't prebake the coaching staff, Spags would have taken the job. I think most HC's can stomach Vinny and this unorthodox FO but they can't take being forced to use people they have 0 chemistry with!
Spags was INTELLIGENT to not take this crummy job. I hate Sally Jenkins but she was right in that this job is not attractive. Riggo was saying it on the radio. People come here to get paid, that's it and even that's not enough anymore.

So why take the job?
I'm a big believer in the value of NFL head-coaching jobs. There are only 32 of them, and you never know when the shine will come off your career. So if you can, I usually say take the job.
In this case, Spagnuolo probably made the right decision. If he's really being paid near $3 million a season, the Giants might be going to $6 million a season for Tom Coughlin's extension, which is coming.
I don't know whether Snyder truly wanted Spags or not. That's not the point. Companies will interview thousands of candidates knowing only one will get the job. It is prudent in the business world to gather all the relevant information possible before drawing conclusions. It's called due diligence. I've interviewed many people in which I had a preconceived notion they probably wouldn't ultimately be hired. That doesn't mean you only interview one guy.
I was happy Spags wasn't hired because I don't think he's qualified at this point in his career. That's a personal opinion, nothing more, nothing less. And I don't think the head coaching position of the Washington Redskins is a crummy job, nor did Mr. HOF himself, Joe Gibbs. Gibbs came out of retirement to work for Dan Snyder and had nothing but positive things to say about him.
Is Danny the greatest owner ever? Of course not. Have I been confused and baffled by some of the goings on lately, due solely to the fact that I have no facts and don't fully know all the details? Absolutely. But I'm not some arm chair quaterback who always thinks I can do it better or that I know more than the people who are actually employed in the industry. I'm a business owner. I always laugh when someone who has never been formally educated in the field and has absolutely no working experience in the industry, try to act like they know more than those of us that do. How noble is it to sit back and criticize the efforts of others when we have no knowledge of the variables and no real life experience in the field?
