The Skins are playing on Monday Night Football, so that could be the reason he's here.

EDIT: Wanted to clarify: not taking you to task on anything, I'm just saying that he could be here to do the broadcast or interviews for the broadcast.

Yep I'll second that

Christmas has come early. Thank you Dan Snyder.

Look how well they've done in the last decade...no coincidence!

Notre Dame actually went to four bowl games and won a National Champioship while Cerrato was the recruiting coordinator.

I think the Skins organization can use Marty Schottenheimer...

With Monday Night Football here this week, Gruden may be here as a normal schedule. I doubt there is much on that.

I'd say that's the most likely reason

Greasing the skids?

He's already said he's not talking to any teams that have a head coach in place. But, yes, maybe for after the season.

2nd that.

I have this weird feeling in my gut that we're hiring Holmgren, and it'll be kind of a "Here's your chance to give Zorn his chance" sort of deal.

EDIT: Also note the lack of mention of Zorn in Cerrato's list of coaches he enjoyed working with. Maybe he's bitter...because Snyder decided to stick with Zorn, and ditch out Vinny behind his back. I'm starting a little mini conspiracy theory here.

So long Vinny, I hope all is well w/you personally & DS gave you a nice chunk o change to raise your baby, but in the long run this may be bigger for our team than Joe Gibbs coming back.

Will this be the last Vinny thread?

Yeah. As pleased as I was with the news, I was more shocked with the timing when I initially heard it, although, as others have indicated, the timing might make more sense by the end of the day.

I think Holmgren is up there with Marty on the "fuggedaboutit" list, but who knows.
