NFC East

With the Cowboys having had the best record in the conference this year and the Giants of course in the super bowl, the 2008 prospects for the Eagles have dimmed considerably.

 

But then again, thank gosh for the Redskins, where after a four year reprieve under the Joe Gibbs redux, Danny Snyder appears ready to revert to form and return the Skins to the very model of an unstable organization.

 

First came the weird promotion or bestowment of the title "executive" vice president to Vinny Cerrato, Danny's best bud, whose biggest football claim to fame continues to be as Lou Holtz's successful recruiting director at Notre Dame 15 years ago.

 

But things got truly strange when head coach in waiting Gregg Williams was sent packing, along with offensive guru Al Saunders. In their place, come Greg Blache and Jim Zorn, who has already announced that the Skins will run a west coast offense

 

So the Skins have hired an offensive and defensive coordinator but still no head coach. If it is Fassel, why wait to make the announcement until after the super bowl? If they really want spagnuola, they better hope he is ok with Zorn and Blache as his top two assistants. Is it possible that spagnuolo spurns them given all that next week and danny has to go with plan b? All very strange.
