Riggo on the hiring of Sherm Lewis

[giles422]

man, is he cool.

[Theworldisyourz09]

very good analysis riggo

[202kid]

what do u think of Russ Grimm as a coach?

[Lazerus53]

John I loved watching you play, you were the best, but this picking at the skins every week is not good. listen folks, Dan isnt selling the team, he is our owner, Jason is our quaterback, and Jim is our coach (this year) lets chear them on. I hate this constant whinning. Hail to the Redskins. enough is enough.

[kepler1000]

@Lazerus53 I am Redskins fan and they SUCK! I have accepted that and Riggo is about the only thing getting any real fan through this nightmare....

The Danny needs an intervention....

[scottsway]

bench campbell and put in collins, thats just for starters.

[fedexskins]

when there is a problem with this team I look to jhon for answers he knows more about the team then dan vinnie zorn the rest of the coaching staff and the players hey dan fire vinnie hire Riggo for GM lord knows he would be a dern good one.

[iamtoothewalrus]

Guys like John Riggins is what made football fun to watch and made you feel good when you watched it.

[lanuiiohu]

Jimmy Johnson warned Dan 6 years ago about the same problem John mention, but Dan ignored...........Now, a bingo guy is calling the play. How low can Skins get ?

[awalted23]

i was thinking the exact same thing as what he was saying. if they start winning does lewis take over? it's just a matter of time before riggo unleaches both barrels on snyder, he's been holding back. i'm ready with my popcorn

[Locksmith2dmvp]

i miss the john riggins show on espn 980 but im sure i understand why that got shut down. fan revolution!

[Trackside1234]

John you need to get back on the radio. WJFK is calling.

[IcedEarth426]

He's gonna be on the radio tomorrow (Tuesday) to talk about the Skins. Channel 103.5fm at 10am if you're interested.

[Trackside1234]

Yeah I saw that but he needs his own show, three hours a day, everyday. I don't think that he will do very well hosting a show. He always has needed a partner. Can you imagine Lavar Arrington working alone?

[IcedEarth426]

You're definitely right that he needs his own show. Can you imagine if he and Lavar did a show together? lol

[jimjojo123]

By the way Riggo, you are still Da Man!

[jimjojo123]

Danny Boy Snyder is pure poison to this organization, plain and simple. Danny Boy needs to take a page out of the late Jack Kent Cooke school of NFL franchise ownership by hiring a good GM, signing the checks, and staying the hell out of the way.

I call on all redskins fans to boycott this team, and any of its related products and services, until new ownership is found. I know it's tough love; however, this organization will continue to stink unless Danny Boy is gone!

[doxiechic]

Snyder is just like Al Davis of the Raiders - coincidence that we both have the worst teams in the NFL? Meddlesome owners need to sit the F*%#K down and shut the F*&#K up and let the coaches do what they do best.

[mguy08]

Riggo, your sarcasim becomes you! Obviously Snyder didn't sign your last check.

[tombt1]

The one common denominator over the last decade of misery is Snyder. The skins have changed quarterbacks and coaches. They've brought in overly priced talent and consultants. What do they have to show for it? Nada! They stink and they've stunk since Snyder bought the team. He meddles too much in coaching decisions and player selection. As long as he owns the team, no decent coach will come here. Someone please buy him Madden Football so he'll leave the real thing alone.

[xxn3alxx]

Hey Captain Obvious, Riggo is being facetious when he uses the term "master mind"

[Traveller1612]

.... I wish Riggo would go back to the Mohawk hair style he used to have....

.... ahhhh, the good ole days.........

[terrafy]

Calling Vinny Cerato a Master-Mind is like calling Adolph Hitler a compassionate guy!

[bluemoon95]

@terrafy LOL

[shakemup]

i'm still confused as to what exactly we are..we've yet to identify what type of team we want to be..at this current point we dont do anything well..i'm sorry we are in the east and in order to be able to survive in this power conference we have to be able to run the ball in order to set up the pass...this logic escapes me of passing to set up the run..we dont have the that kind of talent in the WR core..

[workcloz]

I think somebody could use the Redskins as a case study in how not to run a franchise . This latest debacle not only demoralizes the coach but the players and fans as well .

[yogie1976]

im a die hard skins fan its about dam time we get rid of jason ,,,we should go get jeff garcia,,,and get rid of snider that guy kills us

[mcleanboi]

Yogie U cant be a redskins fan if u wanna go get Jeff Garica. He's done Why u think he was released? We need a good coach like Cowher or someone not Jim Zorn. Some of the Redskins fan are killing me trying to get rid of Campbell. He need an offense that is suitable for his style of play......

[Yogimjc]

All the A list coaches are too smart to come here. Snyder has ruined this team and nobody who is any good would want to waste their talent here. Snyder is Al Davis Jr.

[mcleanboi]

Snyder problem is he wants the Big Ring now. He needs to Rebuild like the cowboys did when Jones hired Jimmy Johnson. He built the cowboys even though I hate those Bastard. It's hard to get coaches when they retire so when Cowher and Holgram was out we didnt have a choice. Even thought I felt we should have kept Greg Williams as our Head Coach. Snyder messed up when he got the OC first before getting a head coach.

[yogie1976]

campbell has had to much time to prove himself ,,i agrre w/ you on cowher i even like gruden a coach that will hold people responsible,,,we need a offense line but we keep getting defenders,,and dont tell me ive not a fan because i disagree w/ you chief

[redjoker581]

the redskins need a new GM and head coach badly

[humantypo]

That would be a start, but until "Al Davis Jr". sells the team we are doomed as fans.

[drl20895]

the washington snyderattos

[ruadhrose]

Riggo! We miss you!! Ever consider coaching?? I think the Skins' offense, especially the running game could use your expertise!

[meac355]

LOVE IT!

[nettec]

On Tuesday, 10-13, Chris Cooley said that he had not yet talked to Lewis. WTF?

[suqueboard]

is sherm an upgrade over pepper rodgers?

[mitchellsc0303]

Clean your backyard you slacker!

[BigSlappie]

I don't know: doesn't the black barrier usually mean something's under construction?

[Teresa7087]

An honest man, Riggo is. Here is the thing in a nutshell: This franchise has been systematically undermined and ruined starting from the day Snyder became owner. He clearly has NO idea how to run a pro franchise, he has Cerrato as his "court jester" - a man who no one else would hire when Schottenheimer fired him, we have a revolving door of coaches. NOTHING will improve as long as Napoleon Snyder owns this team. The glory days are now a distant memory - hope you saved them to DVD!

[JMP608608]

Mr. Riggins -

I speak for all Redskins fans when I say that we cannot thank you enough for speaking honestly about the sorry state of our franchise. Unlike some in our local media, you've been calling it like you see it without worrying about hurting feelings or losing access, and for that we are very grateful.

[jefevadc]

They call him Mister Riggins. Love it!

[1menaregood1]

Good point that it is a no win for Zorn. The only thing I can figure is it may be a way to save some face in benching Campbell.

[benjamin015]

Crank that Diesel!

[danbrown565]

fire vinny!

[WARLORD1863]

Way to go, Riggo!

[BurgNGold328]

Get em Diesel!!!!

[stephenmathes]

Snyda has no clue how to empower and lead people...he and his dimwits undermine the whole franchise repeatedly...I always thought that Gibbs2 really left to get away from the Snyderatto jokeshow more than anything else he stated as the reason! Good luck Zman...you have a tough road when your ownership works against you and has no clue.

[DementedRich]

Riggo, I totally agree with you! I've been a fan all my life, and it hurts to see where this once proud franchise has gone. You said it best when you said that the Snyd must go! Something's gotta change, but this isn't the way to get it done!
