Saunders speaks!
 

Its not much...but he did say a few things publically:

"It was disappointing," Saunders said. "That would have been a wonderful organization and a wonderful thing. [Chiefs President] Carl Peterson chose the coach that he felt was best for him and the organization at that time, and I understand that."

Saunders wouldn't comment when asked about reports that Peterson had once promised him the Chiefs job.

"I am just very grateful that I right now have the chance to do this with the Washington Redskins, and that is where I am looking," Saunders said."

We wasted him. He deserved the HC job more than anyone. I wish he would have stayed. DAMN YOU CARL PETERSON.

we are better off without him..we got a coach with playoff wins....what was al saunders record as a head coach?

knowing the luck of KC sports history....Im sure The Redskins will win the Super Bowl with a Saunders led offense sometime in the next 2-3 years...

Wouldnt surprise me.

aren't we optimistic

Hell, he was on the NFL Network this afternoon.Talking about how great it was working with Vermeil, and Gibbs is the only other HC he will work for besides Vermeil. Of course, he had a snide tone when the question of why didn't go back to KC as OC. It was your basic sugarcoated candy appled bullshit.

jabberwocky

I just don't understand this comment...How did he deserve it more than anyone else exactly? Did Gunther deserver it more than anyone else 7 years ago when he was hired? After all, he was every bit as good of a DC at the time as Al was an OC for the last few years. How did that turn out?

Not saying this would turn out the same way, but how can you confidently say he was the best out there? IMO, we clearly got the best coach that was hired this offseason. I don't even know how that could be disputed.

Well, we will probably never know the complete story but Whitlock was on to something in his story. There has to some good reason why Saunders kept getting passed over for unproven kids with resumes half his size.

I think most people are just scared of a return to the old "Martyocrity" days with Herm. Im with you though, Herm is proven and im willing to give him a chance. Only time will tell.

:titus:


ya know i remember the same people saying similiar stuff about Vermeil when he was hired.

and we had a good team a couple of years under him didn't we

S.T.F.U.

you shut up...


you don't KNOW whether we are better off ... you just HOPE we will be.


i hope we will be better too but making your HOPE into some kind of lecture for other people is bullshit.
