The guy who was supposed to be the coach, but Dan Snyder just didn't "gell" with, was the former Redskins DC, who is now with the Saints. Great decision, half pint.

Yeah, I really wanted Gregg Williams to stay. Man, LDS (little Dan Snyder) is so inept and frustrating as an NFL owner its not even funny anymore.
By the way, while it hasn't been publicly stated that Ralph Friedgen has been "relieved" of any playcalling/decision-makings, it has been implied that the program wants to find a complimentary coordinator that can take over a good portion of the way the team runs as a whole, (whether this means a more creative offense coordinator, or somebody to shore up the defense, it's kinda murky at this point) and it can be seen as if though Friedgen solved the problem of Maryland's slump (I think). Also, I forgot to mention Joe Paterno (as a similar head coach who was in a way disrespected by having to relinquish 'coaching power' as a prerequisite to staying onboard).
Still, I wish Bobby Bowden the best in his retirement. It's a shame that the background story to his decision actually caused this to come about, but he'll still be known as a legend in college football hereafter.
