Warhead36 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 A good leader hires smart people around them. That's why Gibbs always had outstanding assistant coaches, even in his second go around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingdaddy Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I wonder how often Snyder reviews Allen's performance and what he believes are the reasons to keep him around? Would love to hear the reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsFTW Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Snyder paid about 800M for the team, despite being the NFC version of the Cleveland Browns it is now worth 3 Billion. Â Winning off the field since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe hire Joey T the President of Keeping Snyder Away From Anything Meaningful? Appoint Dexter Manley as the VP of Do Anything Regarding Player Personnel And I'll Danny White Your Ass.

Would love to hear the reasons.  1. Redskins Legacy? Check. 2. Has corporate experience? Check. 3. Strong network and ties in the league? Check. 4. Political connections in the Metro area? Check.  Honestly, I don't think he really needs to know football to keep his job. Given Snyder's history, the idea of hiring someone strictly for their football experience and acumen is a concept totally absurd to him, like the idea of promoting the in-house guy with the most experience over the outside hire in a better looking suit who can quote Marcel Proust and goes skiing in Gstaad on the 12th hour of every Winter Solstice.

Conn Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Do we think for a second that Dan feels this way, or would express it? Nah probably not. Just unlucky with all the injuries and we'll get 'em next year I bet.  http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/02/06/jerry-jones-screaming-into-his-pillow-about-the-eagles/amp/?__twitter_impression=true  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 This thought doesn't warrant its own thread and this was the most appropriate one...  With the bizarre circumstances around Josh McDaniels staying in New England, wouldn't it be something if Belichick has coached his last game with the Patriots and was looking for a new challenge? After watching "The 2 Bills" I would love someone like him to come in and gut the front office and build this place into a functional NFL organization. Imagine how quickly giving HIM full authority would have us moving in the right direction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snyder gave authority to the wrong guy and now we need a shinier object to distract him from Allen. I think our only hope is that someone famous and well-known is actually competent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llevron Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 While we are day dreaming, If I was Dan I would offer Belichick a percentage of ownership in the team if it meant getting him here. In whatever capacity. We need that kind of change here and no one could blame him if it didnt work.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatteredFanSyndrome Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 That would first require Dan to recognize and acknowledge the genius that Bill appears to be. I think it's rather clear by his two choices to run his FO over his entire ownership, coupled with the outrageous trade proposals we've heard he concocted, that identifying talent is not a real strong suit for him.
