veteranskinsfan Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 This season could be a true dumpster fire and by the end of another non playoff season both players and coaches will be bailing out and also pointing fingers at the front office. Local media will have a field day with all the behind the scenes stuff that will most likely come out after this regime is booted. Meanwhile Teflon Allen and Snyder will remain in charge while they will continue their almost two decades record of poor decision making for this franchise. The fans suffer the most in my opinion. Coaches and players can move on by going to other teams and proving the Skins front office wrong. Meanwhile the fans remain locked in this dysfunctional abyss waiting for the team to improve and hoping the off the field drama can just go away.

I can count on two fingers the times that I’ve had hope since Snyder bought the team. I’ve honestly learned to go into the season with 0 expectations, though the dysfunction seems to spread into the offseason too. If Keenum some how survives with Ereck Flowers being part of his blindside protection, I’ll consider that a win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Just listened to Finlay's podcast, His take is Jay's job is in danger this season. And if he is let go they will likely downgrade on him versus upgrade. His point is Jay is a master at playing the difficult personalities of that FO. And the next dude probably won't have that skill. Personally, I think if Bruce is telling Dan they are close and have a playoff roster, then Jay is likely a goner because I doubt they make the playoffs myself unless they have one heck of a draft. If Bruce stays IMO good luck attracting a big name or hot commodity type in that case. Laconfora among others have said Bruce being in that FO repels any big time personnel or coaching prospect from wanting to go there. So I am betting it ends up O'Connell. Fiinlay among other also goes Bruce's job is safe as long as securing the stadium is still being worked on. Also (this is more Sheehan and Paulsen) Bruce knows fans don't like him. But he is convinced and persuaded others that it's nothing personal against him. That is, fans are just voicing their frustration about how the season ended and Bruce has the big title hence he is the target. But once they start winning and they will do so this season - fans would be cool with Bruce. And fans will show up to the stadium and all will be right.

Burgold Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I don't get the idea that Bruce is helping with the new stadium. I don't see any sign of that whatsoever. Maybe when his brother was still governor, but those days are long gone. Today, all I see is areas pulling out. I remember back when Jack Kent Cooke finally decided to leave RFK, MD, VA, and DC were warring over who gets the 'skins. All three were salivating. Empty stadiums and deteriorating fan bases and endless PR bungles go a long way towards reversing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakedtater1 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I'm just curious what kind of bull **** Danny boy tells coaches that come into interview..heck maybe the skins can get to a point where nobody wants to coach here at all forcing Danny to sale.

Chump Bailey Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Jay will rejoin his brother Jon after the season and I believe the Raiders will have a lot of success in the coming years especially with Mayock in as GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darrell Green Fan Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Not sure where to post this so how about here. Now that Preston Smith and Crowder were determined to be guys that were not "must re-sign" and Doctson is one more bad season away from being thrown out the door we can finally close the book on the Scott McCloughan Experience and label it a complete disaster. His drafts totally sucked and his free agent signings were even worse. Just put him with Marty, Coach Gibbs, Mike Shannahan and all the rest of accomplished football men who arrived at Redskins Park and suddenly became stupid. What's the common denominator in all of this? Daniel Snyder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both demanded big salaries and good guaranteed money on the open market. We just didn't have the wiggle room financially to keep them. Neither one of them are busts, even if they are no longer in the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSSkinz Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I dont know why Jay puts up with it, he could have an O coordinator job immediately and be back in a head coaching position within a couple years. Whats the point of staying if your a dead man walking, I cant imagine its a money thing at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither one of them are busts, even if they are no longer in the roster. The point was these were supposed to be his 2 hits in 2 complete drafts other than a guard at 5 which was pretty close to a can't miss pick. So if this is the best he did he didn't do very well. Crowder never got better after a promising rookie season, in fact he regressed big time and has one OK season to show for his complete body of work here. To claim he was "very good" is just not supported by the facts. Preston was pretty good, that's it. If he was a good player they would have made more of an attempt to sign him. He just wasn't much more than "pretty good", there are probably 20 edge rushers in the league as good or better. And again those guys were supposed to be his 2 hits other than Scherff which again was the safest pick possible and close to a near can't miss when you take a guard at 5. And of course we haven't even discuss his free agent signing which were a complete disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the thought process behind that but it's still easier said than done. There is 10M dollars left on the table and no opportunities out there. It's also not like he's currently some hot commodity that is guaranteed another head coach gig. I'd just grin and bear it, drop my nuggets behind the scenes, and force Dan to pay me 5 mil to not work next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empty stadiums and deteriorating fan bases and endless PR bungles go a long way towards reversing that. This is why Snyder will give Louis Riddick complete control after this season. Regardless of whether he's the most qualified (he may be), Riddick is polished, well known and highly respected. He's the perfect face of an organization, and that means politically too. You think DC political types want to talk to Bruce Allen and Dan Snyder? Come on. Send Riddick in there and Snyder will end up with a new stadium and maybe even another theme park. And the football might get better too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 To part of the point below "no one likes to talk about them." Craig Hoffman talked about this in a podcast which is at the owners meetings it wasn't hard to see that unlike how they congregated around other teams -- the national reporters had little interest to talk to the Redskins brass and that's a change from the past. As I mentioned on this thread before GMF ran a segment about why they talk so much about some teams but not others because of viewer interest. The two teams they had fun with as to yeah we can talk about for example these two teams (mocking the idea of them being examples of teams no one cares about) but who would watch? Those two teams being the Titans and the Redskins. During Dan's tenure he's made a team that was once considered one of the classiest and more competently run organizations to the opposite of that. But I admit I didn't think he had it in him to also made the team nationally mostly irrelevant. This is one of the big contributions from Bruce IMO. With Dan and Vinny messing with personnel -- they had at least some oomph and excitement in the mix of dysfunction. And they had some star power. So this new version of Dan's dysfunctional operation is essentially dysfunction + mediocrity + lack of pizzaz. And that combination had damaged his brand it seems even more than the previous version which was dysfunction with pizzaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
