Gotta say I am tired of coaches praising Snyder. I guess he is a nice guy but just tired of the Snyder gushing every time. I don't doubt that a lot of the coaches and players love Snyder. I think he's one that if you're famous or your going to help him, he's really nice to be around and he'll bend over backwards for you. However if you're one of the peons, he'll piss on you all day.

Not only does Dan not talk to the media, he knows how to keep things in -house. It could suggest that for sure. It could also suggest that if he had a part in it, he has learned how bad of a business practice it is and wants to move on from it. Im honestly ok with either.

Which I prefer. I like the leaders like that in my life. This is a very important take away. Another is the continued growth of Snyder. Winning isn't absolute. The breaking of Snyder after year 5. And his continued exploration of doing it the right way has taken another turn for the best. From Gibbs who had absolute control but ultimately was out of touch. To the Zorn (approved by Gibbs) for the ..maybe next new best thing... That was sad. To Shanahan again, complete control and team president (and egomaniac) To Bruce and once again complete control that resulted in a culture that resembled Bruce (artificial and donkey sauce). Dan, to his credit has turned to a coach focus approach based on personal integrity and player respect. This is something to put my trust in. I feel good folks.

His career winning percentage (.546) is nearly identical to Mike Shanahan (.552). Hell, Chuck Noll is only at .566. Marv Levy at .561. Dan Reeves at .535. I get that winning percentage isn't everything. Mike McCarthy's winning percentage is .618 and he's readily available. But do we really know what Rivera is? Bill Belichick is a great coach, and he had one winning season in his first 6 as a coach. Rivera didn't exactly have the best hand dealt to him in Carolina and he did alright. Do we really know if he's a good or bad coach? Seems like a crap-shoot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMK9973 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 im excited - and about everything. Not just the Ron - but HOW it happened. Im tired of the "Its still Snyder" and "Nothing will change until Snyder is gone". Snyder has mad a CRAP LOAD of mistakes. And he is never going to be a accessible owner. BUT - you can't spend years complaining that Snyder should be doing things a different way, and then when he does, throw your hands up in the air and say "Nothing will change" Why bother arguing if when someone says "you are right" you still arent happy? For YEARS everyone has been screaming that Snyder needed to find football people from outside, review every bit of the organization, follow their recommendations, and get rid of anyone and everyone if they do not fit into the new culture. So Dan Snyder went out and got a group of football people. Had them review EVERY part of the org. Snyder took their recommendations and followed it. Fired Bruce and others that were close to him, but not the right person. Went thru EVERY bit of the organization. We said Dan's only job should be to get the right people then but out. So he went and found the best available person right now and reviewed with him every bit of the org. He is doing everything we begged him to do for years. Yes -I enjoyed the press conference but ive been excited before. The difference to me, is this is not changing 1 piece. This is a overhaul, that seems to be the result of Dan Snyder losing all pride and bringing in outside help and saying "What needs to get done" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats the deck we are playing with here in Washington DC. Exactly, it's called "managing up". Bring your boss to your side by including him in disucssions. If you try to go around him, he has the power to force you to do what he wants. If you can convince him that your way is best or even better, make him think your idea really came from him, it's a win-win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idaho fan Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I was a little surprised that Ron didn't give Haskins a vote of confidence when given the chance (at least thats how I took it). Sounded to me like he plans to play the best player period. I like the approach but I also wonder how that works with Dwayne's development. Id be surprised if Alex is the starter next year but I see him as the only competition as I think based on the second half of 2019 Haskins > Keenum.

Big mistake! This is not a mistake. It's ultimately how it works. Cook facilitated the same position whenever there was a rift between the front office and Gibbs. And Cook absolutely didn't give a flying rats ass about the ins and outs of football. Please don't believe that anyone and I mean anyone who invests in the success of any enterprise (that also happens to be the tip of the pyramid) is a voided presence. Every NFL owner is the ultimate tie breaker. The difference here is the collective experience and growth of Snyder as an owner. He is (Dan) leaning on integrity and accountability through what he's betting on is a competent human and football coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that's true. I have some of that as well, but for some reason I'm less sympathetic to this guy. Maybe it's the 20 soul-crushing years of crap as an owner? I don't know. Either way, must this doofus taint EVERYTHING? I now think he's also responsible for "FLECTHER". #bewarethereversecarwash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
