DaSkinzBaby Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 In doing research of Snyder Communications. I noticed ONE very important fact that will not and cannot be falsified: Snyder has never hired a minority for executive staff!! So therefor it is quite obvious that Snyder won't hire any black head coach. See there is a difference in signing a black athlete and then hiring a black head coach. Sorry Ole Danny Boy won't do it because he never has in the past and I also don't think that Rhodes was ever a real candidate back when Norv was fired. You see Terry Robiskee could have had a fair chance and he was only interim head coach. The bottom line is this to Snyder it doesn't matter what our record is as long as the mighty dollar keeps rolling in. Snyder doesn't have the hindsight to hire Rhodes or Green regardless there will be some boring white coach on the sidelines next year. Watch!

GB81 Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 We've had minorities hired for our last three coordinator jobs... I think you are barking up the wrong tree... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if your "boring white coach" was borderline racist or plain ignorant. Why does it matter what color or next coach is? As long as he's qualified for the job, I could care less. As long as the signing translates to wins, I could care less. Why even bother posting pointless threads like these? Are you implying Snyder is racist? Owning a team nicknamed the "Redskins" and the diverse group of players and coaches he has now says the exact opposite of that. If a little green alien lands on Earth, walks up to Snyder and says "Your team sucks, I will lead them to the promised land" and coaches us to the promised land, I could care less. The bottom line is, hire the guy who gives us the best chance to win. don't hire a coach based on color, that would be the absolute WORST thing Snyder could do.

GB81 Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 This post really pissed me off, if only because it made me do something I never thought I'd do: Defend Dan Snyder. Snyder is an egomaniacal, selfish, petulant a$$hole (in my opinion)...but he's not a racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riggins44 Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Strange...could swear that Snyder tried to hire Rhodes when he fired Norv, but Rhodes declined due to loyalty to Turner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It speaks volumes if he never hired a minority executive in his company. I am surprised he never got in trouble for that. There are very strong hiring practices in place in the workforce.

GB81 Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that the info as to how many minority execs Snyder has hired is not out on the internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very strong statement I hope you have something to back your claim. Not only would this be a problem in the NFL but in hiring practices in the US.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Yeah, I think I'd have to say you could label Danny boy a lot of things but you'd have to stop before getting to bigot. I think the only color he sees is green.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaganaut Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Snyder's best friend and best man at his wedding was black. He is also close friends with Bernard Shaw from CNN. Dude's a real prick, but not a racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins24 Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Worst thread ever on this board. So people just take their hate for Snyder too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaSkinzBaby Posted January 5, 2004 Author Share Posted January 5, 2004 I am not saying anything about a racist I am simply saying that based upon management from Snyder Communications Snyder has a track record of not hiring minorities for upper level management. Also the boring white coach remark was more in line with a yes man. Snyder surrounds himself with yes men case in point Cerrato. Now basically Denny Green creates offensive juggernauts, bring in a qualified DC like Rhodes, or any other one out there and the skins could be in the thick of things. So again I am not saying he is a racist I am simply stating that based upon his past he hasn't hired minorities for upper level management positions and I don't think he will start now.

GB81 Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Terry Robiskie...if memory serves...was not white. So Denny Green and Ray Rhodes are good coaches and Jim Fassel is a snivelling yes man? Brilliant. Someone turn up the heat, I'm getting the stupid chills over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OURYEAR#56 Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 What is this guy talking about. Snyder has hired a bunch of black employees. How could you tell if one executive is black or white. Dan has gone out his way to hire black assistant coaches. Have you looked at the side lines lately. GE-Black, Robisky-black, Marvin Lewis-black, and soon either Denny Green or Rhodes-black.

Southtown Posted January 5, 2004 Share Posted January 5, 2004 Arringtonhitz, you said you did some research...can you state your source or a link? I did a quick Google search and saw that Snyder Communications had over 2000 employees and other stuff but for some reason I didn't find the "white executives only" section. Can you help me out?
