If so, I may have to amend some of my previous posts about him...nothing personal with him, as I understand being under Snyder wasn't going to be good for him anyway...it's just his history of screwing up PR issues was grating...and it's possible that's a duty that Snyder shoved off on him without Wright being prepared. TK confirmed it in one of the threads when it happened. It changed my opinion of him very, very much. We may be only a pocket of fans, but he's looking out for us. If he stays with the team, I won't be disappointed. On 11/8/2023 at 5:24 PM, TK said: Not really sure if Harris/Magic get the credit. Calling Magic out on Twitter/X whatever was a “Voice of the Voiceless” move for the entire 20+ year community that’s been built here. But I’ll say this, while he’s been blamed for a lot of screwups under Dan, Jason Wright actually at one point offered to pay the server bill out of his own pocket. THATS a move to get the fan base (at least here) back. Props & respect to him for that. Edited January 8 by NickyJ 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho fan Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 26 minutes ago, spjunkies said: I admit to having a soft spot for Wright since I think that ES would've been dead in October if he didn't jump in to fix the problem when we were shut down for a few days. Cool. Counting the seconds till Wright is fired. Need to eliminate as much as we can that has any connection to Dan. Wright and the embarrassing name are at the top of the list now that Ron is gone. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Est.1974 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 See ya Ron. That relationship spiralled badly, and quickly. Agree with those wanting Wright canned. Get that done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Bob Myers has an impressive executive resume - in basketball. Does it matter that his background includes nothing related to football at any level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veretax Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 4 minutes ago, Dan T. said: Bob Myers has an impressive executive resume - in basketball.

If you build a good scouting group and you trust them, then you can often defer to them. People seem to think being GM is like being GM/owner in Madden. There is more to it than just picking players.

Professor_Nutter_Butter Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Having Rivera also give a statement is how you really prop up a team that's been worse than bad for decades. I hope this is the start of a franchise that's at least competent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Evans is probably smart enough to know that his expertise is not in identifying potential players as opposed to identifying strong leaders with good organization skills and strong character. In other words, can he find winners to put in the front office that translates to winning games on the field? That's what Harris is banking on for sure.

dckey Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I think people are getting misunderstood by what they're doing. What I think is the best thing about what they're doing is creating a model with a President of Football Operations/GM. You have some organizations like the 49ers Lynch and Ravens that describes they're organization this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) Shehan I think descriped an idea where: President/ Head of Football Operations Other Presidents (marketing for example), General Manager, Coach all reporting to the president. So instead of the GM gettting a turnstile of coaches when the GM fails to manage the team well, and vice versa the gm getting fired when the Coach can't coach talent. You can separate each's record instead of it being a chain. Edited January 8 by Veretax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veretax Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Wanted to post this separately. BTW While listening to Josh Harris on Audacy, and can I just say, that at tims he stammered a bit, some uhms fo rexample, but man, even if he's a little uncomfortable, he's so much more well thought and spoken than Snyder EVER was. He may not like being the center of attention but appreciates the solem nature of this and the importance, and significance of this to the entire Nation here. I think we are blessed to have an ownership group that includes him. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerryMason Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I noticed in his statement Ron only referred to the team as “Washington” and never the Commanders. He knows this team will always be the Redskins deep down. That being said, see ya! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
