However, I always caveated it with he was the best we could hire here. We are now a viable option for the best candidates. I'd love to see Ben Johnson or Kevin Smith here. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Shen will say analytics say clean the Snyder stench from the organization. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I’m happy because this means there is a chance we make some moves here. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaSkins21 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Shen will be the first of many dominoes to fall. Harris will probably add more of his guys as the season goes along. Here's hoping this sets up for getting a top notch GM and and head coach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koolblue13 Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 This morning I'd have said no way are we trading anyone, but now that there is a new boss on the head sets and someone who supposedly reports to Ron, while also being a direct line to Harris, I think maybe some things do happen. This is a great hire. The guys brilliant. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little snow ball has left the mountain top and is beginning to grow as it rolls. I wouldn't be surprised to see more hires coming in. We can build our FO around the GM/HC, so the new GM can step into a well run machine and that should be pretty attractive in the hiring process. Exciting time to be a fan of this franchise. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both the Nationals and Commanders have been the slowest teams in their respective leagues to adopt analytics and the available technologies and then turn around and make excellent hires to rectify that. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. But in fairness to the Nats, they at least had Mike Rizzo running things and the guy knows the game of baseball as well as anyone. That can sort of make up for analytics. We've never had anyone like that for the Commanders, so the lack of analytic approach REALLY hurt. 2 hours ago, Stihl89 said: Just lol Is Shen's job gameday analytics or more of a team/roster building analytics? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait are you saying that you think that the head coaches in the league, (Shanahan, McVay, LaFleur, McDaniel, O'Connell) , left because of hurt feelings?

FootballZombie Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) Mid teams do mid things. Even tho we look really bad right now, I'm not expecting some 5 win team come seasons end. We will find a way to scrape together a couple more Ws. My before season prediction of 8 is in dire straights however...

He should have stayed quit. Everybody would have been smarter for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
