It's hard to believe, but nevertheless true, that had it not been for the strong vociferous defense of this forum, when we desperately needed it most, by Jason Wright, this place would have become the internet equivalent of a forgotten ghost town, closed and boarded up forever, with only the sound of wind howling and the occasional aimlessly rolling tumbleweed left behind, to mark that anyone was ever here. He does deserve our gratitude for that decision, if nothing else. . Edited July 18 by CommanderInTheRye 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVAskins Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 It looks like Jason is leaving at the end of the 2024 season, so he'll be here a bit longer. It also sounds like it was his decision to leave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSkins Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Everyone involved in the rebrand seems to be gone. All that history leaving the building. How will we ever get someone as talented as Tanya to design the uniforms or Jason to be so creative to repurpose the mannequins into a Sean Taylor tribute? His placement of port a potties was second to none. You don’t just replace a skillset like that without scouring the earth for replacement talent. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinzplay Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 He'll never be hired as a team prez or GM by any other organization. Just not qualified. And all the lieutenants he hired under him had never held those kinds of positions before, which helped to mask his own incompetence as running that side of a franchise's operations. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also sounds like it was his decision to leave. He’s been downgraded to a “senior advisor” title and is no longer President effective immediately, and will transition out by the end of the season, yes. That’s letting someone leave gracefully who you would otherwise fire. If it was his decision to leave he would have just taken another job while he was still the President. He tried to get the GB CEO job, and didn’t, because he knew this was coming. Wright is probably fine with it because he probably knew it was coming for a long time, but this is absolutely Josh Harris’s decision. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderInTheRye Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Is Bob Myers still involved with the team? Perhaps, they're moving Wright out to create a permanent position for Myers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyHolt Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 When a person resigns, don't most big name orgs cut the cord and say thanks, write them a fat check and move on? A resignation is better than nothing but 8 more months of questionable decisions will be painful unless we are winning ON the field. If the site vanishes lets all meet up on Reddit to regroup when his saved company credit card inevitably gets rejected. For posterity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the site vanishes lets all meet up on Reddit to regroup when his saved company credit card inevitably gets rejected. For posterity There won’t be 8 more months of decisions, he’s no longer the President. He’s a senior advisor now, he’s not making any decisions (and probably wasn’t for the past year either). When you push someone into the background like that with a predetermined end date, that’s basically severance and a grace period to find a new gig. It would be nice if we could get in touch with someone from the team to figure out how Wright saved ES though. If he really paid for the servers or whatever out of his own pocket (or was willing to but didn’t need to) then we’ll need a plan B going forward. Or at least we’ll need someone who’s currently with the team to have the site on their docket. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice guy. Just got pinned as the scapegoat for much of Dan's ****. So sad. I agree with this. It upsets me a bit to see people hate on Wright for things that have been a calling card of Dan Snyder for 25 years. Let's remind everyone it's only been a few months since another team legend, Darrell Green has been welcomed by the franchise. Dan Snyder botched everything. Now he could be justifiably fired for other stuff maybe, but blaming him for Dan Snyder **** up #102 seems like trying to shift blame away from Snyder...and I don't want to ever give Snyder the benefit of the doubt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason openly lied to the fans. Outright lies. Bruce Allen always qualified his statements. Jason was always a complete fraud. All talk and zero substance. Good riddance. This new ownership group is not screwing around. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naaa it was dude. It wasn't Snyder that botched the rebranding. The not knowing the year the Franchise won its Superbowls. Making the wrong patch. Botched the Sean Taylor jersey retirement. Most importantly, under his watch, the Franchise was ranked by the players as having the worst working conditions in the league, and the team he ran was ranked at the bottom of the league. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't place the blame for that ranking on Jason Wright. Our previous owner controlled the purse strings. If you blame him for that, then he should get credit for the improvements made under Harris. That's just unfair criticism. However, he should rightfully be ridiculed for the wrong Superbowl dates on the team seal. That was a complete embarrassment that should never have happened. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatteredFanSyndrome Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Little experience, answering to Dan and working within Dan’s budget, what could go wrong?

Most importantly, under his watch, the Franchise was ranked by the players as having the worst working conditions in the league, and the team he ran was ranked at the bottom of the league. How is that not Dan Snyder's fault. He absolutely botched the rebranding. He only changed the name to begin with because he couldn't keep his dick in his pants and created a culture of sexual harassment/assault towards women. "Commanders" was Snyder's choice. I don't know who was responsible for the fan vote/input charade on the name, maybe that was Wright's idea to drum up interest, but the rebranding issues were always starting with Snyder and ending with him too. His wife (a co-owner) designed the uniforms! Wrong patch was whack, no doubt there. Wright dropped that ball. Sean Taylor jersey retirement was another Snyder move. He's pulled belated and rushed crap like that for decades. There was heat on him, he was trying to drum up a different news story and put butts into seats. Have you guys seen this graphic? 23% of average franchise revenue comes from fans at games. Pre-season sales are miniscule. Snyder ain't making the playoffs. He's only got 8 home games to come up with 23% of his expected yearly revenue. You're damn straight Snyder saw declining attendance, panicked, and rushed the Sean Taylor thing. Cause that's what Dan Snyder does. He does kneejerk reactions, doesn't think, and half asses everything. I think it's utter bull**** that people are trying to give Dan Snyder a pass on being incompetent. We saw him be incompetent for a Quarter of a Century but people are like "nah, the recent incompetent stuff can't be his fault". Cause he had such a good track record right? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
