It's hard for me to look back at all the times I supported Ron. I am ready for a Josh clean sweep! 

Ditto. 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.

Shen will say analytics say clean the Snyder stench from the organization.

[KDawg]

I’m happy because this means there is a chance we make some moves here.

[NoVaSkins21]

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

I appreciate patience and being thoughtful but some decisions have to be made because of the calendar. The trade deadline is coming and they have to pick a strategy regarding their pending FAs.

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.

That's why I started the thread. 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.

Chris Russell is the Ron Rivera of sports radio--he clearly doesn't understand any of the modern game and just gets angry at it, like an old man, trying to return soup to a deli.

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.

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.

Is Shen's job gameday analytics or more of a team/roster building analytics?

And anyone they did have: McVay, Shanahan, etc., they ran out of the building because of hurt feelings.

If I were to guess it’s on big picture type of moves.

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?

That's a statement I haven't heard in a very long while.

So who do you think they hire to run Harvest fest?

[Stihl89]

What I am absolutely terrified of. 

[FootballZombie]

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...

Chris Russel hasn’t had a cogent thought since he swore he would quit out the Redskins’s signed DJax.  
 

He should have stayed quit.  Everybody would have been smarter for it.
