While i know Josh Harris hired him (so he has to get a ton of credit), but Adam Peters orchestrated a magical 1st off-season! I hope it was a glimpse of what we will see with him on repeat and not just luck!! I believe we will be contenders year in and year out with AP in charge (i hope anyway)!!

This franchise is fortunate to have him and Harris.

Josh Harris set it all in motion, but it’s all the parts fitting together.

Lol . . . Jayden Daniels Mom was implicated in the ASU COVID recruiting scandal. Lots around here believe it is why he transferred to LSU. When the COVID shut down was in full swing teams where not allowed to bring in recruits for meetings and so on, so JD's Mom would call the recruits and bring them in, get them a hotel, etc. Then the coaches from ASU would "stumble upon them" and "chat unexpectedly" . . . LOL . . . it worked out well for JD either way!!

Its all about the culture DQ and AP have brought to WSH. JD5 was the icing on the cake. This is the first 12 win season as a fan of this team for 30 years... It feels damn good. I actually felt proud wearing my Terry jersey in dallas.

His mom must be Pat Benatar because she told Jayden's dad:

[I]Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Why Don't You Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away![/I]

Going be a philosophical here. When the "adults" are in charge, the chances of success for the offspring are much greater. Good parents that are not dysfunctional have a better chance of raising kids that will be successful. Good organizations that are not dysfunctional also have a better chance of developing a team that will be successful. Pretty simple.

hate to be "that guy" but another reason is easily the fact that we had the absolutely easiest schedule in the NFL (SOS = 32)

I think the people that we should celebrate are the same positions that we consistently spoke against for 25ish years. I think that a complete turnaround starts at the top and works its way down. We have a competent owner now, that puts people in positions to succeed instead of trying to squeeze every last cent out of every last pack of peanuts. So, I would say that we would have to look at the Harris ownership group as the focal point for turning a corner. If not for them, would AP have come here to GM this organization? Would this franchise be somewhere that coaches and players looked to come to instead of washed up re-hashes looking for a payday?
The culture shift I think is directly correlated to him purchasing the team and putting the right people in the right places to start a rebuild successfully.
Remember when Harris employed former Golden State Warriors GM Bob Meyers and former Vikings GM Rick Spielman to help search for the new coach, and how that seemed like an odd play? Turns out Harris knew what he was doing, and how he wanted to approach owning this franchise. Immediately he put the wheels in motion to right the ship. I'd have to say he is the singular reason that everything has started to turn around.
Now we can just hope that with more pieces being put into the correct places that they can build sustained success.
