The team is going backwards, it is easy for anyone to see that the fan base is disappearing. I was at the game today and in my section their were about twice as many Eagles as Redskins fans. Even with the massive influx of Eagles fans, the stadium was 30% or more empty. This has happened every game this year.
So what MAY be different this year?
1. No real NFL-qualified HC candidate will come here with BA in any capacity on this team. 10 years of failure under different coaches shows that it is impossible to win with BA around. Since Washington is considered the WORST location to go to for the eight or nine teams to be looking HC’s, it’s the candidates that are in the drivers seat NOT Snyder. I believe that the best candidates will tell Snyder TO HIS FACE, that getting rid of BA and other changes will be necessary to even CONSIDER this horrible franchise.
2. Whether this season or in the future, the NFL will tell Snyder to fix this franchise’s many problems. The NFL television cameras may ignore and try to obscure the empty stadium or massive opposing team’s infiltration but it can’t do so forever. IF just one game DIDN’T have 30,000-40,000 yelling fans from the other team, the stadium might be just 30% full of REDSKINS fans. That’s impossible for the NFL to ignore. Snyder is the NFL joke and fool but if the fan support continues to deteriorate it makes the NFL look bad. Even he must worry about that although I’m sure BA is telling him the team is “damn close” to getting better. Lol.
We’ll know soon. I’m very cautiously optimistic that BA will be gone.

Let's play devil's advocate here, this is a healthy discussion.
Let's say Dan can't bring himself to get rid of Bruce. So that brings me on to your point of no real qualified NFL Head Coach comes here with Bruce still employed. What do you think the chances are that Dan / Bruce decides to hire Bill Callahan full time? They could have possibly already given Doug Williams the interview to satisfy the Rooney rule requirement?
How much can the NFL really do about Dan Snyder and our problems? Could the problems continue to plague us to the point where the NFL could boot Dan out? What would that take? A simple majority vote? And on what grounds? That Dan's continued ownership of the Redskins is affecting the league shared revenue / TV money / whatever?
