Don’t care. Being well versed in Dan Snyder bullshit ownership style, nothing fucking matters until changes are made and he commits himself to stay the fuck out of football decisions.

I read something I thought was thought-provoking, can't remember where I first heard it but it went along the lines of "in order for teams to win titles, every level of the organization, from ownership all the way down, has to have a unified mentality to do whatever it takes to win. A desperation of sorts." TL;DR: everybody has to be on the same page.

When I hear about Doug Williams' comments from the Landon Collins signing about how he doesn't factor scheme fit into it, my first thought was "you just gave a player 84 million without determining if he'd be a good fit?"

It really speaks to the lack of organizational cohesion from the guys building the roster to the coaches managing the roster. If our next FO/coaching staff is ever going to have a chance there needs to be complete unity about the direction of the organization. This includes Dan. I'm not sure if he'll ever agree to be the hands-off owner we all want, but if he decides to interfere every year we are doomed until he dies or sells the team.

Redskins ranked #9 out of 9 possible head coaching opportunities this offseason.

We taking more L's than Nick Canon right now.

I thought it was a good read, the gist of it is "unless Dan Snyder does some serious soul-searching we are not going to attract any quality candidates."

LOL!

Pros: the checks clear

As a landlord when I ever I consider section 8 that is the only pro I come up with.

We are 20 years into Dan Snyder reign and he still doesn't understand the basics of business structure or developing a culture. Perception is reality at this point.

9 of 9? I’m surprised we rank that well.

I'm a huge sucker for this team, and I'm really looking forward to the news right after the game.

Re: Why moving on from Bruce Allen this year is pivotal to the future of the franchise.

Per Albert Breers Twitter account (sorry, i cant link as twitter is blocked from my work computer):

Quote:
More Redskins... Source: Owner Dan Snyder assembled a small circle of football people earlier in the season to help him with Washington's search process. None of those people work for the team.

So he hasn't done it alone, but those with the team aren't involved.
In my opinion, this is very positive news. As fans, we have been kept in the dark, but, if this report is true, it means that Snyder decided months ago that Bruce will not be part of the plan moving forward. Otherwise, Bruce would have been involved in these discussions. The fact that he's not part of the search means he's almost certainly a goner.

Man, i haven't been this excited about an offseason since Vinny was fired!

Oh wait.... we got Bruce after that. NVM, we're screwed no matter what.

Per reports, Ron Rivera and Marvin Lewis are the leading candidates for the Redskins HC job

Feel like these are the two leading candidates if Bruce stays.

If we go with either of them I am gonna be less than optimistic about our future.

Forget the HC, Bruce needs to go first. Hopefully he goes Monday

Re: Why moving on from Bruce Allen this year is pivotal to the future of the franchise.

Who in their right mind would be excited for Marvin Lewis as HC? That’s a guy Bill Callahan would probably endorse as his replacement. Marvin Lewis would probably name AP the starter at RB when hired. I see Lewis as a guy who probably would get the Skins ready to compete on Sunday, but not a guy who is aggressive in the pursuit of winning. He gonna want it won his way.

At least Rivera has been unafraid to let guys on the field make plays to win games. He’s dealt with some strong personalities and got them to perform lights out.

Between those two...it’s not fucking close, Ron Rivera all day over Lewis.

Couldn’t agree more. What did Lewis ever do besides average? If that’s the case then keep Callahan, Lewis is a decent DC that’s it.

What was average about the 2000 Ravens defense?
