Mr Cooke was like the total opposite of this clown. For all his faults he didn't need a incompetent lackey who doesn't have common sense skills. He could judge whether someone could do the job or not. This is Dan's biggest weakness, his loyalty to losers like Bruce and Vinny and his inability to hire a strong GM & coach to set the tone.

I agree 100%! A strong and honest owner would have recognized their own lack of NFL knowledge and picked a NFL savvy GM from the beginning to build a winning culture 20 years ago. Instead, Snyder modeled his ownership style after his hero, Jerry Jones of the Cowboys. Unfortunately, JJ actually has some football knowledge and sense, as well as being an articulate communicator for the franchise. Snyder has neither trait. He’s always been the little brother sucking his thumb, while his big brother drives the family tractor and helps run the farm. Snyder is still considered one of the worst or THE WORST owners in the NFL.

Unfortunately, even with the gross mismanagement of this franchise, the Redskins are worth 3.3 billion, three times what he paid for it. He charges $14 for a beer, with terrible service at the stadium. My son yesterday ordered “Nacho chips” and they were the crumpled small pieces from the bottom of a bag. My daughter stood in line for over 40 minutes for food -50+ people in line for two incompetent and super slow servers.

But he’s in a Catch 22. Neither Maryland, Virginia nor DC will pay for a stadium to such a disliked billionaire, with an awful team. They also know he will not leave, so he can’t play that card. No new stadium unless he brings in a co-owner with deep pockets.

The other Catch 22 is for the HC search. News articles list the Redskins in last place of the 8-9 teams that need Head Coaches. So he can’t get the top talent and BIG SPLASH he craves in the off-season, unless he gets rid of his toadie, Bruce Allen. I think the #fireBruceAllen has been effective. It has served its purpose, directing the fan anger from Snyder. I think he’ll fire BA. But he still will have to tell the best candidates two things to get the best candidates:

1. The new HC will have personnel control, like it happens on about half the NFL teams.

2. Snyder will agree to not to meddle in team affairs.

Then he may get a premiere HC. Otherwise they’ll promote O’Connell and nothing will change.
