Coaching and Front Office Changes

Besides Bruce Allen’s terrible tenure as our GM, which is now over - Snyder has had his fingers in the management and mismanagement of this team. By having no one in the team structure that will do Snyder’s bidding, he is being locked out of a lot of the football decisions.

This is the biggest strategic change with the Redskins. No built-in sycophant and no Snyder being part of tactical football decisions. The fact that many of these people were brought over from Carolina is not nearly as important that Snyder is out of the small stuff as many of us hoped!

I imagine my opinion will be unpopular, but I think locking Snyder out is the absolute worst thing Rivera can do.

Right now, Rivera clearly has carte blanche with Snyder, and holds the cards. If he turns around and locks Snyder out, in a few years, regardless of how the team is doing, Dan will get that itch to interfere. IF he has not been involved to that point then he will find back channels to get his point across. And our cycle will reset.

I want Snyder to have an open line with Rivera, and the ability to ask questions, give input and learn to respect how coaches make decisions. Further if he has something or someone he firmly believes should be played, drafted, hired I want Rivera to hear Snyder and work through to the best solution.

I know some owners do best up in the box and never heard, but I don't think that will ever be DS's style so we need Rivera to mentor and coach our owner as well as our team.

Unpopular is an understatement. Lol. Why do you think Snyder is not at least briefed on these moves though?

Right now, I assume he is. My comment was directed against the thought of locking Snyder out of the discussions as was mentioned in the post I quoted. I actually don't think my opinion should be unpopular, because we all know Snyder is the owner and will be for the next 30 years, so it is in our interest to want Rivera to teach him how to be a good owner and what boundaries are appropriate. Ie Yes you can give me your thoughts on draft prospects, no you can not pick the player on draft day. If Rivera and Snyder don't keep open lines of communication and/or Snyder doesn't learn the appropriate boundaries, then regardless how succeasful Rivera is, Snyder will fall into dysfunction after Rivera leaves.

Snyder isn’t going to be locked out. I’m sure Rivera will keep him in the loop and to get his “opinion” on issues. My point is that there are no longer sycophants built into the management structure who allowed Snyder to influence football decisions. The Cerrato/Allen VP/GM is now gone. That’s the price Snyder had to pay to get Rivera.
