If You Ran the Redskins...

If I was Dan Snyder...

1. Hire Tom Modrak as GM and cede all authority to him.

Our last 49 draft picks have yielded a total of two ProBowlers (Cooley and the late Sean Taylor). We need a top down change in culture so if I was Snyder--I fire myself and hand the keys to a football man like Modrak. Let him decide if his direct reports --Cerrato, Zorn, Scott Campbell-- should stay or go.

2. Lower my profile except when it comes to community/charity events.

3. Meet with Modrak 4 years to the date you hire him and determine if he deserves an extension or not. If so, great; if not, find a new GM and repeat 1-4...

How about Bobby DePaul (Bears) started with Redskins a few years back.

I wouldn't mind him. In fact, I am almost less concerned about the actual person who would be GM--provided it wasn't some outlandish hire.

I am more an advocate of changing the front office business model that Snyder has. I mean we have changed coaches, schemes, players, stadiums, uniforms, and ticket prices over the past 15 years. I think the time has come for a change in the business model...
