Washington Redskins: How Daniel Snyder found his man in Mike Shanahan

[ethat001]

This makes it all the more interesting now in comparison:

1) Zorn era: Portis defies coach and goes directly to Snyder who makes coach apologize.

2) Shanny era: Shanny benches $100 million dollar man, expensive FA Pro-Bowl QB, and releases Portis in the second season. Not a single word from Snyder.


Basically Snyder undermined Zorn's authority from year one. Zorn should've been able to put Portis in his place if he wanted to. Also seems like the players didn't respect Zorn, lost the locker-room. (Not saying Zorn would've done any better with more authority.)

Also says that Shanny has complete control.
