Dan Snyder losing respectability?

[Skinny Tee]

Simply put, Daniel Snyder is the Franchise Terminator


He's running the Skins like Skynet and were not going to be safe until someone like John Conner unseats him. Somebody safe us!

It seems the only candidate left is the one that is going to be selected by default.

This is just Fasseltastic!

I'm not sure he's losing respect, but I do believe he clearly miscalculated the coaching situation. i'm not one to criticize Snyder, mostly because I think he listened to what his coaches told him they needed (ie- why i so hard on the coaches). At this point, we erred in signing coordinators ahead of the head coach, and I think Snyder knows it. live and learn- I think he'll get it right soon. not a fan of Vinny- at all.

Dan is a Redskin Fan FIRST and a business man second.Yes it seems as though he has f@#ked up but if any of us had the money and power that dan has we would be doing the same thing.Dan just wants whats best for the redskin family.Yes he should have kept greg williams but we dont know what went on behind closed doors,so thats that. Now keeping it REAL,who ever dan chooses is going to work with the talent we have and it wont be no slouch whom ever he is and you can bank on that shit,fo REAL!We dont need cower,mooch,greg,al,jimmy,spags,fassels or whoever!What we need is a young coach with vision on how this game needs to be played period,some one like that boy in pittsburg or jeff fisher,get the picture.Its going to take some time beleive that shit.My wife and myself went to our first redskin game at fedex and we had a BLAST!!!! so we now take a week of vacation to see a redskin game at home,feel me?Dan is not STUPID and dont forget that. Peace out and HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!!

Looks like a highly devalued position. Hard to spin it any other way."]

Snyder's ill repute is starting to preceed him now. Coaches are now not even dumb enough to jeopardize their advancement for the windfall of riches that awaits them here as HC.

If Jim Fassel doesn't scream devalued position I don't know what does.

I can tell that you're new to the board and also to phonetics.

I respectfully regret to tell you that I did not, at anypoint during your tirade, feel you or understand you for that matter.

It seems as if the only thing we have in common is our fondness for the Redskins, here is to keeping it that way.

Just a whisper redduke, Mike Tomlin might take exception to being refered to as "BOY".

Sorry, that just didn't make sense getting these assistants before getting the HC. I mean who ever has heard of that before? Usually the HC brings in his own guys so they are on the same page and have good chemistry together. With the way it is you are forcing the HC to adapt to total strangers that might have a different vision than he does, and this might cause some future discord down the line. Snyder screwed up bigtime when he canned Marty. Marty could have gotten us to the next level. I do not think the Skins are going to get to the next level for some time now until a GM is in place and/or Snyder gets cured of his control freak problem.

i do feel like he will have to bring in someone with ties to the organization to re-establish trust.

In response to the titular question of this thread: Has Dan Snyder ever held any measurable amount of respect around the NFL? He's got a fat wallet, but not a lot else. I think that this offseason has been hugely negative for the perception of the Washington Redskins around the league. If this team doesn't start conducting business in a manner that is widely respected, they will find it harder to attract quality free agents and coaches. We can always rely on getting the player looking for a huge pay day, but that seldom benefits the team in the long run. I've honestly had this feeling lately that one day we'll be watching the draft and our first round pick will refuse to play for the 'Skins ala Eli Manning/John Elway. When/If that happens, we know we've hit rock bottom in the respect dept.

Wouldn't it be a bitch if Fassel and Meeks pulled out of the running as well? What would Danny boy do then?

Danny would have to eat a huge slice of humble pie and finally come to the conclusion that he would have to promote from within. Something he should have taken in consideration when Gibbs resigned.

...That or turn the lights out at Redskin Park.
