Apparently, Snyder can't be controlled - no matter what. Nevertheless, the illogical part of my mind still clings to faint hope that if Smithers, Snyder's co-conspirator, is fired and a HC/GM with contractual full authority is hired, then we have a puncher's chance of knocking out the many problems we have now.

The logical part of my brain says "Nah, we're screwed as long as Snyder owns the team".

That's always been the rumor but I don't think it's ever been confirmed
