Mike Shanahan was Ready to Leave Washington after 2012 Season

While I have no clue how Snyder really is on the inside; from the outside it seems that during the last four years he did exactly what we all wanted and stayed out of it. Hard for me to blame him at this point.

I think there is plenty of blame to go around; but that article is pretty telling and I get the sense the media in general is starting to slowly turn a bit on Shannahan and his personality/attitude in general with refusal to take blame for anything.... its getting really interesting, unfortunately.

I agree with this statement, I dont think we want the owner of the Jags running this football team as we all like to have the money that Dan throws around trying to get/keeps good free agents. At this point it has to be Shannahan or Allen...... I would have to lean toward Shannahan

Everyone needs to read this. More truth in it than almost anything you'll get from post/ESPN.
Mike Shanahan's Brilliant Last Act as Redskins Coach; Making Everyone Forget He Sucked (http://httr24-7.com/blog/mike-shanahans-brilliant-last-act-as-redskins-coach-making-everyone-forget-he-sucked/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter)

Amazing there are still people out there defending Shanahan and putting all this on Snyder and RG3.

I think that there are those who will always blame Snyder for everything and will never believe anything otherwise

I think it indicative of this that, now, after not hearing his name mentioned in any significant way for the last four years, all the franchise's errors of the last four years are being laid at Snyder's feet.

Snyder is an owner. I fully expect, as the owner of a billion dollar investment, he expects to have some level of input when franchise altering events are going contemplated. Further, as an owner, I would fully expect him to take advantage of the perks that ownership brings including, but not limited to, hanging out with professional athletes.

Snyder has given Shanahan everything for which he has asked. Snyder may have had some input on the acquisition of McNabb and/or Griffin - I would expect nothing less. At the same time, l have no doubt that Shanahan had the final say on rosters and that, had Shanny not wanted McN or RGIII, they would not be on the roster.

Every comment by and report about Shanny when he came here was that he was going to have control. When it comes to coaching, Shanny's ego fills a room and then some. This is his team, he built it. He is entitled to the credit when it succeeds and, ultimately, the blame for when it fails.

Snyder has been more than patient with him. Firing Shanahan after his team has so clearly and so consistently been outclassed on the field is not meddlesome; it is good ownership.

Snyder is not the problem.

SS , ok just a question. Marty ,Joe 2.0 and Norv all ,all left and all good coachs ,what is it that you see that makes you think it's not Snyder and if it isn't then what is the reason ?

Every situation was unique. Norv was a joke who asked for and got almost everything he asked for, Marty had issues primarily with other owners on the team, and Joe Gibbs didn't leave because of any discord with Snyder

The lack of accountability is disappointing and insulting, particularly for yours truly, who has defended Mike through what I thought were dark times. As we look at the tattered remains of another season, I feel lied to. I feel like I was sold a product I didn’t get. I feel I was sold a Bill of Rights about respect and culture and accountability, but that the head coach couldn’t be bothered to follow those ideas.

Pretty much sums up my feelings.

This. I guess it's Cooke's fault.. Amazing how Synder can get a pass for making the Redskins a complete joke for 20+ years..

I don't think Snyder is blameless but he certainly gave Shanahan almost anything he wanted these last 4 years and it still didn't work.

I guess that begs the question: How much influence do other owners have on the team?
