It’s easy to say a house should be torn down - the hard part is figuring out how to rebuild, especially when very few people will want to come and help you

He cannot be that faint-hearted and hope to build a team. Time for Dan to say "Fuck it!", fire everyone, and then consult with the football minds he respects most to help him move forward.

What is going on now would not be acceptable to a determined CEO.

[quote=KI Skins Fan;1215575]From the article:

"4. Pay or Go?

Preston Smith and Jamison Crowder headline the Redskins players that face free agency this offseason. Neither had stellar campaigns in 2018, but both have shown plenty of [B]potential throughout four seasons[/B] in Washington."

The part I bolded is something that must come to an end at Redskins Park, among the media that follow the Skins, and among us fans. The very idea that a player is still showing "potential" after four years on the roster is rubbish. We desperately need to find a sense of urgency from the top down at Redskins Park.

It can never be proven, but I believe that if Jack Kent Cooke still owned this franchise that Bruce Allen and Jay Gruden would be long gone from here. Cooke didn't try to tell the GM or HC how to run the team. Nevertheless, he [U]demanded [/U]results from them or they would be fired PDQ. Cooke wanted to fire Joe Gibbs in his first year as HC when the team lost its first five games while trying to run the "Air Coryell" system with which Joe was familiar. Bobby Beathard had to fight to keep Joe Gibbs. But Gibbs had to win to stay and, he realized, that he had to change to win. So, five games in as HC, Gibbs looked at his personnel to see how he might turn things around. That is when "The Hogs" were born and John Riggins, "The Diesel", and his power running became the new focus of the offense. Then the team went 8-3 the rest of the way. OK?

Now, when has Jay Gruden ever changed one fucking thing about his sacred system? Never! Worse than that, he took on the play-calling duties himself, something at which he is entirely predictable, unimaginative, and at which he failed miserably, IMO. He was brought in to win enough to go to the playoffs and compete for championships. He hasn't done that. Why, then should he stay as HC? He shouldn't. He should't. And neither should Bruce Allen.

I think that Dan Snyder has become complacent. Perhaps he's a kinder, gentler version of his old self. Here how I imagine the "new" Dan Snyder's conversations with Jay And Bruce.

Dan: "What's that you guys are telling me? You had a lot of injuries? That's true. I don't know how you poor victims can even field a team, much less win games with such bad luck. You say you haven't been able to find a decent Left Guard for five years? My, they must be very hard to find. Well, keep trying, guys. You want to re-sign Preston Smith and Jamison Crowder? Well, if they have the kind of potential you say they do, then I encourage you to re-signed.

Here how I imagine such a meeting would go with the "old" Dan Snyder:

Hey. fuck you two with all your whining and excuse-making! I hired you to build a winning football organization. You both failed. So, you're both fired!

I think I liked the "old" Dan Snyder better.[/quote]

The "old" Dan Snyder is why nobody wants to work with the "new" one.

Re: Time to clean house 1.0.
 

[quote=DYoungJelly;1215561]Finley is speculating Gibbs is in town because Dan doesn't know what to do and is asking him for advice.

He said usually when Gibbs or somebody like that is in town there is some sort of media promotion.

I floated that same idea recently, that Snyder needs to consult with someone he trusts, someone like Gibbs

Re: Time to clean house 1.0.
 

Let’s play owner..Allen is moved out of the position or fired... who would you hire as a GM to run this team? (No coaches are let go before the new GM is hired and let him decide)

Re: Time to clean house 1.0.
 

I'd promote Schaffer to GM

Let's hope he is doing just that and that Gibbs is giving him straightforward answers to his questions.

I don't believe that. Dan Snyder has been more than fair with Bruce Allen and Jay Gruden.

So why do you think the Redskins are such an unattractive option

Re: Time to clean house 1.0.
 

Yes KI!!!!
Holy shit man, I'm so god damn tired of players under performing yet we make excuses for them.

Doctson is 106th in the league with 35 yards per game average.

I don't care what anyone says about Preston Smith, The facts are he is tied for 98th in Sacks with two cornerbacks. He never missed a game!


This team is in serious need of play makers.

Re: Time to clean house 1.0.
 

[quote=MTK;1215582]I'd promote Schaffer to GM[/quote]

This might be our only hope at this point.
All things considered, I would love Schaffer.

I believe that somebody who is very good would take the position.

If a qualified GM candidate:

1. Likes money
2. Wants to have one of the three dozen best jobs in sports
3. Writes himself a good contract
4. Insists that Bruce Allen (the master underminer of all his perceived rivals) no longer be in the organization in any capacity
5. Most importantly, is a strong personality who believes in himself and will not be swayed by [U]anyone[/U] to make poor football decisions,

then it doesn't have to be an unattractive position.

I'd add #6, ok with working for one of the worst owners in pro sports

If we don’t bring in someone from the outside, this is what I’d would do as well. But firing Bruce Allen has to happen.
