Come on now, do you believe everything you read? Practically every article written on him in recent times has tried to say the same thing. Can you say hype and propaganda? He wants to win, well that is what he is supposed to do, but to me he is way more businessman than fan. From what I have observed there are two ways to generate tons of revenue in the NFL, the first is to actually invest in your team in a rather intelligent way and build a team over a few years, and continually build on that even once you have a winner, or you can try the "chaos" model where you just keep everything in total chaos with the signing of high priced free agents, always changing coaches, etc with the win now attitude, keeping the fans hooked that the next regime will bring home the Lombardi. Snyder, Jones, and Al Davis have chosen the latter and have yet to produce a consistent winner. We will see if Shanny and Allen can do the job, but thus far they are fitting into the win now "Chaos" model perfectly. I bet in reality Snyder isn't all that concerned about getting a Lombardi as he is of raising the revenue stream and he can do that easier with the "Chaos" model.
