Re: More dislike of Snyder: John Kent Cooke
Wow, this has turned into a romancing of the Norvelle era! Never thought I'd see that, things are really bad here when people wish Norv came back.

Re: More dislike of Snyder: John Kent Cooke
Eventually we have to stick with a coach. The coach should show competency of course, but if every coach got canned for 2 bad years we wouldn't have your jimmy johnsons, etc of the nfl world

Re: More dislike of Snyder: John Kent Cooke
I worked with John Kent Cooke on the 1988 Superbowl victory parade. The man knows how to run a football team. Snyder does NOT!

Re: More dislike of Snyder: John Kent Cooke
There are many ways you can run an organization. You can be cutthroat and vicious, using duplicity to get to the top and then the leverage of your title to force people to do your bidding. Anyone who crosses you must be dealt with quickly and without mercy. And because your authority is derived from your position, you must never admit you were wrong, because that shows weakness.
Another way to run an organization is to lead by example, be humble, be self-aware and willing to admit when you've made a mistake. You can make a commitment to quality that ensures that even when things are going well, you're going to be asking "what could we do better" and when things are going poorly, you don't just eject people, you focus on processes that have failed. In short, others follow you not out of fear of your title, but out of respect for your character. You can apply these archetypes to any number of organizations: clubs, businesses, governments, even sports franchises. In general I've seen sporadic evidence of the first model working in various industries. However, if you look at the market leaders in almost any industry, I would be surprised if that organization didn't look a lot more like the second group than the first.

He also drafted westbrook at #3 overall & we passed on Sapp et al. I know it's easy to knock picks that didn't pan out, fact is all teams have them, but at the time I just questioned his wanting a wr so bad when the defense was in such need & there were several top d prospects. Plus, I always hated that a cowboy was our HC & he brought in cowboy players. It was a dark era for me as a skins fan, one in which I have to think too hard to recall bright spots & favorite players. |

BTW... not sure if you heard John Cooke on the radio yesterday but as I listened, there is no doubt that we'd be in much better shape than we are today. |
