I think you're right that most fans are fairly fickle and will forgive a lot if the team starts winning. I won't be one of them, though. I was really happy with the team's growth the past 4 years and truly thought Snyder had changed. I was wrong.

For my money, the events of the past month and especially how the last week or so has gone down has really helped me understand why Joe must have wanted to leave. Compare the venom that's coming out of Redskins Park with the words Joe speaks on his weekly video broadcast and it's just night and day.

It sucks to have your loyalty to your team tested by something like this. Know I understand how Raiders, Knicks, and Orioles fans feel. And I don't like it.

That's pretty irrational. What makes you think Snyder hasn't changed?

Is it because he didn't feel that the title of head coach of the Redskins was something that Williams wasn't owed via birth right? Is that not learning?

Continuity is NOT something a franchise strives for, it's something that's bred out of sustained success with common personnel.

Continuity is a great thing, and an indicator of great things, but it's an impossible ideal when your head coach retires. There's no such thing as continuity when that happens, and rather than chase an unrealistic ideal, Snyder has a far more important task: choose the best candidate for the job.

I think the notion that Gregg Williams was the only right choice for the job is downright ridiculous, and that while Snyder may have treated him improperly given his service here, Snyder is neither a bad man, nor incorrect in his methodology for going a different route.

The team grew over the last 4 seasons, and will likely continue to grow over the next 4 under someone new. I'm really not seeing why that is such a terrible thing.
