Would Shanny prefer Dallas instead?

Well one argument against Snyder is that at least Jones is up front about being General Manager, instead of hiding. But that's those that believe that Snyder is overly meddlesome, as opposed to just an involved business owner

I hear what you say. However, unless someone in here has intimate knowledge of what happens behind closed doors at Redskins Park, to our knowledge Snyder has had other people involved in the decision-making process like Vinny and Joe Gibbs. Jerry Jones doesn't have a GM, he is the GM, he makes all the decisions. Snyder is a meddlesome owner, more than any owner, except Jerry Jones.

There are a lot of "meddlesome" owners, but most aren't as public as Snyder. As the years go by it's increasingly difficult for me to have direct sources inside Redskins Park and I'm no longer working down there so I'm not in the locker room or at Redskins Park like I was seven or so years ago. So yeah I don't really know the absolute extent of what is going on now. I know that Scott Campbell is very, very involved in the off-season and Mo Brown during the regular season. I know that Schar and Fred Smith have input as owners (not as much the other owners).

But anyway, yeah I think Jones is more of a "one man band" than Snyder. Won't be popular for me to say, but Jones is a sharp man. Very intelligent. Not sure he should be the GM though

many would think they are both too involved, but atleast jerry jones has some actual football knowledge and background, snyder knows how to run a telecomunications company

jerry jones may be medelsome but he has had enjoyed successes as a medelsome owner, snyder has not

I would put Jones first and Snyder second (in regards of being meddlesome). I'm curious to know, was JJ this involved when Jimmy Johnson was the HC? Just curious.

While it's debatable which owner is more meddlesome in terms of personnel, I don't think it's debatable who makes a better owner. Snyder, though seemingly making some better decisions as of late w/ the Vinny for Allen swap, has time and time again shown zero class i.e. total lack of professionalism. His "office" had to crap on Williams before the guy left instead of taking the high road. One way or another Snyder has allowed this shit-show of demeaning Jason, or Zorn, or whomever w/ a million inquiries and quests to land different players or coaches.

For a middle-aged man he seems unbelievably immature in his professional business. I'm not questioning his smarts, obviously he made a fortune in the communications gig and then stepped right into a gold mine w/ devoted fans willing to fork over cash year in year out for a failure. But when it comes to the relationship side of his business I mean...yeah if I was Shanahan I'd prefer Jones and the roster he's assembled over Snyder and the roster he's assembled. Again, how many guys can put down a Snyder gig as a plus on their resume? Does Vinny work for another franchise the rest of his life? Would Williams be closer to an HC position (or already be there) had he spent those 4 years proving his abilities to a different owner?

I kind of like Snyder, so bring on the hate!

Danny needs to go in his wallet and buy out the ESPN contract for chucky.

Anybody watch JJ, Wade and JJ's son at draft when they had the warroom cam. I don't know how our draft room runs, but we don't put a display of emasculating a HC on a public web cam. WP looked like he would of rather been anywhere but in that room with JJ

Yeah, no kidding. That was both tragic (especially if you were Wade) and comic at the same time. Thank goodness Snyder has never put us through such an embarrassment.

Reminds me of when a kid has to go to work with one of their parents, and the kid just sits there sulking all day like "what the F am I doing here?"

I don't really expect an owner to be completely hands off. They're going to want to know whats going on with their team at all times. They should. Those that want DS to just go on vacation and show up for the games are not being realistic. Jack Kent Cooke let the football people do their thing, but was very demanding too. JKC wanted to win the SB every year. He told JG's that and he told the QB's that.

I've said it before, but w/ the right FO structure, we could be a top NFL franchise, in terms of winning, again. Imagine the combination of a great FO staff, a great coach, and an owner who is willing to spend a little money every now and again.

That's not a bad combination. We've got the #'s guy, people guy, GM. Now we just need the coach.

Latest from Adam Schefter (from Twitter) regarding Shanny...

Despite speculation that Mike Shanahan could wind up in Dallas, he will not. Shanahan eyeing other situations, not the Cowboys.

It seems to me that Shanny is coming to us or to Seattle. Other situations for him are drying up.

[TheSmurfs22]

If I was Shanahan and watching the shit that is going on tonight, yes, Dallas would be a more appealing option.
