Again, who else other than Joe Gibbs has worked for Snyder that has left town without being vilified by the team?
The Redskins can't just move on from former employees, coaches, players, etc.
For some reason they feel the need to destroy them with leaks in the media.
It just goes to the 'garrison state' psychology that surrounds Redskins Park with Snyder as the top dog.
I haven't seen anything quite like this since the Nixon Administration
In all seriousness, Snyder is a lousy owner. Always has been.
Instead of coming in and hiring legit football people to run his operation so he could learn how to be an owner, he simply installed himself in the cockpit without any flying lessons and figured 'heck this plane doesn't have THAT many controls, I should be able to master this in a jiffy.'
17 years later we still have never been to a Super Bowl or an NFC Championship Game.
Meanwhile, the Giants have won two Super Bowls, the Patriots have won five, the Steelers have won two, the Ravens have won two.
What do they all have in common?
The owner and team officials above the level of the coach and GM stay out of personnel decisions.
Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner!
Bruce Allen came out and said in the press conference when he was hired that Scot was going to have control of the roster.
It appears he and Snyder backtracked on that along the way and that is why we ended up keeping Kory Lichtensteiger at center and Kedric Golston at NT way beyond the point those players were effective.
I wonder how many moves we DON'T know about that Snyder/Allen got involved in that muddled the picture of what was going on with this team behind the scenes.
