dan snyder is not an ok owner. right now tho i'd have to say shanahan is the one to blame, since he was given complete control. he took their one positive, the D, and ruined it. he hired his son to be the offensive coordinator-he was the best man available to run the offense? yeah, sure he was. and then the inexplicable decision to keep griffin in that playoff game last winter, which has brought us to now. so many bad choices. man, i hate being right that shanahan was the wrong pick.

dan made a move in the right direction in hiring a gm. but...he needs to let the gm BE the gm. snyder would do well to emulate robert kraft, or art rooney-or even jack kent cooke back in the day. you hire the football men to run your team, and you stay the hell out of the way. hell, his and jones actions would be like these guys buying racehorses and then training/riding them instead of hiring trainers and jocks!

There are 7 million reasons Shanny walks with if they start over now…..Snyder would make the guy coach to the determent of the team before he pays him the last year of that contract…..

Snyder should fire the son and blame everything on him. This would force the elder Shanahan's hand.

fire the son and haslett. actually, he should take all the control he gave shanny to the gm, and fire pretty much every assistant coach there. allen wasn't thrilled with getting shanahan anyway. let him run it now.

Haslett has nothing to do with how decimated this Defense is due to injury. They were just fine last year.

Shany Jr. has nothing to do with how woefully ill-equipped RG III was prepared to return, nor can he help the injuries to their WR corp and TE's.
His offensive schemes got them to the playoffs last year. Schemes built around a healthy, running threat of a QB that he never got that back.

Everyone is looking to find the closest tree to hang the warmest body from, and the sad reality is that the logical alternatives are no better.

Snyder, in typical fashion, has exacerbated an already bad situation by injecting himself into the middle of a coach/player relationship and siding with the player, rather than to GTFO and let the coaches do their jobs to work through the issue. And sometimes, coaches just have enough of a meddling twerp, so they just smile and walk away.

Just ask Norv Turner, Joe Gibbs, Marty Schottenheimer, Steve Spurrier, and Jim Zorn. They all have the same story.

oh, absolutely dan snyder is the driving force behind how bad things are. but, sadly, we can't fire the owner.
norv turner-really, really good OC. really bad head coach. joe gibbs, hall of famer, but i think he'd been gone too long, and hadn't kept up with all the changes in football since he'd left-and then there's the curse of the owner. marty-snyder fired him only because he was bedazzled by spurrier, who is a joke and i can't stand. jim zorn was in so far over his head it was beyond ridiculous. his re-calling of the trick play was without a doubt my lowest ever moment as a fan.
now i only need him to hire nick saban. that would be the icing on the cake.

Thankfully not happening, but even if he were available I would bet you'd see Romeo Crennel than anybody that would have a choice.

I don't know who in their right mind would take the job, quite frankly. The team is getting old, and they have frittered away their quality draft picks for the foreseeable future on RG III, so even if Snyder has an epiphany and decides to get his nose out of the business, the team is going to be bad for many years to come. I'd say the Snyder-era coaches #8 through #10 will collect checks, go through the motions, and get the boot when their term runs out. Either RG III gets his groove back, or it gets much worse from here.
