Dan Snyder: WP: Formula for Success Article

One thing I've learned about having my own business is business owners, no matter how big or small, want to be involved in what's going on. I haven't met one that's truly hands off. Snyder is no different. He's a very successful business man who made his money on his own. I think his commercialization of the Redskins does get in the way of him building a winner. He always wants the quick fix that's going to make the headlines. There's a certain pattern under his ownership....trade draft picks, sign free agents, stay in the news, sell jerseys, win the off season. What has it gotten him? A lot of losing. At best a 10 win season ... and one of those was really a team Casserly put together.

Didn't we win 10 games in 2012?

Meaning the most he's had in one year is 10 wins.

Can't argue this

Teams aren't getting rich from jerseys or merch. Gets really tiring to hear that.

No but I think he's just trying to voice his frustration out and we all are frustrated, as is Dan and everyone in the organization I'm sure.

i thought we all came to a spontaneous and unspoken agreement not to comment on this article/thread bc we all know and are over talking about how DS sucks and loves this team like Lennie loved soft furry things ..... it almost happened.

I say we sue Shannahan for breech of trust. He runined my NFL package I bought.

For as bad as the Snyder era has been, there are worse owners out there.. Remember Mike Brown was far worse than Snyder has ever been just a short time ago but Marvin Lewis came in and fixed the on field product and you don't hear about Brown anymore.

Winning cures all woes. Let us make the playoffs 3 out of 5 years, advance to a conference championship game or God forbid win a SB, he will all of the sudden be considered one of the better owners in the league.
