Give Daniel Snyder credit for being proactive and lining up this deal with Rivera before other teams could pounce. He got his man. Deal expected to be finalized in 3 pm eastern range, assuming no flight delays.

It was reported this morning that negotiations were taking longer than anticipated.
My guess is other teams have fired coaches and are reaching out to Rivera, giving him more leverage. I doubt money is an obstacle. Its likely more about control and the length of his contract.

What’s taking so long to make the announcement of the hiringProbably want to do it tomorrow after all of the Black Monday news are over and done with. Also, they are probably negotiating with Rivera on FO staffing and whatnot.

I'm glad if it's Rivera,but he doesn't need total control,one of the few things that work for us is that we do have a decent front office so he should just coach,and Danny should just get the f-ck out of the way...CAN YOU DO THAT DANNY???

Rivera has all the leverage in these negotiations. Dan knows that many teams want him and are at better starting points than the Redskins. Rivera may want guaranteed money and huge levels of control written into the contract. Ultimately if Snyder wants him he will have to give it.
For all the people saying “it’s the same old thing” there are several differences:
1. No Cerrato or Allen in the structure, which was how Snyder secretly wielded management on the draft, FA, etc.
2. Snyder is using an outside group of NFL guru’s for advice, versus the Cerrato/Allen toadie who just told him anything solely so THEY could stay in power. All these boot-lickers wanted was another year in power.
3. One of the advisors is rumored to be former GM himself, McLovin’. Paybacks a bitch isn’t it BA!
4. To get someone of the caliber of Rivera, I’m sure Snyder is giving up most, if not all his influence on football decisions. Rivera has leverage and he’s using it!! It is obvious to Rivera or any other major candidate, that Snyder and his lackey’s influence in the organization is what killed outstanding former HC like Gibbs and Shanahan. That’s the BIGGEST CHANGE. BA gone and no new “yes man” in his place!!
I cautiously optimistic ONCE RIVERA IS SIGNED.

There are indications Snyder has changed, but sources who have worked for him anticipate he will still be involved.
One source said Snyder's input often came through "backdoor ways," funneled through others in charge, such as Allen. It wasn't just about drafting Haskins -- the Redskins knew they had to take a quarterback. It was about making decisions on which free agents to pay and who the team would let leave.
"Critical decisions," the source said.

Like trading Kendall Fuller and a pick for Alex Smith then resign him to a mega deal even though he was still on contract?

Again, let’s see if Snyder changes. He’s always had a lackey GM to internally helping him micromanage the team. I would be extremely surprised if Rivera or any premium HC candidate would allow the past system of failure, with Snyder and his buddy GM sticking their grubby paws into team football decisions.
With 20 years of failure of this franchise model of management, Rivera is an absolute fool if he doesn’t severely restrict Snyder’s input into football decisions. Snyder fired his buddy Bruce Allen. He’s using outside NFL guru’s for advice. He’s trying to bring in an excellent HC, at the price of his involvement in the internal management of the team.
I’m cautiously optimistic that the old Redskins way for the last 20 years, will be put to bed. Let’s see!
