I think Snyder is a guy who is doing things over and over again while expecting different results, even though he's done it so many times before and things haven't turned out any different. eg ) This guy didn't win, i'll fire him and the next coach will win. This coach didn't win, i'll fire him and start over. I'll fire the whole staff and start over....etc...etc...

Snyder gave Shanahan everything he desired. Shanahan then put up a 24-40 record over four years, during which time Snyder patiently waited for a winner to appear. Shanahan also gave Snyder a big "F*($ You" by pointlessly benching RGIII. But Snyder is in the wrong and is just repeating past mistakes by firing Shanahan? I don't get that. Many NFL owners would have fired Shanahan given what Shanahan did and didn't do.
