Snyder is…what Sheehan has said…he is a jock sniffer.

How much of that $6B is going towards paying off his debts? Ultimately I think that's why he sold, he'd probably be bankrupt before he got to hand it down to his kids. Sure he'll have a lot in the bank when the dust settle, but his rep is shot and he probably won't see much success after this.

I feel kinda lukewarm to not really caring. This entire thing is so anti climatic. I just don't care- sadly.

Come on man. Last year at this time this was a pipe dream. It was our only way out. Only way real coaches and gm’s and free agents would ever want to come here. Now it is reality. I feel blessed.

It ain’t anti climatic for me … he is on his way out, gone,finished,see ya,don’t let the door..,nah.. nah Goodbye!, We now can only hope the New owners live up to our expectations..😳.. which they won’t😀! Winning is the ONLY thing that will bring this team ( whatever the name may be..) back to respectability..
I would not fire Ron or make any changes in staff .. these guys stayed in the trenches and did as good as they could while working for the WORST owner maybe of all time !! Let’s see them under hopefully light years better ownership ..

Things that need to happen .. New stadium,Get our fans in the seats( winning does that) .. find out if we have QB because without that nothing matters .. all the talk about name change etc is not important at all to me .. unless there is some name that was never brought up in the last search ( I never liked any of them ) .. and rest assured if the name had not been changed from Redskins .. this new owner team would do it now !
If Snyder leaving doesn’t get a fan fired up then I’m not sure what will… maybe winning??

For me the first thing is getting rid of every single thing Dan Snyder. That means Jason Wright, Ron, Jack, Mayhew, Doug, Marty Hurney, Eric B, the entire marketing staff, outside marketing staff that worked w/ the team on the rebrand, Commanders, uniforms, the janitorial staff. It needs to be a total house cleaning. Just like when Dan took over, he fired everyone. That exact same thing needs to happen this time around. I do think at the end of the season Eric B should get a shot at the head job- meaning give him an interview.

I really don't care to see Majic Johnson being pushed out in front of us like he is going to be making football decisions. We all know he's just a prop w/ a very small piece of the team. We've seen enough of that shit w/ Doug.

Sorry, but no. The first order of business should be clean out that front office.

Bruce Allen was bad. Jason Wright was not better. Ron and company will have their lame duck season only because of the timing. He has been very candid about feeling like he will not be retained past the 2023 season. And he shouldn't be. He has not done enough to save/keep his job if you look at strictly wins and losses. 22-27 in three seasons here. 12 years as a HC and he's only had double digit wins three times.

He was the "best of the worst" candidate following Gruden's dismissal and I think he did as good as a job as anyone else who has had to work under Snyder. That being said unless somehow he wins the NFC east this year I can't see him being retained in 24'.

Burn this shit Down!

Can’t leave traces of Snyder’s cancer behind.

Yes! I used to think changing the name again would just be another embarrassment and hassle. Now I want all the stench of Snyder removed. “Commanders” will be that stinky dingleberry that got stuck in your shorts when you were 6 — flush it ALL down!

I think the business side you turn over as soon as possible. Harris has competent sports business people running the Sixers and Devils, you take a 2nd in command at one of those places and give them a shot here, and you take people from Rales's circle and leverage his connections in the community and work towards that glorious new stadium. That should all start as soon as possible.

On the football side it's a terrible time to make a change, so you give Ron this season to show what he's got. And being a reasonable person like Harris is, you actually keep an open mind and let Ron demonstrate to you that he was right about Howell and Bienemey and all of it. And if he's not right you turn him over next year.

But if he's right and we take a leap, then you consider that maybe we've got something going here if ownership can just do what they're supposed to do and let the football people do their thing. Mediocre can't cut it after four years, and I'm sure Harris knows that. But you give him a chance to show he can be good.

Agreed. I just read Keim's article about what the new owner will need to do and he covered a little bit about Keim's work with Sixers and Devils. It's clear that Harris knows what to do, so if he wants to give Rivera and his people a chance next year, I would be fine with that. Considering what Rivera had to face throughout the first 3 years here, and the fact that he kept the team focused on football and didn't create any drama within the team despite the constant hound from media and people, it's actually impressive. The team's performance is a different story though, but it can be fixed with a better QB and hopefully Howell is that guy.
