Re: Time to clean house 1.0.

By the way, reality sucks right now for Redskins fans. It's bleaker than I can ever remember it. The Alex Smith injury is a dark cloud that makes things very difficult on us. The only thing that can save the day is hitting on a rookie.

Yep, My hopes are not high at all for 2019.. It looks like a 4-12 set up if AS can't play for the first 5-8 games. Unless like u said we hit on a rookie QB that is just amazing..

Agreed. I usually go into the off-season with some hope and an idea on how the team could turn things around but this year...

It just feels like we've hit the bottom of the barrel. With no money, a lack of talent across the board, locker room drama, an insufferable front office, etc. The list goes on and on and on.

The only saving grace I can point to is our draft capital. We have ammunition to make some moves, I suppose. But even then I don't think we have enough capital to fix everything in one off-season. Or even restore hope in that time.

Unless we somehow land a generational talent who can single-handily win games for us, the future is bleak.

I think we're in store for a full tear down of the team come 2020 and in all honesty we probably need it. Even still, I don't believe it will bear any results as long as Snyder is the owner. So it's still hard to get my hopes up.

Thus the apathy has set in for me, as it has for much of the fan base. And at this point it's on the organization to GIVE me a reason to actively support them.

I would feel good about hitting on a QB and some other new blood in the draft if we had a GM or anyone capable of spotting talent. After the last 25 plus years it is difficult to wrap my head around the fact that we are just now entering the dark ages.

Re: Time to clean house 1.0.

perhaps an offseason or two of all the top coaching candidates telling us "thanks but no thanks" is exactly what Snyder needs to see to realize that his shit does indeed stink - very badly.

But what good would it do? Snyder isn't going away, so i doubt he even cares that nobody wants to work with him. If he did care, he would have made changes by now.

He does care. He's made big changes before. He used to fire coaches left and right. He was too trigger happy. Had he been more patient with the likes of Turner and Marty, we could have built something. Finally, he hired Bruce, who we thought was a "real GM" and were all ecstatic over... but now Snyder's gotten too patient. He's gone from one extreme to the other.

At this point, our own coaches want out. The reports are that the skins did not fire Kotwica. I'm wondering if he made it known he wanted out and so Gruden let him. Reports are that Tomsula and Callahan are unhappy as well.

I don't think we've hit rock bottom yet.

At some point, Snyder will clean house, just like he did post-Zorn/Cerrato. We were all hoping it would be this year, but its looking like we may have to wait for 2020.

Or Gruden surprises us and they win 13 next year and make a deep playoff run

Re: Time to clean house 1.0.

Its a lame duck staff that already knows 2019 will be their last year here , barring a miracle playoff run with our 20M QB out for half the yr... In reality we all really should hope for a 3-13 season and grab Tua in 2020. Keep the Bama thing going why not?

Re: Time to clean house 1.0.

At this point you have to see the logic in a Trust the Process type nosedive to hell in order to come out the other side.

Trade Kerrigan, trade Trent, trade anybody over the age of 27 who has some value. Stockpile picks. Start McCoy in 2019, take all the Ls, and come out guns blazing in the 2020 draft with a new coach and a new front office.

Pretty much what I would do. 2019 is a lame duck year. We're fucked at the QB position right from the start. I'd do exactly what Schneed proposes here.

Re: Time to clean house 1.0.

Well, we'll atleast be getting a new Special Teams Coordinator. Evidently we fired Ben Kotwica on the DL because Atlanta's already announced they hired him LOL.

Re: Time to clean house 1.0.

Makes you wonder what other moves we've made on the DL.

Re: Time to clean house 1.0.

Rumor being floated that Ben K wanted out and left for Atlanta. Wasn’t fired

Also hearing Bill Callahan and Tomsula are trying to get out as well.
