Re: What Would You Tell Daniel Snyder?

“the best football minds,” such as a new general manager, and "stay out of his way."

This couldn't have been said any better! This is the key to the whole situation

Re: What Would You Tell Daniel Snyder?

He needs to go back the the most basic fundamental of business - serving the customer. I agree with the "stay out of the way". When the fans become so incensed they are walking out/boycotting games, your customers are sending a very strong message. The appearance of protest signs is a serious clue, and blocking their admittance was a massive PR disaster. Time for him to get back to basics and focus on customer service - which means coming clean with his client base, and effectively communicating a specific strategy forward.

Well, The Court of Public Opinion weighed-in on Daniel Snyder this week:

Re: What Would You Tell Daniel Snyder?

If you want your car fixed, you go to a car mechanic. If you want a haircut, you go to a barber.

Point being - Daniel Snyder is a business man not a brilliant football mind. "Stay out of the way" is the best advice you could give him.

Re: What Would You Tell Daniel Snyder?

The challenge is in getting a giant-sized ego to fit into the backseat. This isn't the first time Snyder's been provided this kind of useful and constructive advice, but he can't get out of his own way. It's like the old story about the frog and the scorpion, where the scorpion, despite his assurances to the contrary, winds up stinging the frog halfway on their journey across the raging stream. "Why did you do that", says the frog, 'Now we're both going to die." The response? "Because I'm a scorpion, and that's what I do." Snyder is a scorpion, and in this case, ceding power is not what he does.

Re: What Would You Tell Daniel Snyder?

I'd tell Danny he has to win back his most loyal customers. Make the rest of what will be a miserable home season bearable to season ticket holders by waiving parking fees, lowering concession prices, etc. Eat some of your profit to win back the fans. At the same time, study the Rooney family in Pittsburgh - closely.

Re: What Would You Tell Daniel Snyder?

Sell. That's my advice to him if he cares about the team and the city. All the other advice is good but he won't take it or he would have by now. So he should get out while he can before the majority of fans like me - a fan since 1971 - stop following the team out of disgust.

Re: What Would You Tell Daniel Snyder?

Stop treating the team like a rich guy's fantasy football team. Recruit a general manager that has proven experience evaluating talent and places a higher priority on the intellect, values and character of the players with a focus on building team chemistry rather than a collection of egos who are playing for their personal stats and contract incentives.
