Maybe Inconsistant is the new Consistant
Since Joe Gibbs retired in 1992 the word that best describes my skins is Inconsistant. Inconsistant in coaching. Inconsistant in players. And finally Inconsistant in owners.
Its 1999....... and Skins franchise is in limbo. Jack Kent Cooke has passed leaving the team to his son who can't afford the franchise. In comes Daniel Snyder, business genius, young entrepeneur with a unique outlook on things, and a die hard Skins fan. My first thought was, "Hmm thats just what we need someone to shake it up a little bit".
Its 2008.......Dan has almost a decade under his belt as owner of the Washington Redskins. In that time he has built one of the most lucrative and successful franchises in the NFL second only to our bitter rivals the Dallas Cowboys (imaine that). In fact owners are using his formula as a road map on how they should run their franchises. I gotta give it to the guy he is a damn good businessman.
On the field however the skins have been less than stellar. Once again the word that comes to mind is Inconsistant.
Heres a list of coaches since the Snyder era began:
Here's the thing Snyder is an unbelievably successful businessman and he was prior to him owning my Skins. But he failed many many times before he found the perect formula for success. Like I wrote earlier, he has been Inconsistant in the past but it seems to me that this guy is evolving as an owner much like he did as an entrepreneur. He has tried the Fantasy football free agency with both players and coaches and this year he revamped once again to having a stellar draft (something he has failed to do in the past), giving Zorn all the new tools to run his variation of the West Coast Offense. Maybe in 20 years we will look back and see that others have used Snyders approach of handling his franchise as well, maybe he has finally picked the right formula for our Skins. Either way I am still a consitant fan of an inconsistant franchise and I look forward to the future.
Maybe Inconsistant is the new Consistant!
