What Dan Snyder Really Wants!

I'll never forget that interview with the late Jack Kent Cooke at Redskins Park. Mr. Cooke, as he insisted on being called, was in the process of moving his team from RFK stadium to Ral Jon (Landover, Md) where he would build the new Fed Ex Field.

Sharon Pratt (Kelly) was DC Mayor and trying to persuade Cooke to keep the team in DC.

"It's my #@%*&/ team and I will do whatever I want with it". That's what Mister Cooke told me off camera after our interview.

Dan Snyder seems to be saying the same thing about his Redskin's team. Like most of you I don't know Dan and have never interviewed him. Met his father on the field at Fed Ex before a Dallas game once. Great man! Very Nice; But I don't know the son.

As a fan I've got an opinion and after listening to my family, friends and strangers, I'm convinced Dan is merely taking back control of the team he turned over to Joe Gibbs for the past four years.

Never again will we see one of the "old school" Head Coaches, the almost retired types come in here to dictate their working terms to Dan the Man.

I think Dan Snyder wants to stand on the sidelines at the end of games. Make draft picks and trades like Jerry Jones. He may eventually want a new stadium back in town on the site of the outdated RFK and he'll want a removable roof. Just like the one in Dallas.

Mayor Fenty, who opposed the publicly financed baseball stadium, is already in step with submitting a stadium proposal to Snyder for consideration. What's that all about?

The next Redskins coach won't have the title of President. He won't be the GM and he'll answer to his boss, Dan Snyder, just like to rest of us workers are required to do. It's his team and he'll do whatever the #@&*%$ he wants!
