Shany Jr. has nothing to do with how woefully ill-equipped RG III was prepared to return, nor can he help the injuries to their WR corp and TE's.
His offensive schemes got them to the playoffs last year. Schemes built around a healthy, running threat of a QB that he never got that back.

Everyone is looking to find the closest tree to hang the warmest body from, and the sad reality is that the logical alternatives are no better.

Snyder, in typical fashion, has exacerbated an already bad situation by injecting himself into the middle of a coach/player relationship and siding with the player, rather than to GTFO and let the coaches do their jobs to work through the issue. And sometimes, coaches just have enough of a meddling twerp, so they just smile and walk away.

Just ask Norv Turner, Joe Gibbs, Marty Schottenheimer, Steve Spurrier, and Jim Zorn. They all have the same story.

oh, absolutely dan snyder is the driving force behind how bad things are. but, sadly, we can't fire the owner.
norv turner-really, really good OC. really bad head coach. joe gibbs, hall of famer, but i think he'd been gone too long, and hadn't kept up with all the changes in football since he'd left-and then there's the curse of the owner. marty-snyder fired him only because he was bedazzled by spurrier, who is a joke and i can't stand. jim zorn was in so far over his head it was beyond ridiculous. his re-calling of the trick play was without a doubt my lowest ever moment as a fan.
now i only need him to hire nick saban. that would be the icing on the cake.
