"It's a painful memory, but it merely confirms what Commanders fans already knew. Snyder was an incompetent control freak who had absolutely no idea what he was doing. He dragged one of the league's most storied franchises into the proverbial abyss over his two-decade spell as owner. Nobody wanted to touch the organization, and accusations of a toxic workplace environment were the final straw for the NFL."
"Seattle's success led one respected Commanders insider to wonder what might have been. John Keim of ESPN blasted Snyder for not only removing Marty Schottenheimer from the equation, but also Schneider, who was in Washington's front office at the time and fell victim to the billionaire tyrant's ruthless sword. Dan Snyder made a TON of mistakes during his tenure. The biggest (football division): firing Marty Schottenheimer. Along with Marty, he fired a young exec: John Schneider. He's done all right in Seattle."
The Washington Commanders are undergoing visible change under GM Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn despite a difficult second season. Fans remain hopeful about the franchise's future. Dan Snyder is no longer the team's owner, which many view as a silver lining. Seattle's surge to the NFC Championship and Super Bowl resulted from effective roster construction by GM John Schneider and coaching by Mike Macdonald. John Keim criticized Snyder for firing Marty Schottenheimer and John Schneider, citing Schneider's later success in Seattle. Snyder's controlling behavior, mismanagement, and toxic-workplace accusations reportedly damaged the franchise over his two decades as owner.
