DMN Blog: Daniel Snyder: 'We would have had a lot of fun playing Dallas' in playoffs

by Tim MacMahon

Redskins owner Daniel Snyder might have provided a little Valley Ranch bulletin board material in an interview with the Wall Street Journal.

He was defending ex-Skins coach Joe Gibbs when he dropped this gem: "We got close. We should have beaten Seattle two of those years and I think we would have had a lot of fun playing Dallas."

It's also interesting to read Snyder's take on why he isn't a micromanager: "I'm not in any of the coaching meetings. I never have been. I don't watch film with the coaches. I let the scouts scout and the coaches coach."

As any Hard Knocks viewer knows, Jerry Jones is a fixture in the coaches' meetings. Of course, he's also the self-appointed GM and makes it very clear that he's ultimately responsible for every single personnel decision the Cowboys make.

I don't think Snyder intended to take a shot at Jerry, though. He mentions at the end of the interview that he gets along great with Jerry during the off-season, although they're enemies in the fall.
