When Ron Rivera was hire here as Head Coach, Pseudo General Manager, President,…Head of College Scouting, Director of Player Personnel, Head of Football Operations, Minority Owner, Tanya Snyders Assistant Director of Design, etc. etc, etc, - he spoke at length of a ““five-year plan” to bring the franchise back to respectability. This “five-year plan” was supposed to focus on DRASTICALLY changing the culture in D.C., and he was hell-bent on bringing in HIS guys to help change that culture.
Some took “his guys” to mean players he personally had a hand in drafting and developing, rather than have a true general manager select the players and place them under Ron’s control.
