COT
• The record of the Washington Commanders (formerly the Washington Football Team, and formerly the Washington Redskins) under Dan Snyder was tel:164-220-2, a .427 winning percentage. Over 24 seasons of his ownership, the Redskins / Football Team / Commanders made the playoffs 6 times and won only 2 games (and one of those wins was in 1999, the first year he owned the team). His term as owner was a master class in futility, with perhaps the stat that best summarizes this futility as the fact that he had more team names (3) than playoff wins (2) during his time as owner.
• The previous owner, Jack Kent Cooke was the controlling owner from 1979 until his estate sold the team in 1999 with a cumulative regular-season record of 175 wins, 149 losses, and 1 tie. In the playoffs during this period, they achieved 14 wins and 5 losses – a combined .549 winning percentage which included 3 Super Bowl Championships.
• Snyder sold the Commanders in the summer of 2023. The new owner, Josh Harris, had a 4-13 record in the first season, with the team and culture he inherited from Snyder, but the team finished the regular season 12-5 and won the franchise’s first playoff game since 2005 and got them 1 win away from returning to the Super Bowl.
• The obvious lesson here is that Leadership matters. Good news – F3’s mission is about leadership. F3’s mission is “to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.” So get involved. It’s no accident that we are all expected to Q a beatdown. We are all freed to lead, so you dont have to wait to be asked to lead, if there is something you want to do, just step forward and do it. If you need some help getting started, ask one of the other pax and we’ll figure it out together.
