An amazing story: Washington Owner Dan Snyder Ruined His Own Quarterback Star

What's amazing to me is that people like that who have achieved such lofty status, don't have a better understanding of organizational structure and the proper way of dealing with people.

I see it all the time on a much smaller scale - lousy department managers and supervisors... leaves you scratching your head wondering how idiots like that get promoted to their positions. Ass-kissing their bosses I'm sure... but what does it say about that guy who fell for the schmoozing and promoted someone who is completely ill-suited to the job??

Unfortunately for the humble workers:

Ass Kissing Foreman and Supervisors over the top too often manage to reach their level of incompetence.

I have also seen it go the opposite way, promote a top performer to a managerial job that he can not handle. A good worker is not always cutout to be a manager, especially if he was always sort of a lone wolf. Finding the right people isn't always easy.

Yep. Most failed head coaches were outstanding coordinators. And after failing as a head coach, many of them go back to being outstanding coordinators. Also, Mike Holmgren was a great head coach and a lousy GM. It can be difficult sometimes to project what someone's ceiling is.

Watching the NFL is getting to watch the Peter Principle in action, CONSTANTLY.

It's totally entertaining. Almost as much as the play on the field.
