Daniel M. Snyder has been the owner of the Washington Redskins for 20 seasons, since NFL owners voted unanimously to approve him and his ownership group on May 25, 1999.

“Your most pressing issue is no different than mine,” he said then, addressing the team’s fans. “You want to win, we want to win, and we’re going to deliver that.”

In the seasons since, the Redskins have gone 139-180-1, with four times as many head coaches (8) as playoff wins (2).

Swipe to see a recap of each season.

1999 Season record 10-6 Playoff run in Year 1 Snyder wasted no time putting his stamp on the franchise, forcing out general manager Charley Casserly, who helped the Redskins win three Super Bowls, and replacing him with 49ers director of player personnel Vinny Cerrato. On the field, Washington went 10-6 and won the NFC East for the first time in eight years behind the league’s second-ranked scoring offense. The Redskins defeated the Lions in the wild-card round but blew a 13-0 second-half lead to the Buccaneers a week later. Snyder, who wasn’t shy about criticizing Coach Norv Turner during the regular season, gave an upbeat message after the loss. There was reason to be optimistic about the future under new ownership, or so it seemed.

Perhaps to offset the cost of a roster owed more than $100 million in salaries and bonuses, Snyder charged fans $10 to attend training camp, which he moved from Frostburg State University to Ashburn. The defense improved under first-year coordinator Ray Rhodes, but the offense sputtered. Snyder fired Turner one day after a 9-7 loss to the Giants in Week 14 dropped Washington to 7-6. Under interim coach Terry Robiskie, the Redskins finished 8-8 and out of the playoffs.

Marty Schottenheimer, who signed a four-year, $10 million deal after spending the previous season as a TV analyst and fired Vinny Cerrato three weeks later. Snyder promised to leave football decisions to the 57-year-old former head coach of the Cleveland Browns and Kansas City Chiefs, but after the Redskins started 0-5, reports emerged that Schottenheimer would probably be fired if the team did not improve significantly over the season’s final 11 games. Washington won five straight and appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated but missed the playoffs for a second straight year. Snyder fired Schottenheimer soon after, saying, “It became clear that the Redskins and Marty had irreconcilable differences.” Games over .500 under Snyder .500 +4 Cumulative W-L: 26-22 Franchise valuation (according to Forbes) $796M (NFL rank: 1) 2001 HEAD COACH Marty Schottenheimer (8-8) NFC East standings POINTS Points for Points against NFL rank NFL rank 18.9 per game 16.0 per game 13 303 total 256 total -47 28 Point differential (NFL rank 20) YARDS Offense Defense NFL rank NFL rank 186.1 155.4 121.8 116.8 10 Passing Rushing Passing Rushing 277.2 Total offense 302.9 28 Total defense Home attendance 624,374 (NFL rank: 3) 2001 QUARTERBACK Tony Banks 8-6 record as starter 2,386 Passing yards 10-10 Touchdowns - Interceptions 198 completions 53.5 370 attempts Percentage of passes completed 71.3 Passer rating 2002 Season record 7-9 ‘Gatorskins’ come to D.C. After rehiring Cerrato, Snyder took a big gamble on his next head coach, convincing Florida’s Steve Spurrier to make the jump from college to the pros. Snyder “sold me by his passion and love of the team,” the Head Ball Coach said. A five-year, $25 million deal that made him the NFL’s highest-paid coach probably didn’t hurt. With a roster featuring five former Florida quarterbacks and wide receivers in Spurrier’s first season, the “Gatorskins” went 4-1 while averaging more than 30 points in the preseason. The honeymoon lasted through Week 1, as Shane Matthews passed for 327 yards and three touchdowns in a win over the Arizona Cardinals. The Redskins surpassed 30 points in only one other game and missed the playoffs.

Despite the addition of wide receiver Laveranues Coles, the Redskins averaged only 17.9 points and, after starting the season 3-1, lost 10 of their final 12 games. “Okay, we wound up 5-11,” Spurrier said at what would be his final news conference with Washington. “Not very good! But there was some worse than us. I guess that’s one positive way to look at it: We weren’t the worst team in the league.” Spurrier, who would later say he didn’t have the power to pick his own quarterback in Washington, resigned a week later, and Snyder began his search for the Redskins’ fifth head coach since he bought the team.

While Cerrato remained Washington’s VP of football operations, Gibbs was given final say over roster decisions. “Joe Gibbs helped define what the Washington Redskins stand for — integrity, hard work, determination, winning and championships," Snyder said. "Who better to set our strategy and lead the Redskins back to championship glory?" The following month, the Redskins traded Champ Bailey and a second-round pick to Denver for running back Clinton Portis. With Larry Michael calling the action from the Redskins’ radio broadcast booth after replacing fan favorite Frank Herzog, Portis ran for a 64-yard touchdown on his first carry — a rare highlight in a 6-10 year.

Snyder added more seats to FedEx Field to increase its capacity to 91,704, the largest in the league. After falling to 5-6 with an overtime loss to the San Diego Chargers at home in Week 12, the Redskins won five straight, including the regular season finale at the Philadelphia Eagles, to clinch the NFC East title. The Redskins defeated the Buccaneers in the first round of the playoffs but lost at the Seattle Seahawks a week later. Washington hasn’t won a playoff game since.

Meanwhile, Snyder expanded his portfolio with the purchase of three radio stations. “If The Washington Post were for sale, I’d buy it right now,” he said at the time. “I don’t buy companies at their peak. I sell them at their peak.” During training camp, Mark Brunell proclaimed that “anything short of going all the way would be a disappointment,” but Portis injured his shoulder in the preseason and was limited to eight games, safety Adam Archuleta was a bust, and Gregg Williams’s defense finished 27th in the league in scoring defense.

Washington lost an emotional game to the Buffalo Bills a week later to fall to 5-7, at which point a playoff push seemed unlikely. Journeyman Todd Collins replaced an injured Campbell in the next game and led a comeback win. Washington wouldn’t lose again during the regular season and sneaked into the playoffs as a wild card. The surprising run ended with a first-round loss to the Seahawks, after which Gibbs retired for a second time.

While Zorn had no previous head coaching experience, the Redskins started 6-2 in his first season, including a Week 4 win over the Dallas Cowboys that ended with Snyder joining the postgame celebration inside the Texas Stadium locker room. The good times of Zorn leading chants of “Hip hip hooray!” wouldn’t last, as Washington lost six of eight to end the season. During the team’s late-season slide, Portis went on a local radio station and openly mocked Zorn by saying, “We got a genius for a head coach.” Games over .500 under Snyder .500 -8 Cumulative W-L: 76-84 Franchise valuation (according to Forbes) $1.54B (NFL rank: 2) 2008 HEAD COACH Jim Zorn (8-8) NFC East standings POINTS Points for Points against NFL rank NFL rank 18.5 per game 6 16.6 per game 296 total 265 total -31 28 Point differential (NFL rank 22) YARDS Offense Defense NFL rank NFL rank 4 193.4 189.1 130.9 95.4 Passing Rushing Passing Rushing 320.0 19 Total offense 288.8 Total defense Home attendance 708,835 (NFL rank: 1) 2008 QUARTERBACK Jason Campbell 8-8 record as starter 3,245 Passing yards 13-6 Touchdowns - Interceptions 315 completions 62.3 506 attempts Percentage of passes completed 84.3 Passer rating 2009 Season record 4-12 Zorn exits via Swinging Gate The Redskins made a splash in free agency by signing defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth to a seven-year deal with a maximum value of $115 million. “It’s a lot of money, but honestly, I put more pressure on myself than what the contract will do,” Haynesworth said. Pressure or not, Haynesworth was a flop. Zorn’s days were numbered after the Redskins became the first team to lose to the Detroit Lions since December 2007 in Week 3, and late in the season, Snyder fired Cerrato and hired Bruce Allen as general manager. Snyder, who was becoming increasingly unpopular with fans after a report that he had sued 125 season ticket holders asking to be released from their multiyear contracts over the past five years, called his new GM, the son of former Redskins coaching legend George Allen, a “proven winner.” Games over .500 under Snyder .500 -16 Cumulative W-L: 80-96 Franchise valuation (according to Forbes) $1.55B (NFL rank: 2) 2009 HEAD COACH Jim Zorn (12-20) NFC East standings POINTS Points for Points against NFL rank NFL rank 21.0 per game 16.6 per game 18 336 total 266 total -70 26 Point differential (NFL rank 24) YARDS Offense Defense NFL rank NFL rank 218.1 207.3 112.4 94.4 10 Passing Rushing Passing Rushing 312.5 Total offense 22 319.7 Total defense Home attendance 678,352 (NFL rank: 2) 2009 QUARTERBACK Jason Campbell 4-12 record as starter 3,618 Passing yards 20-15 Touchdowns - Interceptions 327 completions 64.5 507 attempts Percentage of passes completed 86.4 Passer rating 2010 Season record 6-10 Shanahan: Oil. McNabb: Water. With Zorn gone, Snyder turned to a coach with a proven track record by signing Mike Shanahan to a five-year contract. When the Redskins traded for aging Donovan McNabb to replace Campbell three months later, Snyder cut short a family vacation to greet his new quarterback. “It was necessary,” Snyder said of his team’s offseason changes at head coach, GM and quarterback. "We were 4-12 and going in the wrong direction. All of the changes are to get us going in the right direction. Obviously, the pedigree and the success of the people that I've brought in, you could tell we're going in the right direction." McNabb was benched for Rex Grossman in December after a three-game losing streak.

The Redskins went into the season with Grossman and John Beck as their quarterbacks. Both had their turns as the starter during a miserable year, after which Shanahan preached patience. “Like I talked to him about when I first got here, I said, ‘Dan, if you don’t plan on me coaching here five years and doing it the right way, you’re hiring the wrong guy.’ ” Shanahan said at the end of his second season. “It’s going to take some time to do it right.” A $36 million salary cap penalty (over two years) imposed on the Redskins by the NFL in March 2012, for the way the team structured contracts during the league's season without a salary cap in 2010, would prove harmful down the line.

In a somewhat surprising move that would have major repercussions in the coming years, the Redskins took Michigan State’s Kirk Cousins in the fourth round. Griffin won the starting job in training camp and led Washington to a surprising 40-32 win at the New Orleans Saints in his debut. The Redskins were 3-6 entering their bye week but won seven straight games to end the regular season, clinching the Redskins’ first division title since the first year Snyder owned the team. Griffin tore his ACL in Washington’s playoff loss to Seattle and has not been the same since.

NEVER — you can use caps.” Meanwhile, a rehabbing Griffin was determined to be the Redskins’ starter in Week 1, and he was, but he failed to re-create his magical rookie year as defenses adapted to Washington’s zone-read option. With three games remaining in the regular season, Shanahan benched Griffin in favor of Cousins. After Washington finished 3-13, Shanahan got the ax with a year remaining on his contract. “Redskins fans deserve a better result,” Snyder said in a written statement.

Gruden expressed excitement about working with Griffin, who dislocated his ankle in Week 2 and struggled to develop as a drop-back passer upon his return. Cousins and Colt McCoy both saw action as the starting quarterback in Gruden’s first season, which ended with seven losses over Washington’s final eight games. Snyder didn’t speak at an end-of-season news conference, but Allen assured fans that the Redskins were “winning off the field.” Games over .500 under Snyder .500 -40 Cumulative W-L: 108-148 Franchise valuation (according to Forbes) $2.4B (NFL rank: 3) 2014 HEAD COACH Jay Gruden (4-12) NFC East standings POINTS Points for Points against NFL rank NFL rank 27.4 per game 18.8 per game 438 total 301 total -137 26 29 Point differential (NFL rank 29) YARDS Offense Defense NFL rank NFL rank 252.9 249.4 107.6 105.7 13 Passing Rushing Passing Rushing 358.6 20 Total offense 357.0 Total defense Home attendance 623,715 (NFL rank: 5) 2014 QUARTERBACK Robert Griffin III 2-5 record as starter 1,694 Passing yards 4-6 Touchdowns - Interceptions 147 completions 68.7 214 attempts Percentage of passes completed 86.9 Passer rating 2015 Season record 9-7 McCloughan lobbies for Cousins In January, Snyder hired well-respected talent evaluator Scot McCloughan to serve as general manager. The move, which drew praise from fans and pundits alike, stripped Allen of his GM duties, though he remained team president. Before Washington’s regular season opener, McCloughan and Gruden persuaded Snyder and Allen to bench Griffin in favor of Cousins, who rewrote several single-season franchise passing records while leading the Redskins to the NFC East title. The Redskins lost their wild-card playoff game to the Green Bay Packers at FedEx Field, where capacity had dipped to less than 82,000 following the removal of seats for the third time in five years.

Made with McCloughan’s blessing, the move wasn’t met with as much skepticism as it probably would’ve been in previous years. Playing on the one-year franchise tag, Cousins put up big numbers for a second straight season. But a home loss to the New York Giants in the final game of the regular season prevented Washington from clinching a second straight playoff berth for the first time since 1992.

The next month, a few days after giving Gruden a two-year contract extension in a signal of continuity, the Redskins fired McCloughan, with an official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, attributing the decision to the GM’s ongoing problems with alcohol. On the field, Cousins struggled at times without wide receivers DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon, who departed via free agency. The Redskins ultimately couldn’t overcome 26 players being placed on injured reserve. Despite the disappointing season, Gruden became the first Redskins coach to be brought back for a fifth year under Snyder.

In May, Snyder hired Brian Lafemina from the league office to head business operations, and one of his first moves was acknowledging that the team’s season ticket waiting list no longer existed. The Redskins drew 57,013 fans for their Week 2 game against the Indianapolis Colts, the smallest crowd for a home opener in FedEx Field’s 21-year history. Washington got off to a 6-3 start before Smith broke his leg in a loss to the Houston Texans. McCoy, Mark Sanchez and Josh Johnson would all start games before another injury-marred season ended without a playoff berth. Snyder got rid of Lafemina and his key lieutenants before the year was over.
