Former Redskins running back Larry Johnson said owner Daniel Snyder is the reason for the team's dysfunction because he doesn't know what he's doing.

Snyder has been a controversial figure in Washington and this week the Redskins ousting four executives on the business side of the organization was the latest move which angered the fan base. 
"The only thing that's dysfunctional about that organization is the money itself. Dan Snyder doesn't know anything about football," Johnson told Damon Amendolara Friday on The DA Show. "He don't know what he's doing. You could clean house a hundred more times, but the problem is at the top."

"(Snyder) thinks because he ran a business...he thinks he knows about running players, he thinks he knows about the ins-and-outs of football," Johnson said.

Johnson said Washington was the most dysfunctional organization he played for during his nine year NFL career.

"It is an impossible place to win," Johnson said of the Redskins. "Plus it is an impossible place to win when you have impossible egos. Everybody has an ego in there." 

Johnson, who played two games with Washington during the 2010 season, said Snyder's insistence on buying players is hurting the franchise.

"When I came in they had Albert Haynesworth (who) got paid $92 million and he ain't do nothing," Johnson said. "They think buying players and buying contracts is gonna get their way to the Super Bowl... this is not the business world. You're dealing with blood and flesh. And when guys don't understand that, their organizations will continuously go down the toilet."
