Julie Donaldson tells @JunksRadio her first phone call about the Redskins job was with Terry Bateman, the newly re-hired Chief Marketing Officer. Says she was reluctant at first -- wasn't sure it was the right fit -- so it took some convincing. https://app.radio.com/listen-live-1067-the-fan
Donaldson on the new name: "That's not the high priority to me. What is, is what is it going to represent behind that name? Especially as I take on this role. And those are the conversations I had..."
"Whatever they pick, I'll get behind, as long as I also know that that brand and that name stands for something, so fans have something to get proud in going forward, and it's not just a name, but it's more than that."
She adds: "I wish I could tell you and drop the scoop, but I don't know what they're gonna do. I just know that they're having constant meetings to make sure they get it right."
Asked if all analyst roles are up for grabs, Donaldson said, "Yeah. It's my decision to make this work, and to make it work for what the fans are gonna want, for what the vision is of Dan Snyder..."
"(Snyder) was very clear with me. He said, 'Look. We have to change the way that we've been doing it. We have to rethink the way that we've always been doing it.' And you know, it's been done the same way for 100 years..."
"He goes, 'So I really want you to push the envelope on it.' He's like, 'I'm backing you to go as far as you can. If it doesn't work, OK. We'll readjust.'"
