Allen's skill set is more on the business/contracts side of things. He's not really know for being an astute personnel guy around the league

That's what I always thought.

The timing of this (Skins on MNF) has the Snyder splash all over it.
I can hear the MNF crew talking 3/4 of the time about the Redskins.
Danny loves that.
I like Allen as VP, but he is not my top choice for GM. Being the son of George Allen does not make him a football man. I am not sure he is the exceptional and experienced talent evaluator I would want running our drafts and player acquisitions.
Getting rid of Vinny is more thatn I can ask for.
I wonder if Vinny has a job lined up with ND?

You're right, but his track record of success does.

This may indicate Shanahan being hired then, as opposed to Gruden.

This has Tony Dungy written all over it!

So who was in charge of personel in Oakland and Tampa when gruden & Allen worked together? Was there another key scout that they had in both places or was Gruden very involved in personel? I always thought Gruden was strictly a coach.

Gruden has always had a heavy say in personnel from what I understand. At least in Tampa.

I'm glad they brought someone in early.
They have an opportunity to study the players they currently have before moving on to the draft.

3 Games Left, Let players start earning roster spots for next year and figure out who can be let go.

It also alows us to be able to concentrate more on the guy coming as opposed to the guy going out. The focus can be shifted towards moving foreward.
