Let's talk about the front office situation

What about A.J. Smith? He's already collecting a paycheck as a "front office executive." What exactly are hiring for again?

He's a consultant. It's not exactly a full time gig for him.

As long as Allen isn't selecting the players, I'm fine with the setup. If Brown/Campbell/AJ are making the calls on players, than I don't really care.

I imagine Allen will be involved and have final say. Otherwise, he'd be Team President and promote Brown or Campbell to GM.

Doug Williams officially added to the Redskins front office per Mark Maske on Twitter.

From all I have read, Campbell, Brown, Smith and Williams all have very good talent evaluation skills.

The question I have is whether this FO office arrangement is an unwieldy multiheaded beast or if BA is really simply conducting a well-tuned orchestra that has, to date, been held back from playing its best. If these for talent evaluators work well together to give BA top quality talent to choose from, all will be well. If it's just in-fighting and "Pick Me"ism, well - same song, different day.

Two weeks ago I was hoping he'd be our John Elway, now not so much. Haven't heard anything negative about him as a front office executive, I hope he can continue his winning ways in our FO.

Are we building a TEAM of Chiefs or Indians, we shall soon fined out.

We are Sparta!!!!!!!

I'm going to Disney Land!

So a guy in my office is convinced that hiring Williams is just cronyism at its worst and that Williams wouldn't have a shot at an NFL job but for the Skins hiring him. Is hiring Williams just a "callous and obvious attempt to appeal to past glory"? Or does Williams have a real role to fill?

Any thoughts?
