Let's talk about the front office situation

Yeah, this seems like a step backwards to me. And it was a bit alarming to me that he said they would be changing the profile of the players they are looking for, and oh yeah a new coach might have some ideas too.

Also, it was strange that he lashed back at Shanahan, I'm not convinced that it was shanahan leaking the story, isnt it just as likely that the front office leaked these rumors as a good reason to opt out of his last year?

I didn't get that vibe at all.

It's pretty obvious where the leaks were coming from.

Yeah, I suppose if that was the case MS would at least have implied it.

It's funny that the two Jason's have the most to say about the situation, They seem to also have the most animosity towards the administration. No matter what Snyder would have done they would have spun it negative.

I'm not crazy about the front office structure. I was hoping Bruce was going to announce that either we were promoting someone (Brown/Campbell) within in the organization to GM or that we were going to hire a true GM.

As a fan all I can do is hope that Bruce knows what he's talking about and will make the right decisions.

I just hope that Bruce Allen calling all the shots and having final say doesn't really mean Dan Snyder calling the shots and having final say with Bruce "oking" them.

The front office has been a big liability ever since Snyder took over. I think it's a little naive to not at least look at our setup with a critical eye and wonder if we're doing the right thing. The one thing Snyder hasn't tried yet is having a true GM run the show. Personnel is not Allen's strength. If the plan is for Campbell to run the show draft wise and for Brown to run the show regarding pro personnel, and for Allen to more or less rubber stamp their decisions, that could possibly work.

I don't think they're done with the front office revamp. I've heard multiple times they want to add Doug Williams, but I think it may be more likely they're looking to add someone currently on a playoff team so they're waiting

When Vinny was in charge it was also said then that he didn't listen to Campbell and Brown

They should have given Brown the title of General Manager because I suspect a few teams will come calling with that offer this offseason

Many Redskins fans are writing off Bruce Allen like he is not a legit executive. His strength is that he is a strong executive and will run the franchise like a business. He will rely on his team to help him make good decisions. Don't be surprised to see AJ Smith and Scott Campbell representing for us at the draft. I hope that we add someone for the 49ers front office staff.

I don't think anyone denies he's not a strong executive, but personnel isn't his thing.

Add Doug Williams? In what role?

True.

That is a very good point. Perhaps they don't want to stand in his way if he is offered the opportunity to run a team.

Bruce doesn't seem like the kind of guy who would take a job he wasn't very suited for. Especially for this org which he seems to cherish. Leads me to think he wont be doing much personnel work directly but more leading on it.
