Scot McCloughan to be new Redskins GM

I really like this move and hope the guy can keep his life moving up.

I am equally Glad that we're keeping Bruce (sorry Lotus). I still believe that Bruce has brought class & professionalism to our team.

Now Scott will help solidify our talent evaluations.

I graded a B. I am consciously optimistic, but his past stints ending with trouble have me concerned.

I really don't think the drinking will be an issue anymore. Sounds like he's cleaned that part of his life up. He's a grown man and if he wants to have a beer then so be it. Just keep it under control.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ahmad Brooks (Former Redskin Perry Brooks son) a FA and a player McCloughan brought to SF from Cincy is one of our 1st FA signings when the period starts. Ahmad is in his early 30's (maybe a year or 2 contract) he has plenty of gas left in the tank.

I'm already penciling in two pre season wins.

Lol

Shouldn't McCloughan pick the DC, now?

We all hope so, but as a grown man he's had to leave two good jobs because he drank vodka like the rest of drink water

No reason to hate on him because he isnt a proper bourbon man.

The drinking is definitely a concern. Hopefully he's got it under control now and understands you only get so many chances. As for having a beer here and there, I'm not going to pretend to be a 12 step expert or understand his situation.

I've heard of alcoholics that can manage it and have a drink now and then, while some have to give it up completely. It's like any other addiction, everyone has to find their own way.

Maybe that is why the local ABC store is all out of Vodka ? I too hope has can control his drinking .... for his quality of life . As far as his job here , he can drink Vodka , JD and Rum every day if he does his job like he did in Seattle and SF .
