Holy sh*t. This is the best thing to happen to the Redskins in a long time.

Best move in years, bring on the next DC.

I hope this franchise doesn't drive him to drink again. I'm not totally joking

Here we go again. F u Snyder doing just enough to keep me a fan.

See how it goes this time. Lol.

It should be noted that the GM role can mean a lot of things. We'll have to see, but I think this is pretty similar to what just happened with the Eagles in that Howie Roseman was "promoted" to let Chip Kelly have personnel decision making.

I am guessing McLoughan will report to Allen, with Allen empowering him to make draft selections, while Allen retains contract negotiation and cap management duties.

But whatever, bottom line is this is a talented personnel guy who will actually be picking the personnel. He wouldn't have taken the job otherwise.

Hopefully he will bring us the next Russell Wilson and Richard Sherman.

Time will tell, but as of now I am glad we made this move.

Best move in years, bring on the next DC.

Wonder if this bring us more towards Vic Fangio?

John Schneider gets most of the credit for building the roster in Seattle, in my opinion Scot deserves that credit instead, even if they are buddies.
