2015 Free Agents

He better plan on a quick (2 or 3 year) turnaround, because McC will not have a job if it takes 4 or 5 years. If they spend wisely, and draft wisely, the Redskins can be good in 2 years.
who was the last personnel guy that Snyder only gave 2-3 years. Sometimes I don't get how perception outweighs reality.

Bruce Allen

Bruce Allen

Bruce Allen has been here 5 years and he has been involved with personnel in all of them.

The real question is if McC can make it 5 years. He didn't in previous stops.

???? Pretty sure Allen still is involved and has had more than 4 years with the team.

Shanahan was in charge of personnel moves

Allen has been demoted from making any more disastrous personnel moves

He still wasn't fired or outright released. He was not removed from salary cap issues as far as we know. How long did he give Shanahan? How long was VC involved, and Gibbs before that? Part of the reason fans misery has gone on so long is because after his first few years of quick firings, he has tended to let people stay one year to long.

But whatever, all this is moot if Scot McC starts effectively bringing talent in through the draft or FA.

who was the last personnel guy that Snyder only gave 2-3 years. Sometimes I don't get how perception outweighs reality.Snyder gave full control to Schottenheimer. Took it back after one year. Gave full control to Cerratto in 2008. Gave it to Shanny after two years (justifiably, still 2-3 years). Gave Allen control after firing Shanny. Now giving it to McCloughan after one year.

All this is not counting Snyder being a habitual meddler. But Danny Boy has gone through head personnel guys nearly as fast as he has gone through head coaches.

Bruce was involved with personnel while Shanahan was here. Although it was announced that Shanahan did personnel alone (just as it was announced with McC), that proved to be untrue.

The team announcing that Allen is not involved with personnel and Allen actually not being involved with personnel have proved to be two different things.

edit: I apologize for the double post. I had a strange browser fart.

Despite all the arguments against expensive FA signings at this time, I don't think FS can wait. We are just way too bad on the back end of the defense. It's absolutely not NFL quality. So, I'd like to see the Skins make a run at signing Devin McCourty.

Since I'm greedy, I'd like to see the Skins try to sign Brian Bulaga, as well.

Signing those two players would help to set up a "need-free" draft where trading down would be more palatable to me and probably more productive for the Skins.
