His face says it all.

After missing the Combine, Redskins GM Scot McCloughan has not returned to team headquarters and is not involved in free agent negotiations.

Publicly, team brass has insisted McCloughan would return to Redskins Park whenever he is finished dealing with "personal matters." Privately, it appears McCloughan is being forced out or already has been. The NFL Combine is a critical venue for both draft and free agency information gathering, and teams make some of their biggest decisions of the year during this week's legal tampering window and Thursday's official start of free agency.


McC not negotiation with FA...doesn't make sense.

I don't think that was ever the case, he never got involved with negotiations going back to when he was hired. He's the football guy, Schaeffer/Allen/Williams? are the cap guys.

Still, does anybody believe he's not getting fired? Man didn't work the combine and it looks like he's going to keep his distance in free agency. In what world is that a functioning relationship? I'm 98% sure based on that and SS's reports that he's done with us. Nobody fires the GM in the free agency though, that would just make us look bad.

Sounds like McC never had total control to begin with. So maybe we gave him too much credit all along and maybe not enough with Allen. Just a thought.

This is probably the case, also it appears Jay has more pull than we all thought. Maybe Jay is a good HC/GM type coach as well.

And Doug Williams too.

Nothing says "I got this free agency game" like that picture. Jesus h Christ what in the f8ck is wrong with this franchise?

At this point, sign cousins for whatever he wants, bc I can't take losing both this offseason.

I love your optimism, and normally I'm one of the more optimistic cats in burgundy and gold, but the truth is, this has disaster written all over it. I don't think it's coincidence that Scot McCloughan comes in and suddenly the team is winning 8 or 9 games and making the playoffs. McCloughan has been around three successful transitions of teams from poor to fantastic. He knows how to bring in the right guys and he knows the correct way to build through the draft. You also can't judge a draft after one season. It takes a few seasons to really get a good idea how good or bad that draft really was. And least we also remember that in the past, Scot McCloughan's players tend to last longer in the NFL than players drafted by any other GM, so that tells you something of the magnitude of talent McCloughan can bring to the scouting department. When he gets the axe, you're going to see it then.

We do not want Bruce Allen governing over player acquisitions.


Exactly

Bruce loves his Tampa guys. I agree, just piss poor.

Either that or he had Total control & the results weren't well received.
The article when he signed said Scott had Total control of the roster.

I think this is more for being held accountable for a lack of action on defense.

Somebody recommended all those duds last year & somebody felt we could field a decent dline with the career underachievers brought in.

Somebody felt we could have re-tread safeties fill in & we'd be OK.

Somebody went to bat to get those guys.

Somebody wasted a great opportunity with two 1,000 yard receivers to make the playoffs.
