Redskins fire GM Scot McCloughan

Washington may indeed not hire a G.M. | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2017/05/05/washington-may-indeed-not-hire-a-g-m/)

So we gud with no GM? Find it strange...

This is odd, when we consider traditions.. Although I won't be upset with this new strategy, we have capable people in front office (beside botching the plans with Cousins). I remember not too long ago, some teams were interested in stealing Scott Campbell away from us but we blocked the requests or something. I would imagine some of GM duties will fall on Scott, and other duties will go to Doug Williams and BA. We had a good draft (based on paper) without GM, so I am willing to give front office a chance with this new strategy. Still, I'm in wait and see mode due to the Cousins situation..

When we remove the media hype about Cousins, we actually had good off season.

It's all about Smithers protecting his fief.

Unfortunately how we handled McC affects the job search. How we handled McC says "Even though you may have the title of GM, Bruce Allen is running the show in every facet"

He may be ready to spread the duties out but they used McCloughan's board, with just a few tweaks, for this past draft. So while I'm very happy with this draft, I'm not ready to pat Allen on the back for it. Most credit should go to McCloughan.

I would much rather see a personnel guy there setting the board.

Right now...the offseason is won and lost on the Cousins contract. You get it done, we've had the best offseason in a long time, and ill give BA the much deserved credit.

If you don't get it done, its mostly a failure.

So it seems that the de facto GMs are going to be Doug Williams and Jay Gruden.

If the current setup works, roll with it. Sounds like Campbell will likely be the main personnel guy anyway, basically replacing McC's main duties. He was never a true GM anyway.

Campbell sounds like he has really developed into a quality personnel guy...I rather promote him to GM than lose him to someone else.

Probably not a good idea to hire someone right now. That person would have to fit in with the culture and play along with Bruce. Not going to happen. The incumbents know the game. Scot didn't and that's why he's gone.
