Potential GM/HC/Coaches Thread

Interesting development...

Washington hired Eugene Shen as its senior vice president of football strategy to oversee all analytics and software development for football operations; he will start Nov. 6 and report to Coach Ron Rivera.

The hire, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter, was a months-long process that began during training camp, shortly after Harris finalized his $6.05 billion purchase of the Commanders. The final decision, that person said, was discussed and reviewed across football operations, business operations and ownership, and all were aligned.

Shen’s work will span multiple departments, including coaching, personnel and football administration, to collaborate on all strategies for the football operation.

“Bringing Eugene’s level of expertise to lead our analytics and software development enables us to build on our data capabilities to help inform decision-making,” Coach Ron Rivera said in a written statement from the team. “Eugene brings a great deal of practical NFL experience, and we look forward to bringing him into our conversations about the vision of our team going forward.”

I wonder who wrote Rivera's statement for him? ;)

Sweat trade suggests to me Shen's influence. Maybe he's lined up as the next GM, or he's been recommended by the next GM?

Who the heck is CJ Golson?? With this type of news, I would look to Keim only.

You're at like a 7 right now, you need to be at a 3 or so.

Why are you getting excited anyways? Ron stays, Ron goes, we're not winning a title this year which should always be the goal. I'm just passing it on so we can do what we do best on this site, which is discuss the sad state of our team.

Interesting.

Not sure I agree with EB deserving it but tbh I don't care that much, this is a wasted season anyways.

Oh God. EB in charge is frightening.

Only if Kerrigan is promoted to DC lol ... smh EB can't even run the ball 🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

There was a lot mixed information from both sides regarding Trent's scalp tumor. The Redskins doctors were willing to share his medical records to show there was no wrong doing on their part, Trent saying no to showing the records, I understand HIPPA regulations. The fact that if you have cancer with Trent saying he feared for his life, yet he didn't receive any radiation or chemo makes me suspicious. If he had the type of cancer he had and needed treatment he would have been out at least 2 years not an off-season. The fact that Kyle had a hardon for Trent and hated Snyder, I'm sure he coached him on how to get out of Washington. They fired the medical staff, was given a chance at a fresh start and he wanted none of it and got screwed on the trade.

Radiation and chemo aren't the only forms of treatment for cancer.

My dad had a small hole in the back of his head and it was skin cancer - he had one operation where they blasted layers and layers of skin until the small 1/4" hole turned into a 2" hole and the cancer was eradicated.

My point is we had no idea what it was - all we knew is it could've potentially been a problem. Obviously Trent didn't feel wanted or appreciated so he wanted out. I wish we could've kept him but he was the last in a long line of quality players to feel like this team fucked them. It is what it is.

Sometimes a guy can shine in a different position. Maybe EB was born to be a HC (we know he wasn't born to be a playcaller). If/when Rivera is fired, let EB take the reins. And let the new GM make the call for next season.

A very long list of players would like a word lol.

Agreed. Lots of OTs out there historically that would be better than Trent, and I think highly of Trent while saying this.

Who cares what the fans think, we need a GM that's going to do what's right for the team and if the fans don't agree in the moment F them.

This. :thumbsup:

Quite frankly, at this point I can't see how EB can be any worse than RR, so giving him the job and clearing out the chaff in the coaching and FO ranks at this point can either help us turn the season around or help identify the offseason needs a lot sooner than week 19.

If you can throw a red beanbag or make a timeout signal you are better. You literally just need to be able to unfold your arms.

And maybe he can think of something to say to the team at half time?😁
