Scot McCloughan to be new Redskins GM

[redskinsfan1980]

I couldn't be more happier with this move. Snyder has tried everything but hire a competent GM. He's hired HoF and a future HoF coach. He brought in big name free agents. He's tried hiring no name head coaches. This man has tried everything. Finally, I think he got it right. Scot McCloughan is one of the best talent evaluators and roster builders in football. If we can control his drinking problem he can do some great things. In my opinion, this is just what this organization needed.

Good move but until we improve I won't get to excited

So, where does this leave AJ Smith? Cooling his heels on the West Coast?

I am okay with that, but am just curious on the significance.

[SmootSmack]

AJ's role may not change at all at best. Very possible he's gone completely.

This move is just what the doctor ordered.....McCloughlin will be the best GM we have had since Bobby Beathard.....

[Bangee7]

I really like this move and hope the guy can keep his life moving up.

I am equally Glad that we're keeping Bruce (sorry Lotus). I still believe that Bruce has brought class & professionalism to our team.

Now Scott will help solidify our talent evaluations.

I graded a B. I am consciously optimistic, but his past stints ending with trouble have me concerned.

I really don't think the drinking will be an issue anymore. Sounds like he's cleaned that part of his life up. He's a grown man and if he wants to have a beer then so be it. Just keep it under control.

[SFREDSKIN]

I wouldn't be surprised if Ahmad Brooks (Former Redskin Perry Brooks son) a FA and a player McCloughan brought to SF from Cincy is one of our 1st FA signings when the period starts. Ahmad is in his early 30's (maybe a year or 2 contract) he has plenty of gas left in the tank.

Shouldn't McCloughan pick the DC, now?

We all hope so, but as a grown man he's had to leave two good jobs because he drank vodka like the rest of drink water

No reason to hate on him because he isnt a proper bourbon man.

[MTK]

The drinking is definitely a concern. Hopefully he's got it under control now and understands you only get so many chances. As for having a beer here and there, I'm not going to pretend to be a 12 step expert or understand his situation.

I've heard of alcoholics that can manage it and have a drink now and then, while some have to give it up completely. It's like any other addiction, everyone has to find their own way.

Maybe that is why the local ABC store is all out of Vodka ? I too hope has can control his drinking .... for his quality of life . As far as his job here , he can drink Vodka , JD and Rum every day if he does his job like he did in Seattle and SF .
