I hope so. IMO, he must go for the organization to have a chance to improve on the field. But I don't like the idea of an in-house replacement unless the GM position is not part of the new guy's duties.

How would you guys feel if Alex Smith was moved to the front office? Like GM?

Would I want a guy with literally no FO experience whatsoever running the entire team?

No. I like Alex Smith but I also like new FO guys to work their way up the ladder before being handed the keys to the company.

Alex Smith would hands down be just another yes man for Snyder and dan would have even more influence than he already does. It would be a soul crushing choice

Agreed, but Lynch has done a pretty good job in San Fran with minimal experience.

I am holding out hope for Lou Riddick but I don't think he leaves ESPN for the skins job.

Kevin Sheehan was just talking about it recently and how he wants to ask Mike S. about it next time they talk

Worse idea ever. There are plenty of people out there that can do the job that have been in the trenches for years. We need a GM that's a scout at heart. We need a guy that loves going to the middle of nowhere to find a Monte Coleman type. No PR heads like Smith or Riddick or at this point Doug Williams.

Re: Why moving on from Bruce Allen this year is pivotal to the future of the franchise.
 

I'm pretty sure the new setup is going to be Eric Schaffer as Team President and Kyle Smith as GM.

And honestly, I'd be fine with that.

An interesting subplot is how Trent Williams reacts once Bruce Allen is gone. Would he be open to remaining a Redskin?

He was complimentary of Dan Snyder's handling of his medical scare, getting him to specialists and giving use of the plane, etc. I think Trent's primary motivation at this point is probably getting to a winning team willing to put more guarantees into his contract. So I'm guessing he'll still want out even with Bruce gone. But I wonder how he'd react if Bruce is gone, and the new regime offers more guaranteed money.

If I were him I'd want to get to a contender, I wouldn't want to spend the twilight of my career with a rebuilding program starting from scratch with new leadership and new coaches. But it's still an interesting angle to all of this.

Of course, Bruce needs to actually be canned first.

Something tells me he will stay if/when Bruce is gone

Re: Why moving on from Bruce Allen this year is pivotal to the future of the franchise.
 

I think it'd be best for Trent to get a fresh start somewhere else. He pretty much trashed the medical staff, plus he's an older player that isn't durable and took a year off. Everything says time to move on for both sides. See if you can get 2nd rounder for him.

The best moves to restore this franchise would be to trade TW, Kerrigan, Richardson, Norman & Quinn for picks. While everyone is debating on whether to take Young or Thomas i would trade down and truly build through the draft. It would be better for the team overall and long term to gain as many draft picks as possible 12 or more picks would be great. Fire Bruce get a real GM and a discipline HC that will hold everyone accountable. I like Louis Riddick and Mike Tomlin personally build around Haskins, Guice, McLaurin, Sims, Harmon, Sweat and other young players on defense.
