Some say done deal, others say "it's very close" now. Suffice to say it looks like it's a sure thing.

Sorry I am not sure how to embed the actual tweet on the forums. Also McCloughan said "not sure yet" when asked to assess the QB situation in DC.

Whoops. Didn't see this in your board so I started a thread on the main NFL page

per NFL.com

Scot McCloughan to be Redskins' new general manager - NFL.com

 

[Sharkinva]

OK, this is a good thing if it works out.

 

[Sleepy T]

Hell Yes! New blood in the FO! Any news on what role (if any) Smith will have??

 

[Sharkinva]

Now the question is, does this change the plans as far as A.J. Smith goes?? Or are they gonig to go for the power house move and bring in both. While that might look strong on paper, It would also kint at too many cooks in the Kitchen.

About damn time you did this Danny

From what I have read about Smith, I wouldn't see that working. Smith is a control freak. It would almost certainly be too many cooks in the kitchen. In fact, I now don't see a role at all for Smith. IF he is still retained by Dan as a consultant, I feel sorry for McGloughan. Smith will be nothing more than a spy and back seat QB to everything McGloughan does. In other words, a typical Dan move.

Wow! We deserved this. Props to Dan Snyder man. He is far from perfect, but it takes a big man to recognize faults, mistakes, and finally act accordingly. I hope A.J. stays on the west coast. I think we're good. Scot has stated that he has missed on a few, so we should not be expecting perfection, but this made my fkn day! Lol. HTTR!

This is Great News and good to FINALLY!!!! What a great way to start 2015!!! Guy can see talent...Look at the vast array of players he took in late rounds as well.....Wilson...and Sherman come to mind!!!

As far as AJ goes.......He has no position of power in the organization...If he as some have said...to be a mole for Snyder.....well...then he is nothing more then a fucking guy with his hand out!!!!!

 

[Ritzarmy]

Great news. Now lets get a DC.

[Stymietee]

Breaking News............Bruce Allen fired as DC GM!!!

 

[TCB]

Great news. Now lets get a DC.

Yeah baby!

This was the biggest step in the right direction over the past 2 decades.
Next as you say is the DC. I want to hear if Scot starts bringing in his guys too

 

[Caliskinsfan]

Can we possibly be actually getting our shit together at last? plz let it be so.

 

[Stymietee]

It would be great to either read, hear or see the conversation that took place during the lead up to this hire.


DS: Bruce I'm thinking about hiring Scot and naming him GM with all the power he's asking for.


BA: Aw, Dan you know that I'm GM and have announced to the world that the buck stops with me.


SM: There's no way that I'm coming there on any other terms.


DS: Ok guys time to make a decision, Bruce give me one compelling reason to keep you as GM.


BA: Dan you already know this....we're winning off the field!


At this point both Dan and Scot turn their heads towards the camera with blank stares slowly blinking in amazement at the response.

well doom and gloomers can i take you off damn suicide watch now ? can we now have some threads that mean shit ?

we got the best personnel guy available and allen is kicked upstairs

but now lets temper some expectations . it will take some time , 2-3 years to get the talent we need here or for him to get "his " players so keep that in mind

and damn it dont come at me with some other kind of time line because its poppycock

if i hear any , were are 11-5 next year with 7 draft picks and 20 mil in FA you will be proverbially shot for stupidity

 

[cowboycolors]

That is a solid hire IMHO.


Maybe Dan has gotten the message. Now if he can still keep his paws off the FO and let the man work then in a short span Washington can build a solid foundation on the way back to respectability. Things off to a good start in Washington for a change.


Just curious as to what will happen to Bruce Allen in the change ?


will be interesting to say the least
