Report says Dan Snyder is furious with Bruce Allen

[Sportster 72]

If you listened to the entire piece and I switched to ESPN 980 also. Jay and Eric have a lot of say in the draft. I hinted at this several months ago when I relayed a story about Jay and his brother Jon in which Jon explained how good of a personnel he thought Jay was.

It was mentioned that Dan wanted to get rid of Scot a year earlier and he was not happy with the goings on with Scot. Asked what he did Russell said he is not at liberty to say Dan was also not happy about the Cousin's situation. He was on board the first year but wanted to sign Cousin's long term after that. That supports what Cousin's said in that Dan was first rate. It also would support what shark, myself and a few others said that Bruce let this get out of hand and there was little chance Cousin's was going to re-sign here this year.

Last but not least .... all that I just typed above is rumor from Chris Russell who as I mentioned in an earlier post has an axe to grind with Allen. Stay tuned for Looney Tunes.

Here's a list of guys that must be considered for the job, if there's one to be filled: My choice, pay whatever it takes, but get Eric Decosta. Second choice Scott Pioli.

Chiefs VP of player personnel Chris Ballard: Kansas City’s continued success only enhanced the candidacy of an exec who’s been on the cusp for some time. Bonus to hiring him: Widely held belief he’d swiftly assemble a robust scouting staff.

Patriots VP of player personnel Nick Caserio: He interviewed in Miami a few years back, and there was a feeling then that he was ready to take his shot. He hasn’t interviewed elsewhere since, leading to a growing sense that it’d be tough to pry him away.

Ravens assistant GM Eric DeCosta: Good luck pursuing him. He’s almost certainly going nowhere. If anything were to lure him, my sense is it would have to be full control and either a major market or an historic franchise.

Seahawks co-director of player personnel Scott Fitterer: The former college director was promoted last year. And while he’s still on the road plenty, the change has given him experience in pro scouting and an office setting. His résumé = Seattle’s roster.

Texans director of player personnel Brian Gaine: In many ways, Gaine has been the bridge between scouting and coaching, with his background speaking Bill O’Brien’s language. And the Texans’ resiliency this year speaks to the depth he’s helped build.

Packers director of player personnel Brian Gutekunst: As the team’s former college director, he’s vital in how Ted Thompson builds the roster. And while Eliot Wolf is a bigger name, I’ve heard too many good things about Gutekunst to leave him off.

Seahawks co-director of player personnel Trent Kirchner: He was promoted from pro director when Fitterer was, and has since gotten more experience on the college side. He’s interviewed with the Jets and Lions the last two years.

Cowboys assistant director of player personnel Will McClay: The Cowboys’ offensive talent speaks for itself, but Dallas has been equally resourceful in stocking the defense. And in that regard, the team’s top scout has been a difference-maker.

Cardinals VP of player personnel Terry McDonough: Part of the Ozzie Newsome tree, McDonough helped Steve Keim pull off a difficult rebuild-on-the-fly the past four years. The success of Tampa’s Jason Licht coming from Arizona won’t hurt either.

Vikings assistant GM George Paton: Like Ballard, he’s been in the mix for a number of jobs—he was one of two finalists for the Rams post in 2012—and has helped build a proven winner. Minnesota’s rash of injuries has only highlighted that.

Falcons assistant GM Scott Pioli: By all accounts, he’s learned from his experience in Kansas City, and he left the cupboard far from bare. His impact in Atlanta can be seen in the recent influx of talent on defense and along the offensive line.

Bengals director of player personnel Duke Tobin: Most road scouts have an enormous amount of respect for the stoic Tobin, who has strong football roots, plus a deep, sturdy roster to show for his nearly two decades in Cincinnati.

Packers director of football operations Eliot Wolf: Once Seattle’s John Schneider signed his extension, the assumption became that Wolf would succeed Thompson in Green Bay, maybe very soon. The rumor mill has also tied him to the Niners.

If the job came open my choice would be Eric Schaffer

No no Russell said teams are coming AFTER Sheffer and dan would put Sheffer in Bruce Allen spot and Allen will go to money making building a new stadium guy Bruce will not get fired

 

[Buffalo_Nickel_1]

Dan does not want to lose Shaffer or Bruce .. Shaffer is getting hot alot of buzz

 

[Buffalo_Nickel_1]

It's Shaffer 100 percent . But Bruce made redskins a 3 billion dollar franchise from 1 billion Bruce will just get moved over Sheffer would take his place

 

[Sharkinva]

Well Ringling Brothers shut down, so Ashburn is now the greatest circus on the planet. Its no wonder the team is worth $3B now.

All three of your posts are part of what Russell said. Shaffer to GM and Bruce to stadium guy. Russell also said was that while Bruce helped Dan make a lot more money (winning off the field) Shaffer was a lot of the brains behind that also.

Again, for now I would take it as a rumor. We all know the amount of dysfunction in Ashburn. It isn't hard to imagine. Allen's win percentage in Washington is .410 but Gruden's isn't much better. It is just hard to tell with Dan and his band of Merry Men.

I like Schaffer, and the only objection to hiring him would be his connection to Bruce Allen. If he's the type of guy that will tell Bruce, I don't need or haven't asked for your input or approval so, go attend to bricks and mortar then, cool.

From those guys lips to God's ear.

Interested in what the Bruce Allen fan-boys have to say.

Don’t think anyone is a BA fan boy. I think that listen seems spot on.

Bruce has done a good job with managing the cap. PR and personnel moves, not so much. He needs to take some fault for the KC situation, but it goes both ways.

I would totally be for handing Shaffer the keys and moving BA over to a new role. If it kills his pride, then oh well, he can kick rocks.

Here's the guy Danny should be furious at:

Link.

 

[Skins2021]

I dont buy it. Hes furious at the bad PR.

He has literally zero self awareness and as a result the redskins will continue to live in perpetual purgatory.
