Good times indeed. That said, Dan doesn't need to hire a coach before a GM. Let the GM handle that.

I'm secretly hoping the next GM is already lined up and gave his blessing on Rivera but for whatever reason Dan won't announce it yet.

Re: Confirmed: Bruce Allen has been fired
 

Ding Dong, the Witch is Dead! Bye Bye Bruce!

I'd be ok with TW coming back. I think he's still a top LT in this league, and with the exception of his noggin, which I imagine will not be an issue next season, he should be completely healthy not having played at all this season. Getting one more year out of him would be huge given all the needs this team has.

That being said, I'm not sure he will want to come back, even with Bruce and the training staff gone. What happened to him with regard to his medical situation, still happened under Danny's watch. He may just be ready to move on from the organization. If that's the case, hopefully the new leadership gets a fair haul to help address the many remaining needs, which would then also include a LT.

When I spoke to Trent Williams in Nov., he said, “I’ll never be a Redskin again.” After Bruce Allen’s firing today, a source told me that Williams returning is “a possibility.” He’s thinking on it, and there’s no decision. But the source said he still sees it as a positive. #HTTR

I really hope Dan is aware, Bruce's replacement MUST work in unison with Rivera and the coaching staff to build this together. The vision MUST be the same. If not, we haven't learned a fucking thing.

I agree in regards to Bruce Allen. The attendance dropping, the fire bruce signs/chants, Dan can only avoid it for so long. Once his advisor circle started promoting the idea too it became inevitable. No way Bruce didn't know what was coming.

Per JP Finlay, Larry Hess let go, been with the team 17 years.

While I like Schafer and Kyle Smith, maybe some folks from outside the organization from real Football franchises would help.

Interesting. This is definitely indicative of an external hire. If all they were doing is promoting Schaffer and Smith, then I don't think they'd be letting Santos go, already.

I wonder if Doug is next.

Re: Confirmed: Bruce Allen has been fired
 

I wish they would just clean house and get rid of everyone. The people that Dan wants to keep should have to re-interview for their jobs.

Just from hearing Doug talk the few times when they've trotted him out to talk to the media (cause Bruce and Dan were too fuckin' chicken shit to do so themselves) he hasn't impressed me at all. Just the way he talked about the Foster signing, as well as saying how the draft was basically luck, just didn't come off as very bright or media savvy.

Re: Confirmed: Bruce Allen has been fired
 

Doug shouldn't be pushed out there to take bullets from the media. That should have been Bruce.

Re: Confirmed: Bruce Allen has been fired
 

No press conference scheduled for today but there is a 99% house cleaning going on. I'm glad it's happening!

What he should be worried about is getting the best guy, and not worry about getting a GM who is pro Haskins. Such a Dan Snyder move if you ask me. He's probably on the phone right now w/ Riddick.

More importantly he's Dan's hand picked QB.

Haskins should be the starter moving forward, but if I'm talking to Snyder for a GM job, that person is hopefully in favor of drafting a QB just about every year.

[quote=MTK;1241245]Doug shouldn't be pushed out there to take bullets from the media. That should have been Bruce.[/quote]

Perhaps, but technically, isn't that Doug's job. Bruce was the team president. Doug had the title most closely approximating a GM. Agree it was a dick move by Bruce to put him out there, but it just shows Doug is in over his head.

Additionally, Doug just doesn't suck at talking to the media. He also fundamentally sucks at his job. He thinks scheme doesn't matter and you should just go out and get the best players regardless of scheme and leave it to the coaches to figure it out.

Agree 100%.

If true, Snyder just wants another sycophant.

Re: Confirmed: Bruce Allen has been fired
 

Why would you want to get rid of an up and coming eye for talent like Kyle Smith who has proven the last 2 years that he knows what he’s doing. That would be seriously stupid.

and himself.

The GM building around Haskins should be a team goal at this point and would be for any team in the same position. And I think Ron realizes this as well given his interest in the position.

Grant is just trying to cook up drama. We should probably give a lil credit for Dan being decisive in firing Bruce and moving quickly to secure interview with top HC prospect.

In some ways, I feel bad for the guy because our facilities and equipment have always been criticized as poor, old and lacking.

I hope Rivera and the head trainer he brings in takes one look around, makes a grocery list, hands it to Snyder and Snyder gets every last item.

We need better facilities. We need more money spent on pro and college scouting.

Dan spend some of that damn money. And not just on payroll or a new head coach but on things that dont get media and PR attention. The stuff that is equally important to a winning culture and organization.

-----------------------------------
Former defensive back Will Blackmon played for Green Bay, Seattle and the New York Giants, in addition to the Redskins (2015 and 2016). While he was [B]with the Packers, Blackmon said he never saw the executive offices. In Seattle, he said execs worked on a higher floor than where players practice and train. And Blackmon said he doesn't even know where the Giants' executive offices are located[/B].

At Redskins Park, Blackmon knew where to find the executives. That's because, unlike many other teams, [B]the Redskins are housed in a mom-and-pop-type shop, a 27-year-old facility packed with offices where secrets rarely remain so[/B].

The executive and coaches offices are on the same floor, separated by a lobby area. The players are often in that area -- going in and out of meetings -- because of the tight layout. [B]Redskins Park predates Snyder's ownership, but ownership renovated the facility in 2013 -- thanks to a $4 million grant from the state of Virginia -- and added numerous offices and employees.[/B]

While that renovation made it newer inside, it has also cramped the main level.

The [B]office and training facilities at Redskins Park comprise 121,000 square[/B] feet, according to Redskins.com. By comparison, [B]the new Minnesota Vikings' state-of-the-art TCO Performance Center has 277,000 square feet for offices and training facilities[/B], per Vikings.com. For comparison, [B]the Vikings' previous facility, Winter Park, had 138,000 square feet -- still larger than a renovated Redskins Park.[/B]

"[B][Redskins Park] is so small quarters [/B]that you run into everybody all the time. It was tough because everything always got out," said Blackmon, who added he had no issues with Allen. "There were always rumors and so many stories and it's exhausting. It's like we're on Capitol Hill when it comes to politics."

Too many issues reach the locker room. There are plenty of stories describing a divide between the coaches and the front office or a coach sharing his thoughts on a player to his teammate.

+1

It has always boggled my mind that an owner like Dan who's willing to spend as much as it takes for a player won't build a new practice facility. It's a general consensus that the Redskins have one of the worst facilities in the league.

Exactly. The guy had an awesome 2019 draft. Almost a dozen rookie STARTERS from the draft and UDFA. His THIRD ROUND pick almost was Rookie of the Year. That’s huge!

If he wasn’t on this team, other organizations would be thinking about him as a GM. Because he’s attached to this franchise, everyone thinks he sucks.
