Bruce Allen is officially the worst longest-tenured GM who has been with the same team since 2010 (in all 4 major leagues).

24 GM's total, only 3 with losing records.

Bruce Allen, Redskins, .397 winning percentage, 2 playoff appearances no wins
Dayton Moore, Kansas City Royals, .468 winning percentage, 1 World Series title (2015)
Duke Tobin, Cincinnati Bengals, .490 winning percentage, 5 consecutive playoff berths (2011-2015)

I wonder why Bruce kept Gruden though. He must have known his job was next on the totem pole, he could have bought himself 2 more years minimum with a new coaching staff last year, and no one in the NFL or us fans would have questioned letting Gruden go.

Just an odd thing for Bruce to do.

This is so pathetic...less than .400 win percentage and here a decade. How in the world could this ever be sold to me as "ok" in my life time of Skins fandom? man...

I am going respectfully disagree. I think AS is smart but you really need a seasoned vet GM here to step in and right a horribly tilted ship. Who that is and if they ever come here is the question.

I've seen the rumors about Bienemy and the Alex Smith connection, and I gotta say I'm warming up to the idea (though not with Smith as GM).

The Andy Reid coaching tree has been everything the Bill B. coaching tree hasn't. Not one of Bill B's former assistants has gone on to major success in the NFL. Reid has a pedigree of bringing in coaches who are good motivators and educators.

[url]https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2018/10/12/bill-belichick-may-be-nfls-best-modern-coach-andy-reid-is-its-most-influential/[/url]

All this ignores the fact the next GM will be the most crucial step we will take. If Dan fails on that we will be doomed no matter who the coach is.

I wouldn't oppose to this although I think I prefer for him to earn his way up to GM or any big position. It's good to know Hall made positive impact on our CBs, especially Dunbar.

Bruce isn't going anywhere guys. There was a made up story about things being red hot after the GB loss, that was 100% BS. Then guys like Chris Russell was bordering on clickbait posts like "Bruce was heard saying goodbye to folks at the offices", and when someone questioned him about it, he later said that he misspoke as he was going from information that he had heard from someone who heard it from someone else that knew someone inside Redskins park.

All of the reporters should be ashamed of themselves for forwarding on garbage and obviously 100% false and inaccurate news. It's like the boy who cried wolf. We've been hearing from these so called "sources" for the past two years now how Bruce is on the hot seat.

We should know better by now, that Bruce isn't going anywhere.

I believe he will be let go, I think Dan has got to realize by now that his methods do not work for a winning culture.. I'm not a big fan of handing the GM spot over to a former player either but they may have no choice.

Seriously, the Alex Smith road is probably just as bad as Bruce staying. The problem is no seasoned well regarded GM is ever coming here same goes for HC.

At this point just make Alex Smith GM and Colt McCOy HC, AP OC and Junior Gillette DC. I can do special teams I am pretty slow at work right now.

fuck this franchise.

Redskins ranked #9 out of 9 possible head coaching opportunities this offseason.

We taking more L's than Nick Canon right now.

We are 20 years into Dan Snyder reign and he still doesn't understand the basics of business structure or developing a culture. Perception is reality at this point.

Per Albert Breers Twitter account (sorry, i cant link as twitter is blocked from my work computer):

[QUOTE]More Redskins... Source: Owner Dan Snyder assembled a small circle of football people earlier in the season to help him with Washington's search process. None of those people work for the team.

So he hasn't done it alone, but those with the team aren't involved.[/QUOTE]

In my opinion, this is very positive news. As fans, we have been kept in the dark, but, if this report is true, it means that Snyder decided months ago that Bruce will not be part of the plan moving forward. Otherwise, Bruce would have been involved in these discussions. The fact that he's not part of the search means he's almost certainly a goner.

Man, i haven't been this excited about an offseason since Vinny was fired!

Oh wait.... we got Bruce after that. NVM, we're screwed no matter what.
