Re: Redskins name Bruce Allen Team President/ GM
Why some of you guys insist on being miserable about your team is beyond me.
The season hasn't even started and you're ready to crucify the targeted idiots on the team/staff.

He got the job not because he is an exceptional coach, he got it because management knows him and he knows the staff. If that's the criteria for hiring people then failure is inevitable.

Nothing about what Jay Gruden has done is impressive or exceptional. Jay Gruden will not elevate this team and within the next 2 or 3 years he will me coordinating somewhere else.

Plenty of coaches that didn't have exceptional resumes that went on to be great head coaches. There are also a lot of great coordinators out there that have sucked as head coaches. I am happier with this hire than trying to to remake the old Broncos or Redskins.

Who? Name some of those great head coaches that didn't have exceptional resumes. Joe Gibbs, Bill Belichick of the world were exceptional before they became head coaches.

John Harbaugh is one of the few college coaches that has succeeded in the NFL after being a college coach. I'm sure coming in he had a TON of doubters and naysayers because he was a college coach.

Pete Carroll sucked as an NFL coach (ask any Pats fan) and I'm sure a lot of people had doubts about him coming back after being a successful college coach.

Jim Harbaugh was a special teams coordinator from Philly. I don't think he had an "exceptional" resume and was pretty unknown.

Jeff Fisher was a d-coordinator, who bounced around different teams before becoming head coach. I'm not saying he's super successful, but he's been around for a while as an NFL coach.

I think you're getting John and Jim mixed up. John was the special teams coordinator in Philly before getting the B-more head coaching gig. Jim was the head coach at Stanford before he went to the 49ers.

I remember looking at the John Harbaugh hiring in B-more and thinking, "really, a special teams coordinator?" Look how wrong I was lol.

I'll give you Bill Parcells. Madden, though, was exceptional...he helped the team reach the SB.

This goes on all around the NFL. People hire who they're comfortable with.

I see an organization that's blindfolded walking towards the edge of a cliff. You don't need to be a genius or take a wait and see approach to conclude that the bitch is going over the cliff without a serious course correction.

We have the same folks running the defense AND we have no gaping holes! Those are some fancy blindfolds.

Then maybe you need to root for a different organization.

I'm leaning towards the 49ers...what will it take for you to root for a different organization?
