A.J. Smith to be Redskins GM?

[SmootSmack]

I couldn't confirm it before, but Ian Rapaport is reporting that the Redskins did indeed reach out to former 49ers GM Scott Mcloughlan. Don't know what the result was

He need to come in here and replace Scott Campbell now. I'd drink to that.

Think we need to update the thread title and add "Real"

Now that would be outstanding! Between him and Smith, and then Allen handling the money side of things, I think the franchise can be turned around.

It's a pipe dream to think that Bruce will be removed from personnel matters.

Everyone here knows that Bruce sucks at personnel. But Bruce himself seems to have no idea. And he is in charge. So, he can empower advisers, but in the end it will be his show because he doesn't know better.

Thinking that Bruce will remove himself from personnel matters is unrealistic.

Bruce doesn't need to remove himself from personnel matters for it to happen. Snyder could do it. Bruce might not like it but I doubt that he would quit over it.

Snyder could do it but didn't.

You don't expect Snyder to demote his drinking buddy and best snitching buddy, do you?

SnyderAllen is still trying to sell us Charlie Brown's Christmas tree. But this time it has an AJ Smith ornament on it. Big deal.

SmootSmack can probably verify how much of Rapoport's info actually winds up being true, but I did ask him, via Twitter, if McCloughan was indeed interested in joining the Redskins, and Rapoport responded by saying "He is". So, there is interest between both parties. Now, what that means, I have no idea.

Rap is very well connected. I lean on his info a lot

This still seems like a longshot, would you agree? It seems more likely that Smith steps into the head personnel role than McCloughan based on his closeness with Allen and the fact he's already 'in house' I would assume, especially the way the Redskins do business.

Ideally McC coming in from the outside with a completely fresh set of eyes and given full control of scouting and personnel would give us some legitimate hope for the first time since the '90s.

Yeah it's certainly much more a long shot than Smith. And I do have concerns about McC. I didn't realize that the Redskins had been using him as a consultant of sorts during the season.

Scot does have ties to Allen though, through his father/brother
