A.J. Smith to be Redskins GM?

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

I was sitting here wondering who in the NFL ISN'T connected to someone already in the Redskins organization in some way or another? Especially if people are going to do with connections like "he worked with [insert name here]'s father/brother/mom/hair dresser".

Yeah it's silly.

It's a small world in the NFL. Chances are someone knows someone.
