One thing that chode knows how to do is ass-kiss like no other. Could this be Vinny's 3 peat? Coming home after being abandoned by his racquetball partner/lover boy. Only time will tell.

/I'll apologize in advance for going to the Solidsnake school of rumorography. Normally I'm above this.

Hope SM falls on his feet somewhere and gets his shit straight. He seems like a good personable guy that has some issues. Redskin Park was obviously not a good atmosphere for him to be in.

i don't think any GM position is a good atmosphere for him to be in . . . too much stress . . . and HE has to realize that an alcoholic cannot drink at all . . .not a beer here or there . . . not at all . . . i hope he does get cleaned up, but until he realizes that he needs help and needs to stop completely he will continue to relapse

Agreed. He probably was better off in his own company

Team sports culture in general typically involves alcohol from the players to the coaches to the front office.

Life goes on, only those involved with the actual firing of Scot McC know what went down and are afraid of any legal implications about saying anything about it. Reality is the guy is gone and to be honest some other guys on NFL.com weren't all that off the mark when they thought Scot was overhyped to begin with. Snyder has had us to the level of Cleveland and Detroit, where any change in the FO is seen as a new era, etc and gives us false hope. Face it, his(Scot's) moves weren't all that great in FA or the 2016 draft. He did some nice things in FA, but some others evened it out. All we can do is what we have done for the past 20+ years and hope for the best. And if not there is a plethora of other ways to spend our Sunday afternoons.

It is getting old. Bitching about it is dumb. I wish we would sign a big name if just to put this subject to rest.

The fact they stuck with the Board and executed the plan with Free agency...all it does is solidify the fact McC was sound with judgment and had the complete buy in with his team of scouting and personnel.

[Evilgrin]

We fired him for cause, but we are still following his free agent and draft planing...

Why are they sabotaging themselves.

Once again... a lot of input goes into putting together the draft/free agency plan, McC didn't sit down and scratch everything out himself. It was a team effort so that's why they are following the plan.

This goes with the mindset of Redskins fans wanting to always pin the consequences (positive or negative) on a single person.

[Schneed10]

Why does everyone want to boil this down and make everything so simple?

Oh, it was McCloughan's draft board, and they are still using it, yet they fired McCloughan?? I can't make sense of that!!

Shocker, because you don't think very well, that's why you can't make sense of it.

I'm not gonna sit here and question whether some of these posts are directed at me, if you are gonna call me out just do it.

This is all I am asking: If McC had been drinking on the job for an extended period of time why did they not make a plan and stick with it? Clearly he was a weakness that needed to be addressed, why did they do in the haphazard way of firing him during free agency? It wasn't like they saw him having 1 beer on the job and decided he had to leave immediately. Who was the last GM fired during free agency not named McCloughan? Shit, the Seahawks and 49ers knew he had a drinking problem and they still didn't end up with the mess we have now.

It's all speculation at this point. Maybe the death of his mom, even at 100, did throw him deeper than is being acknowledged. Maybe the team hoped to get through FA, and maybe even the draft, but when he missed both the combine and the start of FA, they felt they had to act. Maybe the darkest reports of smears and jealousy by BA are in fact the actual reason.

We may not know for several months/years. It's a shame because he was a fan favorite, and in that respect, maybe they had to let the fans see him miss both the combine and FA in order not to have a fan revolt (even doing it with him missing has cracked that door open).
