I also have a problem going with anybody who's been part of the football operation this year. There's value in cleaning it all out and starting fresh, new mentality and new ideas all around.

With that logic we should have passed on McVay.

Not saying your wrong but old sayings are old for a reason.

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Drafts are really difficult to assess after 75%of one season.

You said it yourself, Drafts are really difficult to assess after 13 games.
Smith has 1 draft as the head of college scouting. He has a popular name but how can you assess anything he's done?

McVay had 3 seasons as OC.
His last season as OC and Play caller, they ranked 3rd in the NFL in yards per game.

I want Doug Williams and Eric Shaffer running the front office...there's mention of Kyle Smith....he has been in charge of College personnel for ten years...and there's talk of promoting him to GM...I don't want anyone in that front office that's been there for 10 years....so Smith should be terminated along with that idiot Allen..

Smith has only been in his current role for 2 years

Re: All I want for Christmas is a nsw Front Office

Murphy handed McCarthy his pink slip right after the game against Arizona. This is obviously a systemic failure from the top. I have zero confidence that Dan can hire a competent GM and coach. There is a failure to develop the teams identity from year to year and fans and media are constantly left speculating as to what the teams expectations are.

I like that he is a younger guy. Fuck this ole boys league hiring stuff. Tried it, doesn't work. I'd like to give him a shot.

Same with the HC, fuck the offensive best friend coach stuff, give me Kris Richard or some other young defensive coach.

I’m really hoping If we are lucky enough to get rid of Bruce Allen, that we just don’t promote Doug and make no other changes in the front office. That would be a terrible failure. We need to completely culture change in the front office.

If a large number of heads haven't rolled by NYE, I'll just lose all hope.

Re: All I want for Christmas is a nsw Front Office

The biggest reason to clean house, including Smith, is he’s yet another one of these people that Bruce Allen knows, so he went with what was comfortable. He knew AJ Smith and AJ said hey give my son a shot.

I want all sense of cronyism gone from Redskins Park. I want a culture of what you know, not who you know. I don’t like how everyone is familiar with everyone, it breeds a culture of comfort. There are very good candidates out there, we just need to look.

There was a prevailing sense of cronyism with Kyle as the OC.

He went on to coordinate the best offense in the NFL in a Superbowl a few years later.

If Smith is a true talent, and none of us know if he truly is, it doesn't seem smart to get rid of him just because his dad knew Bruce.

If true meritocracy is the goal, and I think that's what most favor, then that's not it.

Fine, then make the case why Smith is a better candidate than Joe Douglas or several others out there. Because I’m not seeing it. And because I’m not seeing it, I’m left with the assumption that he’s riding his father’s coat tails. Can you explain to me why AJ Smith is more qualified and accomplished than the alternatives?
