RUMOR: Bruce Allen to Redskins?

The main attraction of Allen over Cerrato is:

1) He doesnt trade away draft picks.
2) He's not Dannys personal whipping boy
3) The fact that he's not Cerrato gives us leverage in hiring a HC to replace Zorn at some point - its been reported that Cerrato isnt well liked and its been implied that the reason Spags didnt take the job here last year was not wanting to work with Cerrato.

You can't wait to get Zorn outta here huh
