Redskins fire GM Scot McCloughan

[Schneed10]

I think it's more likely we end up with Mark Dominik. He was in Tampa with Bruce.

He's pretty good on TV too, and has GM experience. I worry though that means he'd be a yes man for Bruce. Honestly, maybe that's the best thing. McCloughan obviously was not, and all we got was turmoil.

You either give Bruce who he wants, or you get rid of Bruce.

[Schneed10]

What if Cousins succeeds in this attempt at "it's me or the dog". He'll be a bigger hero in this town than Riggins, if he manages to get Bruce fired.

A guy can dream.

As long as whoever they pick meshes well with Bruce and Jay, that's all I care about. It's a pipe dream to think one guy is going to come in and have 100% autonomy. Oh and save the boozing until you're off the clock please.

I don't believe one word.
Cooley later defends DS and BA by saying the drinking leak wasn't from the team but a rogue employee.
What kind of petulant punk goes on the air and swears on his kids? Like that means anything. He can't stand the bad feedback he is getting. Cooley and the leaks are cowardly.

Did you listen to both segments? The one on Feb 14th and yesterdays?

Mayock knows Allen and Gruden well.

That means nothing once egos get involved. Allen knew Scot and his family.

I'm not sure if the thing with Cousins is true or not, but that really says something when the starting QB goes directly to the owner and says him or me. Again, not sure how true that is but if it is that's very telling. Cousins just doesn't come off as a disruptive kind of guy.

Mayock gave a written statement on NFLN this evening saying that he has not been approached by the Redskins, has has not spoken to anyone from the Redskins organization and he has not had any conversations about a job with the Redskins.

Correct, but that doesn't mean he's not a candidate. At the moment they're all way too busy with free agency to start contacting GM candidates. One thing at a time.

They probably are just in the process of creating a short list at this point. I'd think they'll think about hiring after the draft. Before McC left he had the draft board done, so they'll ride into this draft using his board and start fresh with a new GM after that.

except he put the word official in from on those statements

[Schneed10]

Sometimes people are comfortable being in an advisory capacity. Who knows, maybe Mayock would be ok giving his draft board to Jay and Bruce and letting them execute it as they saw fit.

That's clearly what Allen wanted from McCloughan. That would have been fine if it was explained that way up front, to both Scot and the public.

It's a tough calll to think which road is the best...internal guy, someone outside familiar with Bruce and the org or a total outsider....I just extremely disappointing to hear the organization still has this divisive and petty nature going on within the confines of skins park. This situation was absurd and how it was handled...

I got nothing...my preference would be a fresh, strong personality within the org from the outside. Mayock kinda has a personality like that...I don't want Doug Williams.

And that Cooley piece, he can go fuck himself. Playing dumb ain't gonna work at this point.
