Trouble in Redskins Park?

[MTK]

That's not my take at all.

I've said the team handled it as poorly as can be. The leaks are absolute bush league. Do I think McCloughan has a drinking problem? Yeah I think it's safe to say he does. Anyone denying that he's drinking is an absolute fool. By his own admission he never stopped, and it seems to be pretty common knowledge among players and reporters that he is a functioning drunk. Was that the reason for him getting fired? Probably not, it's likely a convenient excuse when the real problem stems from a power struggle between Allen and McC, and there's probably a lot more to the situation that we'll never know about.

It was a messy situation with a messy ending. I really can't think of any way it could have been resolved amicably and left the fans feeling ok with it. I don't think it's a terrible thing that Allen and McCloughan couldn't find a way to make things work, shit happens, but the way the team handled it was horrible and pretty classless.
