As we all have said on here, until POS Danny boy lets go and allows a GM to take FULL control, shit will not matter

Shanahan's contract stated that he (Shanahan) had full control of all football personnel matters, yet Snyder and Smithers still managed to undermine his authority. And Shanny is no shrinking violet.

Apparently, Snyder can't be controlled - no matter what. Nevertheless, the illogical part of my mind still clings to faint hope that if Smithers, Snyder's co-conspirator, is fired and a HC/GM with contractual full authority is hired, then we have a puncher's chance of knocking out the many problems we have now.

The logical part of my brain says "Nah, we're screwed as long as Snyder owns the team".

That's always been the rumor but I don't think it's ever been confirmed

Really? I thought that was a fact.

Look at the way he commands this scene while wearing a classic Canadian tuxedo:

He can lead my franchise any day.

Supposedly Allen is getting fired tomorrow and his replacement is already in place, which would indicate it’s an in house replacement.

I’d be happy with Schaffer as team president and Kyle Smith as GM.

But this would make compliance with the rooney rule difficult, unless Doug Williams got a “token interview,” which would be rather disgraceful.

90% Of Redskins media on Twitter is saying Bruce is a goner... Usually when there is that much smoke it's legit

I hope so. IMO, he must go for the organization to have a chance to improve on the field. But I don't like the idea of an in-house replacement unless the GM position is not part of the new guy's duties.

How would you guys feel if Alex Smith was moved to the front office? Like GM?

Would I want a guy with literally no FO experience whatsoever running the entire team?

No. I like Alex Smith but I also like new FO guys to work their way up the ladder before being handed the keys to the company.

Agreed, but Lynch has done a pretty good job in San Fran with minimal experience.

Worse idea ever. There are plenty of people out there that can do the job that have been in the trenches for years. We need a GM that's a scout at heart. We need a guy that loves going to the middle of nowhere to find a Monte Coleman type. No PR heads like Smith or Riddick or at this point Doug Williams.
