Haslett Skins Part Ways

The 'He's not a Pinto either' outlook is absolutely not the attitude I want for this organization ever again. We need leaps and bounds better than what we have and we need it right now.

Ok so who replaces Allen and will they come here?

I think anybody who wants to be able to say "I turned that franchise around" would come here. Only problem is Snyder has to want to hire that person first.

[NM Redskin]

So who's out there? So far I heard Rex, Phillips, Norton Jr. so far.

[SFREDSKIN]

I would interview Brian Baker, he needs to be given a chance, Kirk Olivadotti is another one.

That's a a fair question. The following all would be eligible to become our GM (that is, it's a vertical move for them):

Tom Heckert, Broncos
Brian Xanders, Detroit
Chris Ballard, KC
Nick Caserio, New England
Tom Gamble, Philly

Of course there are many more possibilities. The following links talk about a number of folks:

As for "will they come here?," who knows, but we wanted Gruden, Shanahan, and Allen before and got them all.

I think they will pick a veteran like Phillips or Singletary to help Gruden as a new HC. Although I am the biggest fan of Norton being hired to implement Seattle defense. If Seattle loses its DC Norton may be next in line for that job.

Not excusing Haz at all but with the injuries and a flat out lack of quality talent it's hard to see any coach having much success. The safeties have been horrible for years, corner is always thin, and outside of Kerrigan this year no consistent pressure.

Way to ruin a good old lynch mob. Don't you know it's all about scheming?? Haslett is a moron...if only we'd had Rex we'd have been a top 5 D the last 4 years!!

Ok boys on to the next scapegoat... who's up next? Gruden? Allen? RG?

Gamble was let go in Philly.

Oh obviously Allen with the presser today. Outside of saying I'm stepping down there was no winning today.

Sounds about right. Missed the presser... How's the Harvest Fest going??

That's not true. The win was to explain how you plan on fixing this team. Not sidestepping all the questions and making ridiculous jumps. Allen brings value to the Redskins franchise, but not in the personnel department. What I want to hear from the man running this team is a plan, even if just hypothetical or names redacted, to fix the ship. The current course isn't working.

To steal something mooby (I think) posted a while back that still sticks with me, let's party fellas...

I agree. I replayed the presser for about 10 mins, and it was just garbage. Bruce didnt even look serious or bothered by the status of the franchise. He gave the fans no vision and no hope things will change. Actually kinda sad imo, just same ole bs from Danny and Bruce. No substance.

I think it's funny people are saying Snyder needs to back the truck up to [insert name]. Even if the decision was forced on Gruden, Let him now have the opportunity to bring in "his" guy. This year is now his to set a course for the Skins, and he ought to have full say in who heads the defensive side of the ball.

I also am ok with Allen staying in the role he's in. It may be not the Mercedes, but it's not a Pinto either, and too many changes confuse the issue of who is holding the keys. Lets say we bring in a B+ or A- candidate, now is he going to make the calls, if so does Gruden get another year because the A- candidate pushed a different group on him?

Get the defense coached right, bring in top notch Safeties, and RT. And draft solid OL/DL. That's what I'd like to see.

I thought I heard that Wade Phillips was at the last game.
