A.J. Smith to be Redskins GM?

Chico23231 · 01-02-2015, 03:17 PM

I think organization is still heading in the wrong direction...Bruce, Scott Campbell, and other lackies who Danny Boy listens too who shouldnt be involved....they need to go.

This organization isnt making the changes it needs too...or they are half assed.

There was something on twitter from HTTR24/7 who said Bruce isnt serious with the folks he is interviewing this round for DC...says dog and pony show, Bruce already know who he will hire.

I mean, its a joke of an organization

The browns reportedly offered a 4th. Allen wouldn't give him up for anything less than a 2nd. Good thing that worked out in our favor...

Yeah, I mean anything more recent than that.

If Bruce is holding the reins, it doesn't matter where AJ sits on the wagon.

It's crazy but it seems worse now than it ever did under Vinny. Allen is a boob, I don't know how Snyder can watch 5 minutes of that press conference and confidently say this is the guy I want running my team. I know for me after I heard that presser I decided I am finally done being a part of the problem, after a decade of having season tickets I'm out. This team can go F themselves.

I think the reason they won't offer Smith the GM position, is because he reportedly doesn't like any of the 3 QBs, and Jay Gruden isn't "his guy".

Meaning: Dan Snyder isn't ready to fully hit the reset button yet.

As always, good insight from Keim. I had forgotten that W. Phillips had ties to Smith.

Also, much as he is a whipping boy at the moment, Keim sets out Allen's important function in the franchise as "Snyder Buffer Zone."

Particularly if the relationship between Smith and Wade Phillips (San Diego connection) results in Wade coming here. I am so tired in seeing Bruce hiring people he is familiar with. If you're conducting a real job search you open it up to the best candidates. Phillips is easily the most accomplished.

If they hire him instead of a familiar face it will show me they are actually letting AJ make some calls. Which would be a step in the right direction.

Wade and AJ go back to their Buffalo days together

I'm totally fine with AJ Smith in charge of football operations

Just read a few articles on AJ's drafting philosophy. He mentions that he learned the basis of his philosophy working in the USFL under coach George Allen. According to Wiki, George Allen was the coach of the Chicago Blitz back in 1983. Wiki also listed another Allen associated with the Blitz, GM Bruce Allen, go figure right...

Here's the article if anyone is interested.
