Blokestradamus Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Well, it sounds like everything in Washington is running smoothly. And rumors that Allen paid Chris Cooley to make it public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 @pschrags Sad news in Washington. Scot viewed as one of the real great evaluators in the league and a good man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blokestradamus Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 alllllrighty then If he's been showing up drunk and all, he probably deserves to be fired. It makes him a liability, especially in a public/media-facing role. Recently lost his grandmother, I believe he was in charge of her estate. Just a bad situation all around.

JohnC Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 hmmm someone who lives in DC area was talking about this in the shoutbox this morning. Crazy dysfunction. Bruce Allen. I was the one in the shoutbox who was discussing the issue. Drinking issues may have been a factor but the core problem had to do with the conflict between Bruce Allen and McClu****. An example of the finger pointing that caused a rift was that McClu was accused of leaking to others that it was Allen who declined giving Cousins the extended contract last year while he was for it. Now the cost has exponentially gone up. This is a case of not having clear lines of authority. You can't have a mixture of voices and expect to always have agreement. Friction is inevitable and it doesn't get milder, it escalates until there is a combustion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 (edited) The real "House of Cards" in DC is at Redskins Park. With Kevin Spacey starring as Bruce Allen. That bald guy (Frank Russo?) is Scot. @albertbreer We'll see how this thing gets positioned. My feeling knowing what I know about Washington -- This was largely about decision-making power.

CNY315 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Mike Jones ✔@MikeJonesWaPo Was told late in the season of jealousy up top and how they'd one day use McCloughan drinking as an excuse to can him. Exactly what happened Yikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTimeAFLGuy Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Can someone explain what happened with this dude? Why did he fall out of favor with the FO? Is it because he didn't lock Kirk down or am I just out of touch with the Skins? ...Cliff Notes explanation....Dan Snyder and the Deadskins......you do the math since he bought 'em...........

Hapless Bills Fan Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 @MikeJonesWaPo Redskins fire GM Scot McCloughan after two seasons https://t.co/Ceit6x6MLF WTF, why wait until the start of FA? “He’s had multiple relapses due to alcohol,” said the official, who spoke on a condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment on personnel matters. “He showed up in the locker room drunk on multiple occasions. . . . This has been a disaster for 18 months.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/redskins/redskins-fire-gm-scot-mccloughan-after-two-seasons/2017/03/09/652aa4f0-04fc-11e7-b9fa-ed727b644a0b_story.html?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.a7c8eebb5af7 Right, so if it's been a disaster for 18 months, why not give him the ol' "heave-ho" after the season? Why wait until the start of FA and the combine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Dan Snyder makes this whole thing believable. If true, what a petty and rotten man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a contract so it was in his interest to be fired rather than quit. This was an ugly smear job that demonstrated the internal viciousness and machinations within this classless organization.
