Don't know how it makes me feel about DW, but it says DS still needs that buffer guy. The Director of Player Personnel gets pulled into the principal's office because he was doing due diligence in his job. Eff that. If he brings a guy in and he wants to sign him, ok the guy who pays the bills needs to know. But this article makes it sound like DS was upset that he didn't know they were looking at AP. Talk about having to looking over your shoulders all the time. That's not good.

This was the thing that bothered me most about that article.. "Bruce has a right to know if I don’t make a move, if I say something, whatever, I’ll tell Bruce. Bruce will tell Dan.”

I've worked under a number of managers throughout my career. Some good, some bad. But 90% of the time when you have a manager who is scared to let you talk to "his" boss without going through him, you have real organizational problems. Good organizations don't operate like that. If you are that high up the food chain but can't speak directly to Dan Snyder without going to Bruce? I don't know.. That doesn't sound like an open communication, team focused, organization.

Anyone ever heard of chain of command? That’s how it works for me as a federal employee.

I think context is helpful for this article, the way Doug tells the story leaves you with a much different view of the situation.

I'm just done w/ Bruce and Jay. Bruce for obvious reasons, Jay because he isn't HC material. Jay should be a position coach . I'm not even all that impressed w/ him as a OC/playcaller.

chain of command is a far cry from the 2nd person from the top feeling that he must report all discretionary actions. A courtesy note that they were bringing in a high profile name I get, but " so I had to go to the principal’s office. If that had been my mama back in the day, I knew what would’ve happened in the principal’s office" no that is not chain of command, that is dysfunction.

The real question is whether the BAs role minimizes the dysfunction or amplifies it.

Last I checked DW's role involves trying to put the best pieces together with input from coaching/scouting/etc. Sure you have meetings, notes, briefings, but getting called to the principal's office isn't something that is going to bring in high level GM talent.

[quote=MTK;1209714][URL="Report: Redskins Rejected $19.5M Cousins Deal in 2016"]Kirk was open to doing a deal in 2016 at $19.5M per[/URL]. The Skins balked. That was a mistake. Imagine having him right now for $19.5M?[/quote]

He is 6-4-1 with the Viking so its not going so smooth for him either. He even has more to work with.

Re: Is it time to seriously consider a replacement at HC?
 

I'd rather see Bruce go and see how that changes things then Gruden is it does not improve. Instead of dumping the cart and starting over.

I work for the same company, but up until spring of 2016 i worked in a different department. My ex manager was that way. She would always freak out whenever it sounded like someone was going to go to the department head about something and not tell her first. 9 months after she was made manager, she was terminated. Comes to find out she was hiding many things that weren't being done, and was always terrified that someone would mention it to the director before she could cover her tracks.

sounds like the same complaints we had here with him.

that same team went to the NFC Championship with Case Keenum and KC was supposed to be the missing piece.

He's not. And never will be.

It's not hate. KC just has a certain talent set, pretty damn good, but he has blocks that will keep him and his team from ever getting to a SB.

He will continually be a statistical powerhouse though

Yep, that's all on Kirk.

Totally different dynamics from year to year. It's painfully obvious Cousins is the better player. Keenum is a journeymen lower tier starter. Kirk is next level down from the elite starters.
