Re: Redskins fire GM Scot McCloughan
Im not buying for a second Scot's drinking was the problem. Everything I have read has people saying it didnt affect how he did his job. No, the real problem was Bruce Allen. Listen to Mike Jones' interview yesterday on ESPN 980, he went into great detail about the whole situation. Scot didnt really have the power he was led to believe when he signed on. He was supposed to have final say over personnel decisions but Allen was way more hands on than expected, overruling him on a number of decisions. Hell, at one point, Scot AND Jay wanted to cut Kory Lichtensteiger but Bruce overruled them both and kept him. And when things went wrong Bruce would make Scot the scape goat in league circles. Like on the Kirk decision last year, Scot wanted to get him signed but Bruce was against it, and when it became apparent they should have gotten the deal done after all, Bruce was telling people that if it hadnt been for Scot, they would have. Is it any wonder there was friction? Understandably Scot finally had enough and basically quit. Man, screw Bruce Allen. Seriously, get this turd out of here. I dont see us ever being a respectable team with him in charge
