I see a polarizing insecure man who has ridden his daddy’s coat tails for to long. The only way the Redskins get a new stadium is turning around their tarnished image. Not exactly Allen’s strength. Sentiment in DC area for tax payer help to build a new stadium for Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen’s Redskins will not go far at this time. Dan has to distance himself from BA.
Add the lease at the current Stadium is through 2027. He is going to be with the Redksins until then? I hope not.

Good grief. Stadiums don’t get built very often. I don’t think there are ANY NFL execs out there have negotiated new stadium deals who are not currently employed. So a person with the resume you cite does not exist.
Bruce knows all the parties involved and, supposedly, has a very good reputation with DC politicians. He’s someone they know and have worked with for years. Unless it’s determined that BRUCE is the reason a stadium deal hasn’t gotten done yet, then it doesn’t make sense to remove him and bring in someone new when he’s neck deep in things, especially if all the parties involved have good relationships. To do so would be like drafting a rookie QB and forcing him on a head coach in a year he must win or be fired. It’s doomed for failure.
As far as how long Bruce would stay on working on the stadium deal - as long as necessary until the deal is done. If he’s not involved in football operations, then it doesn’t matter at all. He’ll have the same impact on the football side of things if the stadium deal takes 1 year or 10 - ZERO.
Sadly, it seems that many here are allowing their emotions and desire to see allens head on a stick to could rational thought.
I will only be alarmed if, after the new organization structure is announced, Bruce has people in Football Ops (executive Team president, GM, or HC) reporting to him.
My guess based on reports out there is that we’ll have someone from the outside (not beholden to bruce) coming in to be the the top executive. Bruce may report to him directly and be focused only on the stadium deal. Then maybe Schaffer or Smith is promoted to GM. It’s a good separation of future with Bruce having no influence in football stuff.
