Wait, so the coach cannot cut a player without checking with SM? Wow.

Strikes me as a bit odd but, hopefully, Gruden and he can work through any big issues.

Clearly, the keys to the car were just handed to Mr. McCloughan.

Let's just hope we don't get a DWI. (I kid, I kid!)

Snyder hasn't directly interfered in years. But he has others in the organization who say "Do what you feel is best, but Mr. Snyder strongly feels..."

I can only hope McC tell that lacky to eff off. I mean Dan really needs to back the f*ck up now. This dude isnt gonna deal with that sh*t

This is great news! Finally a real football guy with a proven track record being in charge of the 53 man roster! I'm sure he also has jurisdiction over the coaching staff as well. Will be interesting to see what he does with that.

I'm assuming Bruce Allen will still negotiate contracts?

The passive aggressive approach. It's always the best and nothing ever goes wrong when you lead through passive aggressiveness.

And lets be honest, people love hear from other people through a lacky. Thats how you build respect as leader.

As an example, Ill never forget meeting a new executive in the office who had been partnered with larger group who was going to be working in close proximity to me and our small group of 5. Now when didnt report nor really gave 2 sh*ts about this person. On the walk through we small talked, smiled, laugh and even shared a joke about a fellow co worker we both happened to know. It was great. Later that day a guy came up to me and said "Hey El Chico, dumb b*tch would prefered if you lowered the curtain in the office so it will match with the rest of the floor."

I remember looking at my co worker and telling them how much I respected this new person and how I will hate f*ck her if given the privilage.

In other words....

Bruce... "So Jay, Colt did a nice job against Dallas, but who are you leaning towards this week?"

Jay.... "I'm leaning towards playing Colt again"

Bruce..."Do what you feel is best, but Mr. Snyder strongly feels it's time for Griffin to get back on the field"

Jay.... "Sure thing Bruce!"

This is the best thing I've seen in a LONG time. He should be f'n embarrassed and should have been for the better part of the past 15 years. I want to believe that he will stay away and just let things happen but I've been down this road too many times to get fooled by January proclamations. I'll believe it when I see it.

Dickhead should be embarrassed and should refund fans for this shit show the past decade.

Great quotes

Scot McCloughan likes building teams through the draft - The Washington Post

[over the mountain]

im down right giddy.

of course, now the hard work for them and the patience for us begins.

I'm sure his contract guarantees him full control. Regardless, Danny tends to not interfere with those he trusts/respects.
