According to some of the DC ESPN affiliates, he's the kind of guy who tries to...."control" his drinking with only drinking a beer....now and then.. In all seriousness, that rarely works.
LOVE the move and I hope. LORD HOW I HOPe.....it works

From where he was, the occasional beer is fine.

This was my biggest concern above all.

Now, here's hoping we got something long term RIGHT this time!

He is responsible for drafting most of the 49er roster that played in 3 straight NFC championship games, then was basically fired for too much drinking, then went to Seattle and helped them over the top then canned again for hitting the bottle too much. When with the 49ers there were a lot of pictures of him obviously drunk at team facilities. Listing to sports radio the talking heads say he is still drinking but has it under control. He sounds like someone who needs to never have another drink. He is one of the best, Snyder should hire someone to keep an eye on him to make sure he keeps the drinking under control. He lost two jobs and a marriage and went to rehab, I don't think he should drink at all.

Since AJ Smith is not GM, are we still getting Wade Phillips?

Seriously. I am legit concerned that the dysfunction of this org might kill him.

It should be noted that the GM role can mean a lot of things. We'll have to see, but I think this is pretty similar to what just happened with the Eagles in that Howie Roseman was "promoted" to let Chip Kelly have personnel decision making.

I am guessing McLoughan will report to Allen, with Allen empowering him to make draft selections, while Allen retains contract negotiation and cap management duties.

But whatever, bottom line is this is a talented personnel guy who will actually be picking the personnel. He wouldn't have taken the job otherwise.

Time will tell, but as of now I am glad we made this move.

Best move Snyder has made as owner of the team... There is now light at the end of the tunnel..

I'm not sure it wasn't Allen making this move.

Well Dan has done it again. I'm back in for another year.. Hopefully this will start being a professionally run organization.
