Redskins fire GM Scot McCloughan

[hilker09]

Everyone on ESPN is giving the Redskins grief for the "leak" and that this didn't happen in SF or Seattle. If not, how did we find out drinking was involved in SF and Seattle? It had to be a leak, right?

TBH, I blame the WaPo for making the decision to publish it. I know they want to sell papers, but if they had any morals at all, they would have held it.

The Redskins will get more grief about the exact same circumstance than any other team in the NFL. Just part of the Redskins experience.

Imagine the grief if they had kept this all under wraps and just out of the blue canned him and we had no idea why. Not saying the leaks were the right way to handle it, but it was probably a lose/lose for the Skins either way.

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

Or if something public happens like Scot getting a DUI or something.
