What a Nerd, "prefers to be called". Sorry bruh, you're Riverboat to me. Big fan of the hire if true. I am very curious to Kevin O'Connell's and the rest of the FO's fate.

Kevin would be retained as OC since he has helped Haskins quick progression and don’t start over with a new OC.

I totally disagree with this. Whomever the new coach is needs to be able to bring in his own coaches, or have the authority to bring in his own coaches.

As usual the Redskins do business differently and maybe there is an agreement with whoever the coach will be. In this case it makes sense, I think KOC has done a good job once Callahan removed the shackles from him.

I agree with this.

In fact it's very concerning if Snyder picked his own head coach again.

Bring in a guy to run football ops, let that guy pick his head coach, the head coach picks his staff.

If Dan is picking the head coach and insisting his football ops guy work with Ron he has learned nothing and we're doomed to another 5-10 years of mediocrity.

The only scenario which I accept is Dan hiring his football ops guy, his football ops guy wants Riverboat Ron, and Riverboat Ron likes KOC as his O-coordinator.

I don't have anything against KOC, just believe it's a terrible look if Dan forced him on his new HC.

First for all the Bruce Allen lovers who want to keep him in some capacity as a stadium guru or something else. He is a cancer in the organization:

1. He was considered the Worst GM in the NFL by players and agents in a USA poll two years ago. He is specifically listed as “untrustworthy” by them all. Is that a trait you want in a team executive?

2. He is despised by the Redskins fans and media. How is that going to translate into helping to get politicians to cough up a $ 1 Billion for a new stadium?

3. He was specifically listed as a casual factor by the team’s best player as a reason for wanting to leave the team? He sabotaged the possibility of trading this player, in his typical nasty manner. Is this a person you want in your organization?

4. While VP he continually undercut and sabotaged other qualified executives on the staff including a GM, an executive brought in to improve fan relations, and others. As these people were being released by the team he leaked nasty rumors about them. Again, is this a person you want in your franchise in any capacity? He got rid of these people not because they were failing but because they WERE SUCCEEDING and steeling his thunder. To be a SUCCESSFUL executive you hire people better than you, give them guidelines but let them do great things. You don’t sabotage them because they are doing better than you!

5. He was clueless about football and showed his arrogance and lack of awareness of the problems on the team. Calling the culture of the team as “damn good” when the team eventually would go to 3-13 shows his utter lack of situational awareness.

I don’t hate Bruce Allen. He is just a guy who moved in the NFL based on nepotism. He has been an utter failure at every aspect of this team: over 100 losses in 10 years, considered the worst GM in the league and NO STADIUM. How many years do you give a guy to do anything positive besides being Dan Snyder lackey? He is a terrible GM and a pitiful leader, and shows me no attributes as an executive that I can see. Get rid of him and move on.

Gotta love this video of DA and AS walking out the stadium in completely opposite direction of BA ! Quite awkwardly tensed but great sign as it comes to BA being completely out of here !

Aside from late games being too late to watch live over here in the UK (thus I won't see the 49ers v Seahawks game until this evening as I'm working), the time difference also means we don't see fresh NFL news until around lunchtime. I'm waiting with bated breath for the announcement that BA is gone.

One thing I've not seen debated here is that it looks like we're signing our new HC before we sort out our GM situation. Is it me or is that an unusual scenario? Or is it because BA is sticking around like he proverbial bad smell? I hope not...

I am concerned, it is 7:15 am and Bruce Allen still has a job. Didn't Snyder wake Gruden up at 5am to have him come in and get fired?

I hope that is correct that he is actually gone in all capacities.

[jamf]

Sheffter just reported on espn that BA was fired. No longer with the team in any capacity.

Unzips pants...

Bruce has been fired per a team statement.
