HigSkin Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Sorry to all you DeCosta fans but I believe TK called this one....not a surprise. FO staff is rounding out nicely. http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/features/rumors Click on link for entire article Allen hiring Redskins icon soon? While we sort through all the rumors zipping around the Internet about Mike Shanahan coming in to coach the Washington Redskins, a man who works for another NFL team -- but who guided the Redskins to a Super Bowl as a quarterback -- might be brought in the mix too. Tampa Bay Buccaneers director of pro personnel Doug Williams could be headed to Washington to take on a similar position, according to some speculation from Bucs blog Joe Bucs Fan. There has already been some indication that Williams would not be retained by the Bucs following this season, and a return to Washington would have a symbolic impact, not to mention the actual capacity that Williams has shown for the job.

Burgold Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Not sure how I feel about this. I love the legend of Williams, but I don't know how strong he is as a personell guy. I think if I recall he wasn't a bad coach at the college level, but has he been a good scout? Does he have an eye for talent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyburd Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 This could mean JC stays. He should get another year, who is better that is available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMOSS89 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 JC will have one fan. But it hasn't happened yet, so we should wait. Unless TK knows something we don't, which usually happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMOSS89 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Seriously though...Thats my hang up as well. I'm going to try to do some research to see what i can find. Thing is he was simply a scout, not like, the head personel guy. So it depends on what role we'd give him. You don't know which players he had say in down there so it'll be tough to really judge him. What we do know is that he was retained by ownership when Bruce Allen was fired. So hey, that can't be horrible, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins55 Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Wow this has created a circus for our team down the stretch of the season. I cant imagine the distractions they must be facing with all of these front office speculations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mania Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I'd much rather have Eric DeCosta or Bobby DuPaul, but I believe this would be a lateral move for both of them if they were Director of Player Personnel with the Skins, therefor the Ravens and Bears could block the move.

From what i've been hearing on Espn980 all day is that Shanny has indeed been giving his "ghost" OK. Atleast where the Allen hiring is concerned.
