In all seriousness, can you be even more condescending to the man?  :(

 

Pro********Talk is a product of Mike Florio.

 

Mike Florio wants only the worst for the Redskins.

 

He will " troll " Redskins fans every chance he gets.

Thank you, SF.  Why he is this way, I can't give an explanation but he is and I believe it.  He has done it as long as I have known about his P**** A** Site.

Complaint filed against Redskins

 

 

This is incredible.

 

 

The Washington Redskins did not follow the protocol established by the Rooney Rule before they interviewed a minority candidate, according to a complaint sent to the NFL by the group in charge of monitoring the league's minority hires.

 

The Redskins met with New York Jets executive Rod Graves on Monday, but did not alert the league to the interview, according to Fritz Pollard Alliance director John Wooten. Washington has agreed to a deal with Scot McCloughan to become its new general manager.

The NFL said the Redskins did not violate the rule because they had obtained permission from the Jets before speaking with Graves. Wooten said teams must inform the league of their intentions and said that he expects the league to remind teams of need to follow this rule.

"We did not have that information based on the fact that the Washington club did not carry through with the procedure," Wooten said. "We have no way of knowing if you are interviewing a minority if you don't inform the league office. That's where the rub comes in.

"They put us all in a strange position because that's the league rules. It's not the John Wooten rule. In order to avoid sham interviews, you've got to monitor that and the only way to monitor it is for you to tell us who you interview and then we follow up the interview and we can tell in five minutes if it was a sham interview or not."

 

The Rooney Rule was established in 2003 for coaching vacancies and extended to senior football operation positions in 2009. Graves, who is African American, had been a general manager with Arizona and that past experience held appeal to the Redskins. Wooten said his understanding was that Redskins president Bruce Allen was interested in someone who had previously held the position.

In all seriousness, do any of you guys watch football?

 

Or, like, have jobs?

 

I don't get why this is so confusing.

 

Dan owns the team. Bruce runs the team. The includes football side and business side. The GM runs the football side. The coach runs the part of the football side that's actually on the football field. Yes, there will be overlap and collaboration and areas where dudes step in, but every football team (and every business) have a structure like this.

One could argue that with the results that this franchise has achieved since this owner took over, it is likely and probable that the corporate structure has been unlike what you have described.  The original poster raises a legitimate question.  What is the chain of command and thus who is accountable to who.  Unlike probably most NFL teams, that kind of structure did not exist in this organization in the past 15 years.  Only time will tell if that has changed.
