Skinsfan1311 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 No way they fire him for cause, and don't pay him, unless it's true. The Skins legal team wouldn't let that **** fly. No way, no how. If the reports true, then good-riddance.. For those of you who are done with this team? Don't let the door hit you in the ass on that he way out...

Burgundy Yoda Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Scot provided us with something we haven't had in a LONG time, and that was hope and a plan. Dan and Bruce have done nothing but run people out of town, of course fans are going to assume they're the bad guys. They are and always have been.

What if Scot was drunk numerous occasions? That little blurb posted said he showed up drunk multiple times....said the last 18 months were a disaster. I'm not mad at the FO if this is true.

redskin301 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 You know what Snyder should just fire Allan and just appoint himself as GM already maybe that might fix some dysfunction what's the use of a puppet GM everyone knows synder is calling the shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if Scot was drunk numerous occasions? I was willing to give Scot benefit of doubt he was simply dealing with family matters, and really hoped that's all it was, but insiders on twitter dropped afterward that he had been drinking again. Plus, the Post article said Scot was fired for cause, rest of contract voided. Legally can't do that without strong evidence. I'd be suspicious if the contract remainder was settled/negotiated. I think Skins were trying to exit Scot out quietly but media caught on and turned it against Allen and rest of team, so time table was upped. Just me speculating though.

veteranskinsfan Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Well, we lost some good Redskins today and a General Manager. NFL Network having a field day talking up Cousins leaving and the Skins not being able to attract good free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredSkins Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 What if Scott drinking contributed to Cousins not having a LTD? Maybe he was texting Kirk at 4am every night complaining about how bad The Walking Dead is. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Allen is running the show as reported. Edit: This obviously still doesn't absolve him from the blame he deserves for being such a **** owner and fostering a toxic corporate environment over the years, etc. I just mean the day to day actual running of the team, I don't think Snyder is really in the loop on most of it. No reason to think so other than Redskins fans having a familiar complaint that makes them feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost in all this is that Gruden signed an extension. He had to know team was phasing Scot out since it happened after Scot was out at combine and that team and he would part ways. He had to know Scot was drinking on the job again and agreed to contract to help with stability in the wake of it. Otherwise can't imagine Jay would extened with a team that was firing Scot for an invalid reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to get uglier in the media before it gets better. Doubt it. It's now old news. They will be on to the Pryor signing news cycle. Scot doesn't benefit from it lingering. Plus his agent just inked a deal with the Skins for the Raiders DT. His agent will keep Scot in check and this will dissapate until we lose 2 or 3 games in a row.

Califan007 The Constipated Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 What happened to the "if this is true, then..." style of posting? There's been a LOT of stuff pointing to both Scot being let go and his drinking being at least part of the issue. I think it's beyond fact that all of this was a cluster**** of confusion among the media and fans. Damn near everyone took sides from the get-go (including many in the media). As time goes on we'll learn more and more, one way or the other. Kudos to those here who allowed themselves to wait and gain more info...hopefully you'll continue to do that, as this latest story doesn't give anymore certainty than the earlier ones. But for the next several weeks at least, there will be competing, contradictory "leaks" from "sources", both pro-Scot and pro-Allen/Snyder. If you latch on to any of them immediately as truth, it's probably confirmation bias at work more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're past this. Have to acknowledge that the drinking was at least part of it, right? Doesn't mean it all makes sense or that the team handled it well.

gooseneck Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Hey, if they released him for drinking, I have an idea. Since the name “Reskins” is controversial. We could rename the team “The Washington Teetotalers” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
