My bet is it’s next Friday. Yup. Has to be soon. Any good coach who wants to come here needs to know if Allen is staying or not. If staying then they aren't coming here.

TK Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 We've got 3 Division games left. Bruce is 3 games short of having 100 losses on his record here. If/when we drop 3 straight Division games to end the season, firing Bruce's ass should be Dan's instant satisfaction reflex move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Snyder is dumb as ****, but he’s not dumb enough to not know Bruce has to go at the end of this season. Also, to those that are whining that a decision has to be made RIGHT THIS INSTANT, uh, false. As others have pointed out, The coaches we’d want wouldn’t even be available until they’re out of the playoffs anyway. Say for example Snyder knows he wants to name Kyle Smith the GM. He can fire Bruce immediately after week 17 @ Dallas game (that Sunday or Monday, name Kyle Smith the GM, and have Kyle Smith go out and start interviewing coaches.

No, it doesn't have to be done right this instant but if you don't want be behind the other teams; you fill the GM position asap. Thing is, I don't see GM being hired first. you have to much faith to think Dan will do things in the normal way. If Dan already has someone ready to replace Bruce, it;s probably another puppet.

So he “interviews” Doug Williams on Tuesday, named Kyle Smith the GM Wednesday. Done. I’m not saying that’s what will indeed happen. What i am saying is that’s how I’d do things, or what I’d LIKE to see him do. It has nothing to do with me having faith in him to do things in a normal way.

Dan would have to name a Team President, because that's Bruce's title. So anyone interviewed for Bruce's job should be for team president position. Then Team President will name GM who will then name HC. That should be the normal thing of operations. Still, I think we'll have a HC before a TP or GM in place... Which makes me sad.

It'll probably be the new HC who decides the new FO executives. It just feels like time for Dan to go with another splashy hire, and he'll get more publicity value out of the coaching hire than by hiring a new executive.

Skinsinparadise Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Keim just on, said a lot of smoke swirling around Bruce. but he also said sometimes you hear things and it doesn't pan out so he wouldn't per se bank on Bruce removed. But it feels to him that they will make a change. Sheehan tried to nail him as a percentage on whether it happens, Keim was reluctant to do it. He ranked the chances this way when boxed in by Sheehan A. He leaves completely 40% B. He stays 35% C. He is reassigned 25% Sheehan ranked it for himself as 65% chance Bruce is out. 25% reassigned, 10% that he stays. Once Sheehan laid out his odds, then Keim changed his mind and said Sheehan is probably closer to right and said there is a lot of smoke. As for coaches, Keim doesn't think it will be Callahan. He thinks they might go for a discipline and strong leader type guy. There are people in that building who realize they need that. They seem to favor a 2nd time head coach versus a new head coach so someone like a Marvin Lewis type. He said he's hearing Rivera and McCarthy are likely headed elsewhere. He said he's learned some coaches have no interest in this job with this power structure. He did mentioned Bieniemy (even though he doesn't fit that profile) but he doesn't know how high he's ranked to them. As for Alex Smith, he thinks he's focused on playing. He thinks it's a leap that Alex would be a GM. He's a family guy who likes having spare time. So he seemed skeptical that he'd angle for GM. I see Laconfora was mentioned here as for saying it was going down with Bruce. Not really. He sort of did but hedged. He doubled down in both interviews I listened to from him that he won't believe it until it happens. So Laconfora if anything has some cynicism about it. Standig ditto -- said he's hearing rumblings about Bruce but won't believe it until Dan pulls the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommDownMan Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Reassigned would be as bad as stays. Any perceived issues and they'd do another McCloughan/LaFemina throw him under the bus I'm you're savior move. No thanks. Retire/resign/fired. I don't care how, but it's time for a clean break.

KDawg Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 If Bruce is in the building, we lose. Dan may start off trusting someone else, but Bruce will get in his ear. If Bruce lives in the same state he's a threat. In fact, to be safe, Dan needs to buy Bruce a yacht. Beautiful. Huge. Out in the Ocean away from cell signals.

Let's not forget that his buddy Jay Gruden, prefered the Titans job and the Redskins had to overpay for Jay (5M/year is hard to say no) I would imagine, if in fact Bruce was handling the hiring of the last HC, Dan was not the one making inquiries with agents or representation, then Bruce was able to (and FULLY capable of) insulating Dan from any negative pub. Even if Dan was sitting in on the interviews, Bruce likely was responsible for producing candidates, as well as setting up interviews. He likely had someone call the other coaches representation and any "He'll never work with / for Bruce," likely never found it's way into Dan's ear. This is kind of a conspiracy theory, but I don't think it's an irrational thought, and the rumors of Dan looking into Bruce's role here with the team... we've never really heard that before. There are now reports that Coaches are saying they wont come here to work with Bruce. These are the only things I can think would happen that could get Dan to ultimately make a move.

TheBlueIndian Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 There is absolutely no way that Dan and The Redskins franchise can survive with Bruce being involved in any capacity. I keep hearing people link Bruce to the stadium deal and the fact that he is a "political" type of figurehead but in my mind this guy embodies what most people freaking hate about politicians, he is completely out of touch with reality and doesn't give a crap what the fans think. He has probably mad it harder to get a deal done because he is such an unlikable turd. Sadly this has made Dan an almost sympathetic figure. Poor fool has been getting fleeced by this Ftard for 10 years now. Think back to the RG3 debacle, not the fact that we gave up all the picks , but the S-Storm that ensued with the massive cap penalties. Bruce should have been canned for that alone regardless of whether or not it truly was an "uncapped" year.. If I recall, 28 or 29 other franchises and GM's knew better than to try that S. I think Dallas got some penalties too. That should've told you that Bruce was a functional idiot. Dan HAS to know this and simply cant afford to screw this up anymore. Most fans are only mildly interested at this point, hell last year when Alex broke his leg the stadium was 1/2 empty and we were first in the division and I believe that was the "homecoming" game. This season FEDEX has been almost vacant except for opposing fans and folks who want to enjoy a live game a quarter of the price. Concessions and merchandise revenues have to reflect this. The whole frigging thing is STILL trending downward with no relief in sight. The Ommpa Loompa fires Bruce - 99% The Oompa Loompa sells the Team - .01% Giant Meteor vaporizes them both - .09% (theres a chance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
