The given reason was some kind of misbehavior, I believe. That sounds about right. I can't remember who ****ed it up but I believe you're correct that Bruce was the culprit there.

The given reason was some kind of misbehavior, I believe. I think it's some combination of Scot being the cult hero and getting all the credit for their success, plus the fact that he was a raging alcoholic and gave himself ample opportunity to be fired. He hasn't been hired by anyone since then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinC Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 13 minutes ago, redskinss said: I agree, we still have a lot of work to do to get the titanic off the ocean floor and restore her to her former glory before we can set sail again. Just look at the giants, same exact scenario 2 years ago, Schoen and dabol were a huge get for them, the first year was good (not great) and they took a big step back this year. This could take a while but it certainly feels like we finally turned a corner. It all centers around the decisions at the QB spot (though obviously there are other factors - like they seem to have swung and missed on Neal at RT). They got it wrong with Jones. They will probably have to draft a QB again this year while they eat another year of the deal they gave Jones. The evaluation of Maye, Williams and Daniels is going to be huge. Obviously. One of those will be playing QB for us next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forehead Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 4 minutes ago, Spaceman Spiff said: I think this is a bit unfair to SM. He was doing pretty well here, he just got axed for whatever reason, I can't remember. But I remember he hit on a few good players in the draft and I think was turning it around decently. It wasn't actually a dig at him. More addressing folks who are saying this is the first time in however many years that we've had a "top hire." Someone else mentioned Shanahan as a coach. At the time, personal issues aside, McCloughan was considered a top hire and it didn't work out for whatever reason. Neither did Shanahan. I'm really hopeful that Harris is going to be the type of owners that lets these guys do their thing, I just don't want to get overly optimistic yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinews Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Because I don't follow Harris's other teams I wasn't sure how this would really play out but today cemented in my mind that he's the real deal and a man of his word–he lived up to what he said in Monday's presser. For the first time in a long while I feel confident about the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballZombie Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 3 minutes ago, OtisDriftwood25 said: 350 players in 3 months is a pretty big time crunch. Never understood that way of looking at it. Whoever they hire will have already been evaluating the draft. Its not like they are gonna hire some out of work bum off the couch who has not been watching film. They are gonna hire somebody who 9 times outta 10 is already actively evaluating college players. They don't just forget what they know when they come here either. Its not like a scout has to start over from scratch. They just bring their info with them. Nobody is going to magically forget that Williams has arm talent, Maye is a professional large human being who can walk and chew gum at the same time, and Daniels has wheels. Hardest part is probably reconstructing a new big board honestly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the Commanders say they plan to interview him? It's cynical, but interviewing him satisfies the Rooney Rule, so I'd expect him to get his usual round of courtesy interviews. Based on this year, it's hard to imagine him being hired as a HC, but stranger things have happened. Edited January 12 by profusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ixcuincle Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 everyone thought scot was the next coming and a genius and that he would build titles here. he never did that. his drafts sucked and his FA decisions were even worse. He was hamstrung by Bruce and Dan true. The best news is that Peters is someone you can trust. Meyers, Spielman and the braintrust did their diligence looking into him. This guy I think is the real deal. He turned down so many other teams, and then out of nowhere wants to come to Washington? With all the cap space we have and smart ownership willing to do what it takes to win? Nothing is a slam dunk especially with unproven people coming into high profile positions...but this comes close. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least for me and I know some others here he was replaced by the owner I wanted. B. Rivera seems stuck on mediocrity so any hope to draft high in a QB rich draft was almost nothing. I was expecting another 8-9 run. Instead, he crashed. 2nd pick in the draft -- makes this position both in the FO and HC department more attractive C. Most combined draft capital and cap space in the NFL. D. Hiring a real GM and they just got the best reputation one on the market. E. HC. I'll trust whatever happens. I prefer Ben Johnson by a mile mainly because I want an offensive guy and I don't want someone on their 2nd HC job. Slowik would be next but he's a peg to me behind because the description-profile feels very Norv to me. I am not fixated on leader of men type but I like some of that in the equation everything being equal. If they go defense, I'd go Mike McDonald. 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truly sad thing about Dan's tenure was that Scott was the absolute best he could lure in and do. A drunkard that hasn't been employed (in a meaningful football sense) since he left here. The epitome of the Dan Snyder era......which is completely in the rear view mirror now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
