Snyder has moved so far out on the tree limb that if he moves, he gets killed (metaphorically) Or Snyder is riding the tiger. And fears that if he dismounts, it will eat him (again, metaphorically) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylor made Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Good - one more year of sub-par .500 football and sounds like he is a goner. Too bad he set back the franchise a couple seasons with this off-season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripsean21 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Hold up so there’s a way to not suck and still have a stupid situation blow up on this team. Idk what we will do but if there’s one thing I’ve learned under Bruce is he will do it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTTRDynasty Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 This is... odd. Quote "A lot of the anger is from the McCloughan hiring," Russell said. "A lot of it is from bypassing Wade Phillips, not once, but twice. Letting other competent executives out the door. Not winning enough, of course, is the biggest thing." ... "Absolutely," Russell said. "Also what I was told was Snyder never said, 'Go and hire McCloughan.' Snyder said, 'Go and get yourself a football man.' McCloughan was hired by Bruce because Snyder and A.J. Smith, who was there at the time, didn't see eye to eye over Griffin. As a matter of fact, A.J. hated Griffin. Snyder of course beloved Griffin. And, basically that meant A.J. was not staying. "So they bypassed A.J. Smith, the former Charger general manager, went to McCloughan -- a guy who Bruce admitted, 'I've never worked with him. I don't know the guy. I know his dad, I know his brother, but I don't know the guy.' We all know the backstory to that. And then, from what I understand, it was a disaster from four or five months in, if it even took that long. Ultimately, Dan wanted to get him fired long before he ultimately did. Bruce tried to repair it, hold on, fix it, couldn't, and then that's what led to the hasty firing." https://thefandc.radio.com/why-dan-snyder-is-so-furious-with-bruce-allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Draper Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I bet either of these guys, who btw have higher iq’s and more common sense than Brice, would do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripsean21 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 The sad thing about this is we could have really tried hard this year to get Dorsey!!!! A really good football mind who has brought in a lot of highly regarded people into his scouting dept. I think the best thing for this team to do is find a young up and coming football mind to lead this program. Someone hungry and someone who has a true vision as to how to give a coaching staff the players he needs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only guy brought in was shown the door quicker than he could actually sit down at a desk. I agree, someone that is fresh. Hell, I would take the old Browns GM. He set that team up with multiple picks and talent across the board. He made Dorsey's job easy for the next few seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I trust Snyder to do the opposite of right and not because he doesn’t care but I think he genuinely thought bringing in George Allens son would be a step in the right direction. I like Doug Williams here in some capacity but we need a true football mind somewhere. NE couldn’t block us from trying to interview a good young scout to be a GM but I think even more so Inclined to get someone out of Seattle’s Scouting dept. I don’t think Campbell is bad I just don’t think he is a good GM candidate. We need someone fresh from outside who has earned their credentials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about the Steelers and I agree. I just want some form of competence and someone who can actually tolerate Dan enough to get dan to see his side to get dans graces and left alone to actually do his job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
