The Redskins’ internal drama has been well-documented, but team president Bruce Allen claims that he’s heard from “every agent” for head coaching candidates regarding the vacancy (Twitter link via NFL Network’s Andrea Kremer).

“Let’s just say we’ve heard from every agent,” Allen said. “They found our phone number.”
The Redskins have seen the postseason since their 2015 playoff exit against the Packers in the Wild Card round. This year, they canned Jay Gruden after an 0-5 start that dropped his career record to 35-49. When Gruden was fired, he was reportedly happy to be moving on from the team and an apparently toxic relationship with club management.
When asked about the Gruden divorce, Allen was terse, to say the least.
“We HAD to fire Jay,” he said (via Kremer, emphasis hers). “The team wasn’t responding.”
There are, at least, two candidates currently in the mix for the Redskins job: interim head coach Bill Callahan and offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell. The Redskins are expected to consider both men for the post before potentially casting a wider net in December.
This photo for the article was well chosen. Shows Allen’s arrogance really well lol
Yes this dang picture.
Great pic and so true. Well done!
Redskins are run by idiots
What an understatement! And it starts with the bozo called Snyder!
Why don’t the Redskins hire Matt Millen..
it’s an upgrade from what’s going on right now!
Please take Tomlin
I know. I’ve been wanting him out of Pittsburgh for ten years
Ten years? Come on. He hasn’t been amazing, but ten years ago, he had just led the Steelers to the victory in Super Bowl 43, and then he led them to the super bowl again three years later. He’s only been bad for two or three years.
Whoever picks out these pictures deserves an award
Haskins struggled tonight. He looks like he has a long way to go.
I was laughing when I saw this pic lol so funny and so true.
The fans should boycott this team, don’t show up to games, don’t buy season tickets, don’t watch the games, don’t buy merchandise and show up to games protesting for him to sell the team. It worked for the Dodgers with the McCourts and I feel it’ll work for the Redskins. Something has to force a change and the only way that’s going to happen is if the fans stand up and force that change. I’m sure I’ll get some people talking crap about my idea but I know it’ll work. The NFL will step in if the fans step up and get their message across that they won’t stand for this crap anymore. We have a huge voice, we have to use it the right way and we can. I’m not a fan of that team but I am fan of the NFL and I’m personally sick of this team and this owner. It’s a joke.
No brother, we’re doing that here in Pittsburgh, towards the pirates and that piece of crap nutting
Aren’t they already doing that? Seems like the stadium is only being filled by the visiting team’s fans anyways
Hilarious post by Thronson advocating a boycott of the Redskins. Apparently his selective amnesia allows him to forget that his 49ers averaged just 4 wins over the past 4 seasons.
who the hell would want to mess up their coaching rep by going there with Allen and Co .
I me it would be one thing if the owner was gone and Allen was gone then I’d say it wouldn’t be a bad place for hc candidates
The fact remains that there are only 32 head coaching positions in football.
The Redskins even in the present depths have been a near .500 team. There’s some good young talent on board on defense and there’s potential for the offense. The offensive line rebuild will use up most of the top end of the Redskins’ next year’s draft class though.
Contacted by every agent? Sure. But, how many called to inform them they had no interest in the job?
He’s heard from every agent of his players, all asking to be traded.
The Redskins should do Adrian Peterson a favor and ship him out before Tuesday…Unless…This is karma for taking the tree to his son…Hmmm, maybe we should make him stay….
Dude looks like a complete goof in that pic
Every agent: please don’t call, my client isn’t interested
Love the photo choice! I’m assuming it’s to represent how much of dope this guy is?
As stubborn and arrogant as Bruce Allen sometimes is, I don’t see what the problem with this photo is. It’s a picture of a white guy in a tie and a jacket as far as I can see.
