The Redskins organization has seen plenty of turnover in recent years, but one consistent has been Bruce Allen. Could the team president suddenly be on the hot seat? Mike Garafolo of NFL Network seems to think so. Appearing on Good Morning Football, Garafolo said that everything is up for evaluation in Washington this offseason, and that includes Allen’s role with the organization (Twitter link).
The reporter adds that the team has hit “rock bottom right now,” and owner Dan Snyder understands that something drastic needs to happen. Further, Garafolo opined that “for the first time, i’m really feeling like they are evaluating Bruce Allen’s role with the team going forward.” For what it’s worth, Garafolo also added the caveat that Allen’s job could be safe should the Redskins and rookie Dwayne Haskins show up down the stretch.
George Allen had coached the Redskins to their first Super Bowl appearance back in the 1970s, making his son Bruce a popular pick when he was hired as the organization’s general manager in late 2009. The executive has seen a number of title changes during his tenure with the Redskins, including his promotion to team president in 2014. Allen had previously served as general manager of the Buccaneers.
While Allen has continually had the trust of Snyder, he’s struggled to field a competitive team. The Redskins are 44-79 during his time with the organization, and the Redskins only has a single playoff appearance during that span. The front office is now searching for the third head coach of Allen’s tenure after he fired Jay Gruden earlier this season (Bill Callahan is currently serving as the interim head coach). Mike Shanhan had served as head coach/executive vice president from 2010 to 2013.
Nice record Bruce… time to kick you to the curb!
FINNNNNAAALLLLLLYYYY
About 4 years to late.
Love the picture. Discribes him perfectly
Yes his seat is hot, that’s why he’s slamming that water!
Yeesh about time
Should have been gone years ago
With their abysmal record, I don’t understand how anyone could survive ten years as GM. They’ve won nothing in that span and are poised to continue to be awful.
Dan Snyder should be on the hot seat as well
Indeed
How many sons of legends actually live up to the unrealistic expectations people have for them?
The best thing for the Redskins would be for them to lose every game left. That way they get a high pick, and this clown gets fired.
The Browns have had 10 first round picks since 2014…where did that get them?
They were the preseason champions. They have all those morons talking about how good they were going to be and the lemming talking heads bought in. All the talk and a ham sandwich gets you a ham sandwich.
They do appear to have potential as street brawlers though.
Also, without condoning what Garrett did, it just feels as if there would have to be a trigger to take it to that level. Pittsburgh isn’t exactly a portrait of class. They are coached by a guy who tried to trip an opposing player running down the sideline.
They’ve got a roster full of talent. It’s just not clicking there at the present. That doesn’t mean they don’t have guys on that team that can play the game though.
