a job...Redskins fired him.I'm afraid to ask...out of what exactly?
http://twitter.com/RickMaese/statuses/13433284705Teams typically wait until after draft to make changes to scouting departments. More changes to scouting and front office on horizon
Maese's statement about more changes to "scouting AND the front office" were coming soon. Its just a general paradigm shift going on at Redskins park, and it started with the hiring of Allen. Out with the old, in with the new.Donnie was hired on as a scout under Gibbs in 2005. Not sure if his role expanded or not after that.
As to how that leads one to conclude Karl Swanson was going to be fired ... I am all ears.![]()
It appears that the decision may have been mutual on both sides.Again, its all very possible that Swanson truly left on his own terms, but all signs point to him being forced out.
That would be asinine. Scouts spend 9-12 months preparing for the draft. New hires would not be able to get up to speed in time. After the draft is the only time that makes sense to give them time to prepare for next year's draft.Why would they fire scouts after the draft? If that was the plan all along, why not fire them before the draft and get as much as you can from the scouts whose opinions actually matter?
In addition, I believe that most scouts contracts end soon after the draft for this very reason.That would be asinine. Scouts spend 9-12 months preparing for the draft. New hires would not be able to get up to speed in time. After the draft is the only time that makes sense to give them time to prepare for next year's draft.
