Four questions raised by the Redskins? McCloughan hire | Rich Tandler's Real Redskins
Tandler. McCloughan reportedly is extremely buddy buddy with Jon Gruden (and I would imagine, by association, Jay). So I can't imagine there being coaching change anytime soon. I think he'll embrace Gruden's position on Griffin too - which is essentially 'win the job or don't - it's up to you'. McCloughan has a history of drafting a QB nearly every draft until he finds one that can play (such as a Russell Wilson). I think, unless you buy into conspiracy theories, the 3rd question is a silly one. You don't bring in a guy like this without empowering him to make all the calls. Now whether, if things don't start off exceedingly well, Snyder and Allen can continue to let him call the shots, that might be a legitimate question in a couple years. And I think the scouting/personnel side will definitely be rebuilt in his image. I don't see many of the current major scouts (including Scott Campbell himself) being around a year from now. If they were the right guys, we wouldn't be where we are. That may take a while to happen though.
