Scot McCloughan Agrees to Be New Redskins GM!

The Washington Redskins have a new GM and it's almost finalized.  Scot McCloughan has reportedly agreed to become the new GM with Bruce Allen staying Team President.  The deal will be for 4 years.  I'm traveling right now and luckily not driving or I might have ended up on the side of the road in a snowy heap.

As @RealMikeRob says, McCloughan to Redskins is happening. Expect a press conference Friday or Saturday. He'll be GM, Bruce Allen president

I'm told Mark Davis reached out to McCloughan 1 last time last night. Offered him 'president of personnel' under McKenzie. Conversation over

Worth mentioning ... Scot McCloughan had a great relationship with Jon Gruden, they worked together in Green Bay. Now, he'll work with Jay.

It will be a 4-year deal for Scot McCloughan and the #Redskins, I’m told. Goes without saying, it’s a huge hire from a personnel standpoint.

A lot of people forget Scot McCloughan was director of college scouting for Seahawks 2000-2004, helped build team that got to SBXL in '05

McCloughan will have full power over the #Redskins personnel department, per source. That includes adding/subtracting the actual evaluators.

Wow. @AlbertBreer just said this hiring means the #Redskins will look to draft news quarterbacks starting this year on #CDVTW @1067thefandc

If they haven't already, #Redskins have to satisfy the Rooney Rule and interview a minority GM candidate before hiring McCloughan.
