.@SheehanPodcast: "From a source, Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen are very aware of the #FireBruceAllen movement, and they don't really care. For now, anyway, it looks like Bruce Allen is staying in the organization, and in the same role."

Is Bruce Allen now in charge of football and business operations? #Redskins spokesman: "I guess so. Sure." https://t.co/ypkSPVBt8r

“There was never any question about this,” Tony Wylie, the team’s senior vice president for communications said Friday when asked about Allen’s status. “Of course he’s coming back.”

Bruce Allen to return to Redskins as team president in 2019https://t.co/oHPeaqT9Qi

For the record it became "official" that Bruce Allen was staying the second Lafemina & crew got fired on 12/26. Bruce won that battle and he was locked in for another ride! Today's report is a formality of sorts. That his role is expanding is the news.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) January 11, 2019

Not that this is a surprise to anyone, but still worth pointing out that last year, the Redskins hired business execs because they wanted Allen to be able to focus on the football side of things. One 7-9 season later, Allen is expanding back to business side again. https://t.co/MqAgjSgxkO

When you're horrible at one job, the best thing to do is add more responsibility--which will now be forever known as: The Redskin Principle of Success. Thank you. Peter Drucker and Warren Bennis take note.

Bruce Allen just re-gained the authority that he lost last year when the #Redskins hired Brian Lafemina to run business operations. He's more than familiar w/ this role. What is new? The complete disregard for anything the organization tries to do or stands for. #Redskins

I think the issue is they have sucked and Snyder hasn’t made changes. At this point, the only reason I haven’t walked away is the players.

Shirl, a diehard of 50 years, has raised 3 generations of Skins fans, but says they're all "peeling off" because of Dan Snyder's ownership: "So, if I ever hit the lottery, I'm gonna make an offer to buy 'em and boot all their asses out."

Bless you, Shirl. https://t.co/vqMMexgOol

I spend a majority of my free time studying the very worst organization in professional sports.

It's not even that I hate them. It's that they actually make me hate myself.

Some NFL regular-season attendance notes:
-- 67,100 for NFL is lowest average since 2011
-- Good story in L.A.: Chargers up NFL-best 29%, while Rams up 14%
-- Cowboys have led each season since Jerry World opened in 2009
-- Redskins down league-worst 19%; Bucs -9%; Bengals -5%

— Austin Karp (@AustinKarp) January 2, 2019

A thought: If Dan Snyder fails to get public support for new stadium, which seems entirely possible, then as FedEx Field deteriorates over time, would other NFL owners decide for sake of league that they had to pressure him to sell team?

I hear they all just faxed Gregg their offers, said name your price, sign it, and fax it back to us, no interview necessary.

Sounds like the #Redskins are still putting out feelers for new defensive coordinators while still employing their current one... https://t.co/2SDQzR22kv

"Nobody knows who is employed or not employed in that building right now."

The #Dolphins have informed Darren Rizzi he will not be named their new HC, per league source. It is worth noting though, that Rizzi enjoyed a quality/long interview and remains highly respected within the organization.

My understanding is #Cowboys passing game coordinator/ defensive backs coach Kris Richard, has not yet been informed of any decision by the Miami #Dolphins on the head coaching job at this time, per source.

There are some legit complaints to have with Gruden. Missing on defensive coordinators, clock management, some questionable play calls at times too. But considering the mess this organisation has been in for years, to produce a consistently competitive team deserves more credit https://t.co/hTTBNyM0bS

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) January 11, 2019

Y’all need to realise Gruden has adapted his offense to RG3, Cousins, McCoy, Smith and even Josh Johnson at the end of the year. The stuff he ran with Johnson was very creative, would fit well with Murray. Many of Oklahoma’s concepts crossover with Skins... https://t.co/fypxgPCawG

If the Redskins want Kyler Murray, and he's there at 15, they better be sure to take him. Anything else is playing scared. @JPFinlayNBCS explains. https://t.co/qdFdO3tWUW pic.twitter.com/ToG2z4SLVB
