The Scot McCloughan experiment in Washington has come to an end. Team president Bruce Allen announced on Thursday that McCloughan has been fired. The team did not formally say why, but the Washington Post is reporting that “an official with direct knowledge of the situation” said he had multiple relapses with alcohol.
The official said that McCloughan had shown up drunk in the locker room, and the situation has been a “disaster” for the past year and a half. The Post spoke with some players who did not see it as a disaster, which naturally raises questions about how all of this is going down.
