With the draft in the rearview mirror, the Washington Redskins will soon formally reorganize their front office, which was shaken up when former general manager Scot McCloughan was fired in March. As responsibilities are shuffled, though, the Redskins may not give anyone McCloughan’s former title.
Last week, John Wooten of the Fritz Pollard Alliance told Jason Cole of Bleacher Report that the Redskins have submitted a plan to reorganize their front office without naming a general manager.
The Fritz Pollard Alliance is an organization that promotes diversity among NFL coaches and executives. They monitor compliance with the Rooney Rule, which requires teams to interview at least one minority candidate for any head coach or general manager opening, which is why they would receive notice of the Redskins’ plans.
