Washington Redskins president Bruce Allen faces crucial test at draft

For almost a decade, Bruce Allen, son of former Washington Redskins head coach George Allen, has been the president, and more often than not, the acting general manager of the Washington Redskins franchise.

Allen’s tenure has been marked by tumult, and now, 52 wins, 75 losses, one tie, and countless negative publicity episodes later, Allen is treading on thin ice. According to local media member Chris Russell, per our own Jacob Camenker, if Allen takes one more step back, he will be “re-assigned”. Here’s what Russell said in a video:

I’m told that Dan — he’s not going to make a move today, or any time right now — but if another major episode happens, or if they do not win this year, the full expectation among a couple of people, including a couple of high-end people, is that they will reassign Bruce into the stadium development department, to lead that, and take him out of football.
